The news from this unfortunate Re-
public which we published on yesterday,
shows that the civil power has again been
subyeried by military aggression. Pa
reaes, drunkard and fool, hiss with
10000 men, overthrow government,
and usurped political power over seven
millions Of so-called ircemen. This re-
volution is one in which the United States
have deep interest. Has it been plan
ned and perfected by Santa Anna? Such
we suspect to have been The case. Has
il been acquesced in and forwarded by
British diplomacy, for the purpose Of Gre
atng a diversion on our Southwestern
frontier, and thus enabling the singularly
acute statesmen at the head OF the British
government 10 make better bargain
about Oregon than they could otherwise
hope to effect This is by no means i'm
probable, Has it been coUntenanced by
France? We cannot say; but when the
policy Of that goyernment--its perfect
union with that of England, and the sys-
lematic policy which both have pursued
in relation to the United States, is consl-
dored, we should not be surprised TO learn
that all the elements indicated have com
biued TO produce this revolution. 1t GER,
taiuly is, if the proclamations Of Paredes
may be believed, founded particularly on
Mexican luminosity to the United States.
The possession Of Texas, and the prospect
Of peace, were the arguments used WITH
the army and the mob, and used most ef-
lectually for the overthrow Of the constr
tutional government.
From such state Of things what have
we to expect Petty hostility, piratical as
saulis on sea, and ptiful robberios on
land. The valiant Gen. Paroles has de-
clared that Mexico is at war with Texas,
and that he is determined 10 prosecute that
war! Very well--io be at war with Tex
as now IS to take up arms against the Uni
ted States, and it is high time that such
trilling matters should be settled We
have borne long enough; we have submit.

folly; we have allowed the government Of
that country TO cheat aud laugh at us, in
matters Of the utmost importance 10 ma

miss our Minister with disgrace; we have
listened to and pretended TO despise lis

this system Of inactivity must end A re,

senseess army placed in power, on nc
other pretext than that afforded by the ne
cessity Of an immediate ard active wal

clared as fully az it can be by any autho'
riiy upon earth. Let il then be waged.
