Extract from letter dated Caracas, July 9Th, and adj
dressed by an american 10 gentleman in this city

"The few North Americans remaining in Carac-
paid visit to the American charge d'affaires
the 4th inst, and partook of his hospitality, in
the shape of good old wine, and other refresh
mens, in remembrance of this great national jubilee.
The United States flag was floating to the breeze
over the residence of MIR. Ellis, who still remains in
charge Of the egation and il quite agreeable and
pleasant the feelings of American, actually abb
sent from his country to find himself even construct
ipeiy transferred to his native land. During the
day, the diplomatic colleagues of our charge daft
fairies, the President and cabinet minister's and a
large number of private citizens, called and con-
graduated Mr. Ellis upon the return Of another
niversary Of his countrys independence. Our
visit WINS made quite agreeable. The following
day (the 5th instantly was the anniversary OF
the independence of Venezuea; and, from morn
ing till night, the city filed with flags floating,
music and all kinds Of rejoicing even to buH-bait-
ing About IL o'clock, the President (Soublette)
and cabinet received the foreign diplomatic corps in
body, and large concourse Of people of all grades
and classes. The President was richly dressed in
his military uniform, and the members Of the diplo
matte corps in their court-dresses. had conve-
nent position to witness the interesting spectacle;
and could not but notice and admire the contrast
between the gaudy apparel Of the representatives
of the different monarches and the plain repub-
lican attire of our American charge-the former
being caparisoned with rich and embroidered uni
forms, military hats, and gttering swords; and the
latter neatly dressed in suit Of black, with white
hat and with badge of distinction, except the very
appropriate of elegant gold eagle on his left
breast Yet, understand Mr.. Ellis is more popular
with this government than any other foreign repre-
sentative. At night, there was an elegant ball CIV
en- at Volmer's, which attended, where the raven
hair, dark eyes, and bewitching movements Of the
graceful Caraccanean beauties made me almost forget
the far-famed ladies' of the Monumental City.

UNION.

Tue GREAT BRITAIN magnificent vessel
deserves to be, as she ia the lion Of the day. Om-
nibuses full of passengers hacks and private car
riages, are constantly on the drive towards the
Tobacco Inspection Warehouse, East river, where
she lies; and such is the magnitude of her decks
and cabins, that a thousand vsiters may be on
board, and yet not interfere with each other. As
she lies at the wharf she does not appear as large
she really is and her beautiful proportions are not
seen to the most advantage. Connosseurs, how
ever, examine her trim and finish closely, the beau-
tiful swell from stem to stern, the buoyancy and
stately manner in which she has been modelled and
finished and her whole exterior combining light
ness with finished workmanship, in which every
piece Of metal has been cautiously selected and fitted
with the utmost neaness. All her saloons and
sleeping cabins most neatly and comfortably ar
ranged, and can accommodate several hundred pas
sengers; while the promenades sheltered from the
weather, are ample and spacious. But the chief
wonder is the engine-room, where the magnitude OF
her boilers, and the elegance and finish Of the work
throughout, are seen to great advantage. The
steamer is worthy of a visit from the most remote
regions of our country. About 5000 persons have
already been on board, and we presume more than
so 600 will visit her before she returns to England
besides every stranger who is now here, or may
arrive in the city before her departure.M Y. Sun.

The news thus far received is highly favorable.
Mr.. Brown is, undoubtedly elected governor by
about 1000 votes and the prospect Of democratic
majority in the Legislature is fatterlng. The only
counties where we expected to gain members,
which have yet been heard from, (Giles and Bed

MEXICO-DECI ARATION OF WAR.

MEAlCO-DECLARAIl OF WAX.
The schooner Relampago, which recently arrived
al the baiize from Vera Cruz, came up TO the city
on Tuesday evening. Our previous accounts by
this vessel were very limited, based as thew were
upon verbal statements, and short extract from
one OF the few letters which reached the city in
company with the dispatches for the State Depart.
ment. II was not until late hour Yesterday thar
we received The letter, an extract from which fol-
lows, containing the official communications. n
translation of which is subjoined The letter is
from friend and correspondent in Vera Cruz, and
enclosed the communications, which are from the
Minister of War and Marine of Mexico. 1t ap-
pears by these, that the previous intimations Of
the intention Of Mexico to declare war against
this country have assumed positive and deierm-
nate shape. No simple act Of non-intercourse it
appears, will give sufficient vent to the pent-up in
digna,on of our Mexican neghbors. Nothing short
of war--a war of INVASION too, that c0ntemplates
among the least of its triumphs the reconquest Of
Texas-will appease their bellgerent feelings, and
heal their wounded honor Well, if it is 10 be,
we must prepare ourselves for the struggle. We
hope, by this lime, that fleet is in the Gulf-we
know that our little army is at its post The
Water Witch, which may be looked for every day,
will bring us full particulars
We have reason to believe that the dispatches to
the Department Of State at Washington, brought
by the Relampago, communicated the fact ofwar
having been declared by the Mexican govern
ment.
In still closer view Of war with Mexico, we
take occasion to repeat what said the other day,
to the course which should be pursued in such
an event. II we are to be embroiled in conflict
with Mexico, we hope that the scale upon which
the contest will be prosecuted by us will bear some
relation to the power and dignity of this nation. Let
the assertion Of our might well of our right be
so complete, that, among the other results of bril-
liant campaign, no vesdge of European influence
will remain in Mexico to tempt her into repetition
of the faulty Of going to war with US
