to part OF some recent impoItaons from Buenos

per cent ad valorum costing cents per pound,
under at the place Of exp oraton but which has since
been discovered to have been greatly undervalued,
and consequently subject to the highest rate speci
fed in the tariffs cents per pound and 80 per cent
The whole quantity which alleged has been thus
ported under false invoices is between 800 and bales
valued at from $4,000 to 100000. |; has nearly all
been seized300 bales having been taken this city or
Lowell in the hands of manufacturers who had pur-
chased if from the importers, and the balance in New
York. The principal part Of the wool came to New
York, consigned to Messrs. w. w. La Forest & Co.. by
foreign house. The lot that arrived here came from
the same house to Mcssrs. Barnard, Adams & Co. The
fraud first suspected in the Boston house,

G Correspondence Of the Herald

WASHINGTON, August TO- ls45.
War! War!
rumor came into town, via Baltimore, this
morning. that Mexico had declared, formally declar-
ed, war against the United States and predicated
upon this rumor it is said that the President, Mr..
Mason, Mr. Bancroft and the Secretary of War. Mr.
Marcy were in consultation to-day upon the insruc
tons, called for in this alternative, to our forces in
Texas on land and sea- We think there is some
basis for this rumor from the fact that although the
President and the Cabinet were invited to the ded-
cation Of new Methodist church in this city this
morning, none of them were present To use the
language of Mr. Webster, "there are no Sabbaths in
revolutionary times" The Great Britain may vet
have the report, in extra Herad to bear to Eng
land, of the defeat by the United States infantry lst
1000 taken prisoners, including Arista himself. II
