yellow-skins of Bustamente. Some saw that the
nature and necessity of war between Mexico and
the United States is tacitly understood between the
two Governments, and that if war is declared by
Mexico, it will be like the duel between Clingman
and Yancey, mere farce. Mexico, it is supposed,
has actually hinted that she has no alternative
but declaration of war against us, in order to
maintain or rather restore her internal peace, she
hopes our Government will consider it mere piece
of by-pay after which, when it shall have been

not altogether vanished And it remains to be seen
whether it is ndifferenty or dangerously surcharged

democrat, but said to be resident Of this city and
a whig, and Mr.. Williams, brother-ln-aw OF the
Russian Ambassador, the Count Bodlsco, and also
