The editor of the Red River Republican says that
gentleman who travelled to Memphis with Ashbel Smith
when he descended the river informed by that gen.
teman that he had seen document which was intend
ed to be addressed by Capt Elliott the part of the
British government to the government OF Mexico pro-
testing against declaration of war by the latter There
the British government would protest against declara
ton of by Mexico but it seems to us that Mr. Bank
head the British Minister in Mexico, and not Captain
Elliott, is the proper person to make the protest.

These fabrcatons were doubt propagated to force
speedy and pacific adjustment Of the difficulties between
the two Governments, and am fully persuaded now,
that this much talked Of will all end in smoke. The
Princeton left the soop Saratoga at Vera Cruz where
she will remain until relieved by other vessel The
course adopted by Commodore Conner in arranging
his squadron that his Government be almost daily
the appreciation not only Of the Navy Department. but
his countrymen generally.
