Aezysi THE MEXICAN WAR.
/, is fully understood that the Mexicans
have been sustained in .heir hostility to
the Uniled States by foreigners. So alter
all il is not quite so magnanimous to be
so cool and comfortable under insui, as
might be supposed. even if our soil were
nor invaded. Butwe will give transla-
,ion of Proclamation which AmPudia
has found the means Of distributing in the
American camp, by way OF leiiine our
readers into the secret service oi the war
now raging. o,. n..
anna to the English and irssh under
the orders Of the american Gen. Taylor:
Know YE: That the Government, OF
the United States is committing repeated
acts of barbarous aggression against the
maguauinous Mexican Nation; that the
Government which exists under "lhe flag
of the stars" is unworthy Of the desiSna
lion of Christian. Recollect that you
were born in Great Britain that The Amer
ican Government looks with GOODNESS up
on the powerful flag Of ST. George. and is
provoking to a rupture the warlike people
70 whom !, belongs, Pre- ,ident Polk bold
1y manifesline desire 10 take possession
Of Oregon, as he has already done OF lex
as, Now, then, come with all confidence
10 the Mexican ranks, and guarantee to
you, upou my honor good treatment and
that all your expenses shall be delrayed
until YOUR arrival in the beautiful capltai'
Of Mexico.

TIfis exhibits he machinatlous at the
aot,om of the present enterprise. The
Mexican fort of San Juan do Ulua is TILED
with foreign engineers, aud the Army now
this side Of the Rio Grande is accompa
nied by French, English and olrer arlilfe'
rymen. An army altogether Formidable
enough To excite the spuuk and exercise
the military abilities of as great people
as popular orators describe US TO be. awaits
us. Mark this. Aud since the war has
begun, let it be pushed forward with vi
gor. A tiny, Liiliputian affair, will but
tarnish our arms. To end the campaign
as becomes the honor and dignity of the
Republic, and American General should
dictate the terms of peace in the city OF
Mexico.
FROM MEXICO.
Since our last publication Capt. Brew
er of the brig Plymouth, has arrived from
Vera Cruz. He brought us our cores
pondence aud our files Of Mexican papers,
but tbe.iatier are no later than previously
received. The following letter may be
of some interest, as coming from very
respectable sources
German, French, Poles, and individuals
ofother nations! Separate yourselves from
the Yankees, aud do not contribute to de-
fend robbery and usurpation which, pe
assured the civilized nations of Europe
look upon with the utmost indignation.
Come, therefore, and array yourselves un-,
der the lri.colored flag, in the confidence
that the Coo. of Armies protec!sit, and that
it viii protect you equally with the En-
