II is not at all unlikely that the President will re-
commend Congress to take some decided measures
with Mexico in less han two months.

the Montreal papers Of the 9th inst. They contain
some rather interesting intelligence.

1t was rumored in Montreal that the militia were
to be Immediately embodied" This, however,
was contradicted in some circles.
The Montreal papers chiefly interesting for the
commentary they give upon the foreign news by the

II is stated that thirteen thousand troops of the line

account for some Of the recent movements that have
taken place in the lower Provinces.
