We are curious to learn what tbs effects Of this

The rupture between Mexico and the United States

The detailed commercial accounts from the Uni

The mercantile class in all the large places Of busi-
ness, and especially in New Orleans and New York,
| have already suffered much from the alarm and
discredit which the Mexican war has created, and
particularly by the certain withdrawal Of the gov
eminent deposites from the banks TO provide for the
war expenses, that we must expect that resort 10
hostites on the Oregon question will be more Than
ever an unpopular thing with those classes. More
over, the dealers and farmers in the western States
have also discovered how quickly their interests are
affected by any cause which interrupts commerce.

so favorable an opportunity may not be lost for ne

meet these expressions in a similar spirit. rar'

We are somewhat surprised to find many parties
| assuming that the victories on the Rio Grande
prove the utter inability Of the Mexicans to contend
with the United States troops, and that they viii
| put speedy end to ths war. We never doubted
the success Of the Americans In pitched battles, il
/ the Mexicans should be unwse enough 10 engage
| in them; nor do we now doubt the ability of Gen.
Taylor to drive his enemies from Matamoras, and
to penetrate into Mexico as far asthe nature Of the
| country, and his ability to procure supplies, will
enable him; but if the Mexicans are firm, the real
contest will then be only beginning. Like men OF
the Spanish race, the Mexicans are admirably ftted
for guerilla warfare; and the Americans would soon
find that they had something else to do than to fight
pitched battles; that the Of warfare most fatal
to an invading army Is that which he has to sustain
with hunger, and thirst, and toll, and with foes who
keep out of his way until they take him at ad-
| vantage. We believe that If the Mexicans should
display one-half the constancy which has been usual
under similar circumstances amongst their Spanish
and South American brethren, the war is not only
far from termination, but that it will require great
sacrifices from, and naict great losses upon, the in
vaders, before they can dictate terms of peace to the
Mexican people. 30 'aasa ~ ..@1rs.
/ AMERICA AND MExrco.--The South American

which British commerce must sustain by the block
aiding of the Mexican ports, and demonstrating in
clear and forcibe manner the aggressive acts Of the
government OF the United States, they respectfully
urge her Majestys government to offer its media
ton to put an end to the state of hostility between
