It is thought by many that the present government

war about to take place. but the opinion is pretty
general that the money cannot be obtained, and that

not venture, under existing circumstances to collect
together any considerable number of troops.
0rThe present army of Mexico is said to consist
of u coo officers and less than 20 coo soldiers.

Canado passed through Vera Cruz about the first of

Government of Mexico TO that Of the United States.

gotlatlon then pending with Texas, and the secrecy
with which the object of tie mission was kept from
the public, caused little commoton III that city.
A letter from Vera Cruz, dated Sth May. says
