MEXICO from The city 0
Mexico to the 30ih uli., and from Vert
Cruz 10 the 9Th inst, have been received
by the Water Witch, Captain lRENis
which arrived here on Thursday morning
: From the journals and correspondence
: we have received, we can gather no posi-
tive information as TO the course the Mex
; lean Government is likely TO pursue OF
The consummation Of the Annexation Of
: Texas to the United States They breathe
nothing but war against this country
this one theme occupies the pens OF boif
editors and ministers, as well as appear
ing in the proclamations issued by The dill
ferent Generals, Governors Of Depart
ments, 10 those under their command
The projects of the ministers are TO "raise
the wind" in some way, to enable them to
form the personnel and materiel of an ar
my for the purpose of invading the from
rer Of Texas on the Rio Grande. Yer.
baly, we learn that 10000 men had al
ready marched for that point, but this
needs confirmation, as during the presi-
dency of Santa Anna, when the army was
in better condition than at this moment,
and more 10 be depended on, the govern
ment could not collect much larger force
at San Luis Potosi; whilst ON the march
ihilher most regiments lost hall their COM
plement nf officers by desertion.
II will be seen that communications
have been presented from the ministers TO
the Chambers, requesting authority to me-
goiato loan of fifteen millions of dollars,
the total proceeds of which, when re-
allied, cannot amount TO more than Eve
millions, as the Mexican S per cent. stock
at the present moment is quoted on the
London Exchange at 373 per cent, and a
new loan will tend to decrease even its
present value.
We have been favored with the subjoin-
ed extract of letter, addressed to COM
mercial house in this city:
"VERA Cruz, August 9Th, 1915.
Although our Government has init
mated to tho Chambers declaration of
war to the United States, yet il appears
rather that no such formal step will be ia
ken, but measures be adopted TO raise and
equip sufficient force to march upon Tex
ass anu W w INC ulIilOSl W lCSOuliCi tlhl
territory. The above intimation was ac-
companied by another one, asking from
the Chambers 10 authorize the Executive
10 raise a lean which would produce fif-
teen millions of dollars cash, TO enable it
10 act with energy. AS far as we know,
it was likely that the demanded authorize
ton to contract the loans, either national
or foreign, would be granted" Bulletin.
The news by the Wafer Witch leaves
the question of peace or war with Mexico
in as doubtful a stale as ever it was. Be-
fore the departure of the Water Witch
from Vera Cruz, official information had
reached the Government of the aanexa-
ton of Texas, and the march of an army
of the United States for the occupation of
the annexed territory. still there had
been no declaration Of war, nor did there
seem to be a prospect of an immediate
PRONUNCIATION of hostilties. The most
begerent indication is, the recommends
ton by the Ministry to the Chambers, Of
an act authorising declaration Of war a
gainst the United States, and the negotia-
lion Of loan of fifteen millions OF dol
lars, for carrying 1t on. The measure was
under discussion by the Mexican Congress,
but whether any such bill as the one re.
commended would be passed, was highly
problematical. The great obstruction in
the way OF a hostile demons'ration' evl'
IDENTIFY, is the want OF money In the act
providing Tor declaration OF war, 1t is
apparent that the Ministry bases It's re-
communication on the ability 10 raise n
