luton, and marched upon Mexico with
6,G00 men. The administration had no
means of opposing his progress, and the
probability was that before the vessel
sailed lie was in possession of the gcv-
eminent. The policy of Ilarrera towards
the United States has been the mos,
proXimaie cause of the revouton-lhe
war-cry having been raised throughout
the country, and the mob of soldiers and
others excited To that pitch of madness
which would induce them to attempt the
overthrow of any government that coun-
selled peace with this country. lfpare-
dies has succeeded. the mission of Mr..
Slidcll will of course be unsuccessful,
and the two countries will remain in n
state Of doubtful hosiii,es, which i, will
be the duty of our government TO bring to
an immediate termination. The latest,
dates which the Joaquina brough, from
the city Of Mexico, are to the 18th ult.

the Sr. Mary's from Vera Cruz. In the
