The Eject OF the Mexican War News In
England.

my news from America by the Cambria stea-
h mer Is OF startling Importance. The United States
have declared war against Mexico, and the first
conntctoi arms has taken place, in which the in
vaders have been beaten. The Mexicans do not
choose to be robbed of their land without defend
ing u 10 the last extremity; and the robbers, find
ing their possession and their claim disputed, re-
sort to the Formally of open warfare. May God
defend the right. II this do not facilitate the
emancipation OF upwards of three millions of
black slaves, we are much mistaken, and shall be
greatly disappointed.
