a private letter was received in Wa shington,
by the las. southern mail from Texas. west of tho

Mexico rs really were concentrating provisions
and munitions of war Ma.nmoras as fast as

in this matter for their facilities for ootainngcor

WILL NE1Ico DECLARE WAR7--Thc Tropic
of tho 9th answers this question thus:
The sum total of all the intelligence thus far
received, is, that the probabilities of war with
Mexico are somewhat stronger than they were
when wrote article of Tuesday. The
only authenticated rumor then was that the Mex
lean Consul here had been instructed 10 withdraw
from this country. That rurnor has now become
fact, though told that his Immed late
Withdraw not demanded but that il was
left to his discretion when to close his busi-
ness here.-Wh neither will be declared or not,
is yet open question that cannot be positively
answered for some tne-at least, until got
later intelligence from Mexico. We deem it
wrong TO proclaim declaration of war before
such thing is known. and equally wrong to with
hold any evidences of its probability.
