Another Presidential War
threatened.

At the sitting of the Senate on Saturday last
resolution was submitted by Mr.. Clarke, and
adopted, calling on the President for informa-
ton us to whether any orders had been given to
our naval forces to proceed 10 Iucatan, for the
protection of the inhabitants; and, II so, 10
communicate such orders and correspondence
thereon to the Senate.
In pursuance of this call Message was on
Monday last semitic tie Senate by the President
Of the United States, communicating copies of
certain despaches from the Navy Department
to our Naval Officers, of which we publish cop
les in another page Of this paper. The follow
ing extract, however, from one letter addressed
TO Commodore Perry SINCE The Scnuie has had he
Tucnian question under debGie will show what
designs are not only meditated but are even
uOou, being carried into execution, with the
obvious intent, without the consent of Congress,
to involve this country in fresh war, on the
ground Of supposed continental duty or nGces
eity on The part oi the Erecdire:
"Whe The United States are engaged in a
war with Mexico, the actual presence, without
our consent, OF the armed force of neutral
Power within the territory of our enemy, co-ope-
rating with any portion Of the Mexican People
in military operations. [even assisting the Yucca
tanese To resist the Indians, we supposed can.
not be permitted. Such state OF ihings, it is
hoped, i'll not occur. If YOU should have rea-
son to believe that it will, You will communicate
1t without further delay, Iha. THE PRESI-
DENT may take such measures as his constt"-
tionaI duty ,CW require al his hands"
We invite the reader to observe the DATE and
sem the contents of this Letter, which was lssu-
I'd IRON the Navy Department near The close OF
last week, and to note tho renowned clam to
Prerogatiye Power which is made by the Exec
utlve, in the teeth of the Constitution and in the
face of Congress- The consequences TINT
might result from carrying into execution this
new Executive order are sci forth as follows in
the Washington correspondence Of the journal
OF Commerce, paper which generally supports
tile present administration:
1.-The above order Is the most important that
has ever been given from this Government on
any occasion. 1t is manifeslly intended TO car
out Mr.. Folks views and Policy, as declared by
him in his various Messages, in regard to the
interference of European Powers in the affairs
OF this continent. IL ,od ,nrore as in ,Ca,

the poorer we must become. 1t is not enough
that we have expended ten thousand lives aud a
hundred millions of money in "vndicaung our
