THE SIGNS OF WAR FROM MEXICO.

The Diario of Vera Cruz, received at New Or

from which the following extract is gwen. 1t is
dated at Matamoras, April 5th
sThe United States army is encamped on the
left bank Of the Rio Bravo. Slight Notifications
have been thrown up in 'front.' rather large bitches

for entertainments. | have redoubled my efforts to
attack the enemy morally and fatter myself that |
have succeeded, for deserers daily swelling our

have inspired such terror in the foe that they
know not what to do, convinced as they are that
they cannot leave their camp without heavy loss,
and exposing themselves to defeat These few lines
will enable you TO appreciate the advantages of a
prompt arrival, before Taylor has time to receive
reinforcements, and be enabled to make a vigorous
resistance. The triumph is certain to-day-to.

Another letter from Mejia declares ''that General
Taylor is compelled to employ one-haf his army in

Public attention at Vera Cruz was entirely alb
sorbed with the anticipated war with the United

We call the attention of the democracy to the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from democrat of Wash
ington city, to a friend in this city. We fully ap
prove of the suggestion, and we have no doubt but
that arrangements can and will be made, to have
Ohio represented in Jackson Hall, by flag with
her coat of arms. We submit the extract 10 the
democracy for their consideration:
"My present object in writing, is to inform you
that Messrs. Blair a. Rives have erected spacious
and costly hall, for the Of our association 1t is
called the Jackson Hall 1t is situated on PennsyI-
vana avenue, and the Capitol. 1t is now
nearly finished, and we expect to dedicate it on the
4th of July next We are now using an effort to
procure flag from each State-that is, flag of the
State bearing the coat Of arms Of the same This
we desire TO effect ny asking present; and fur
Their wish it to be given by the mechanics and work
ing men in general. Columbus being the metropo-
lis of your State, we desire one from there. With a
hope that may be permitted to ask this favor OF
you to lay the matter before the democracy Of your
State, with the request of the favor of presenting the
Jackson Association Of Washington with a flag OF
the above description. We expect nothing splen-
did, gay, or costly being satisfied with the princi-
pie of coming from the people Should we be so
fortunate as to be favored with one from your State
and by the working men, can be consigned to one
Of your Representatives in Congress-"
This hall has been erected by Messrs. Blair &
Rives, at vast expense, and is said to be most
magnificent building. 1t ia to be used as the demo-
cratic headquarters Of the jackson Association" OF
Washington city, and for public exhibitions, &c
the proceeds to be applied to the use of the assoca
ton. This has been done by those two generous.

We wish TO hear the sentiments Of the democratic
press Of Ohio upon this subject; and we have NO
doubt but that the unanimous response will be, that

FROM HAVANA-SEVEN DAYS LATER
The packet brig "Tii," Captain Brown, arrived
yesterday afternoon, bringing Havana files up TO the

this city. Sehora Cuero, formerly Miss Cmarte-

heard so much, we glad to see, is among them
Sgnora Majocchi de Valtena, and several other

FROM BUENos AYREs AND MONTEVIDEo.
We briefly noticed this morning the arrival of the
brig Oriole, Capt. Barstow, from Rio, with advices
of battle between the troops of Montevideo and
Buenos Ayres, on the LIST of March. The Herald
Of this morning has more detailed account, from
which we learn that the engagement was very
severe one, and the army OF Montevideo, the de-
feated party, numbered about six thousand men.
Every American vessel is obliged to undergo a
strict search by the French and English frgates,
composing the blockade. Three Spanish and two
Italian men-of.war we're in port.
The United States brig cambridge, Capt. PEN
nlngton, from Montevideo and the river Parana, ar
rived at Rio de Janero on the 4th of April last.
long diplomatic correspondence had taken place
between the English and French ministers and the
Buenos Ayrean government, which appears to have
had no farther result than to irrtae both parties,
and to confirm each ofthem severay in their previous
position of luminosity and bad feeling. The minis
ter OF foreign affairs for TIE Argentine republic
makes the following address in relation to the aore-
said correspondence:
"What then remains to be donei What ouI
fathers did, what oppressed countries do. To

Rifle Corps, the City Guards Washington Rife
Corps, and the FIRST Regiment of Pennsylvania

and transmitted the same to the President, rendering
their services to the general government Of the

Ledger says that the different companies of volun-

are busily preparing for any emergency. Nightly
drills have been ordered by several Of the captains
