War or Not =:
This question is still propounded in various quar-
ters of the country i'll many of the public Journals,
and also appears 10 be subject of cogltation at
Washington, il we may Judge from the ''organ.'
But nothing positive satisfactory seems as yet 10
be developed in Mexico, or elsewhere, as TO the pre-
sent state of the matter We in doubt whether
England will venture TO encourage Mexico TO make
war the United States for Texas, or whether
France will at all embroil herself in the premises.
Without the assistance OF some foreign government,
however, and the stimuli administered by fore Ign
powers, II is very evident that Mexico herself, un-

citizens OF this countrywe persuaded that flame
would be at once kinded throughout the UnitedSates
which would never be quenched until the whole Of
Mexico had been subdued from to sea, and from
the Rio Grande TO the remotest southern boundary
of that republic. This appears to be sentiment
pervading not only Texas but many parts OF this
country ; and in furtherance of this view, we have
been permitted TO publish copy of letter recently
addressed by the Hon. B. L. Archer, one of the IA

friend of his in Texas Here is the interesting and
important despatch =:
