Important from Mexico.

Declaration Of Var 1T would appear from the
following extract from the New Orleans Jeffersoni-
an of August z, that there can no longer be
doubt that Mexico has declared war against the
United States:
1.-THE schooner Relampogo which recently ar.
rived at the Balize from Vera Cruz came IN 10 the
city on Tuesday evening. We have reason to be-
eve that the dispatches 10 the department of state
at Washington, brought by the Relampago, com.
municOted the fact of war having been declared by
the Mexican Government.
OFFICE OF WAR AND MARINE.
C;rcuidr-The United States have consummat-
ed the perfdy against Mexico by sanctoning the
decree which declares the annexation of the de-
partment ofTexas TO that Republic.
The injustice of that usurpaton is apparent, and
Mexico cannot tolerate such grave injury with
out making an effort to prove to the United States
the possibility of her ability to cause her rights to
be respected.
With this object the supreme government has
resolved upon declaration of war against that
power, seeing that forbearance, instead of be-
ing received as proof of our friendly disposition
has been interpreted into an acknowledged impos-
sibility on our part TO carry a successful war.
Such al error on the part of the United States
will be advantageous to Mexico, because, sudden
ly abandoning its pacific attitude, il will tomorrow
communicate to Congress the declaration of war
and excite the patriotism of IFS citizens TO sustain
lle dignity OF the natton ana the integrity oil It's
territory, treacherously attacked in utter dis
regard of all guarantees recognized in this enlght
| ened age.
You will readily appreciate the importance of
this subject, and the necessity of preparing the
troops under your command 10 march toward any
point which may require protection against these
most unjust nggressions.

All the Mexican vessels in port have OBJ
tanned their clearances from the custom house,
with the exception Of the schooner Relanpago-
This vessel will await the pleasure of Mr. Arangocs
the Mexican consul for this city, who we under
stand, has closed his official relations with this
country, and will leave in the Relampago next
Saturday for Vera Cruz. The closing of tue Mex
lean consulate here will be followed by that of the
consulates elsewhere IN this country.
The New Orleans papers of the 9Th contain sun
dry paragraphs upon the state OF relations between
the United States and Mexico. The Bee says
| In regard to the question OF war, it should be
distinctly understood, that although Mexico will,
in all human probability, resolve upon hostlties
with the United States, the very latest and most
authentic advces state that declaration Of
! Of non-intereourse had been made.
The intelligence Of the ratification of anne xation
by the Texan Convention, had not reached Mexico,
aud II is highly probable that no definite action will
be had, until il is formally made known 10 the
government. Mexico doubtless preparing for
war, but will not declare war, until fully apprized
OF the action of the Convention.
The Diario del Goberno Of the 18th ut. contains
an exceedingly prolix statement addressed by Sem
or Louis G.. Cuevas, to the two Chambers on the
10th ult., reviewing the entire subject Of annexa-
ton, and the conduct of the American and Mexi-
can governments at elaborate length.
From the Bulle;inl The Mexican schooner
Reampago cleared yesterday at the custom-house,
! in ballast She no doubt chartered for the sole
purpose of conveying Senior Arangoes, the Mexi-
can consul, and his effects to Vera Cruz, and to
| bring instructions to close the other Consulates
throughout the United States.
From the Pcayune.] ARMY MOVEMENTS. We
learn that two companies of the 4th Infantry, I'M
der command of Mai Graham, will arrive here to-
day or to- morrow from Jefferson Barracks, their
way to join the force already in Texas. We also
hear that the weather was extremely warm when
the dragons left for Texas, hot that three OF
them fell from their horses dead, before crossing
the Sabine-a from being sun-sruck The wealth
er cooler, however, by the time they had
reached St Augustine, and all were moving on
we'll and in excellent spirits.
After the above was written, we learned that n
command of the 9TH Infantry, under Lieut.. Brtton,
is to occupy Fort Jackson, 10 miles below the city,
| Immediately. Col. Whistler promoted TO the COM
mand of the 4h Infantry, is TO join his regiment in
Texas. Capt. Bonneville, promoted TO the 9th In
fantry, as Major, will leave Baton Rouge in lew
| days for Fort Smith, Arkansas
NJ 1t was stated upon the arrival of the Relam-
pago that she brought dispatches for our govern
ment. The Washington papers do not contain any
such ntimaton. The Union has only the follow
ing under the head OF "Informaon from Mexico
A private letter was received in this city, by the
last southern mail from Texas, west of the Nueces,
dated July 25th, and stating that the Mexicans were
| really concentrating provisions and munitions of
war at Matamuras, as last as possible, and also
troops at Montery The writers of this letter are
engaged in the Mexican trade, and communicate at
| least weekly with Matamoras. They are not like
| ly to be deceived in this matter
| The N. Y Express says Of the news
The underwriters are sensitive, and have ad
vanced the rate of premiums on all vessels TO New
Orleans, Cuba, and all parts of the Gulf OF Mexico
one half per cent. To the Pacific risk is taken
unless the war clause is inserted, which reduces
| the hazard to mere sea risk. The general impress
sion in the street 49, il will be border affair
From the N. Y. Express Of Monday.
THE LAST MEMcAS NEws-There was great
excitement yesterday upon the arrival of the South
| ern Mail 10 learn whether there was any later in
eeived, except the sailing of the Mexican vessel
Relampago from New Orleans, with the Mexican
| Consul on board. Previous TO sailing, the Consul
addressed the following note to his counirymen in
relation to the business Of his Office
