INTERESTING FROM MEXICO.
IRON rur UNION or MONDAY NIGHT.

UNION OF MONDAY NIGHT
Letters and papers from Mexico were received
last evening, via Pensacola, at the Department of
State. We have been politely furnished with the
following paper translated from the Diaro del
Gobierno' of Mexico, of July 81.
The reader will of course remark that these
official papers, addressed by the Executive Govern
ment OF Mexico to Congress, not so much the
declaration of war as recommendation to declare
IT. 1t remains, of course, for Congress to decide
the fate of the proposition. They will determine
whether they will rashly precipitate their country
into war with the United States, and will also de-
eide upon the best mode of raising the sinews Of
war" in the shape of fifteen millions of dollars.
The character of Mexican politics is SO extraor-
binary, and this whole transaction comes i" in so
questionable shape" that one is puzzled to under
stand its bearings and its consequences. Is the
Mexican Government really determined madly on
war with the United States or, as is suggested in
teetter which we lay before our readers (receiv-
ed by this evenings Southern mail from Pensacola,)
is it mere political maneuyre to ensure the re-
election of General HERRERA! Be the motive what
it may, it becomes to be efficiently prepared to
meet any consequences which may ensue, and to
assert the honor and rights Of our country.
