out Of such state of things, should those ma

Again, the Mexican flag will cover thousands Of

disasters that must flow from the state Of things
into which Mr. Polk has forced the country, by
his bungng policy, win be such as that no proper

whatever the results to arise may yet be, we are
bound to support the nation in its wars with oth,

There is no additional news from the South thY

Arista, which is not improbable. Should this be
so, then the enemy win post himself upon all
those points where landing might be effected,

next news from Texas will decide the course the
