"The Mexieans are coming here every
dav. and trade is quite brisk. We gather
several rumors this morning from party
which came in last evening, but there is
from such source. They say that Mex
leo has raised $l5,0 100000 from England
to carry on the war, and that II, 600 troops
are now moving from The interior TO the
frontier. There is another report that
some Of the leading Generals have decla-
red for the Constitution Of 1894, and that
troops were ordered back to the city OF
Mexico in consequence. We do not DIP
prehend any thing very serious Just now
from them, al any rale.
We learn from a gentleman who came
passenger from Cofpus Christi on the Gre
ole, that three companies of Mexican ira
ders arrived here about the Goth, and had
purchased largely Of goods. They re-
ported that a regiment OF Mexican troops
had started from Tampico about six weeks
ago for Matamoras, about TOO In number,
400 OF which had died or deserted Tor the

The news from Corpus Christi lends
conformation 10 the opinion ever expressed
by US, that there will be no declaration OF
war BY Mexico. 1t seems that Gen. ANS.
IA has vet made no demonstration towards
the threatened invasion of Texas. On the
contrary. he has not dared even TO cross
the Rio Grande, but has shut himself and
troops up in Mattamoros, as if himself ex-
pectnr an invason, instead OF showing
The intention of pushing the war into the
enemy's country. All the rurnors about
the large divisions that Mexico was march
ing on The frontier, have turned out to be
untrue, or much exaggerated. There is
manifesily no preparedness for offensive
operations. The ostensble purpose seems
