copy FROM the HERALD q note of the British N mis-
ter TO the Earl Of Clarendon, relative to the inter
view upon the subject between Secretary Marcy and
the British and French ministers.
The HERALD does not state the source from
which it obtained these documents, but it is said
that they have been laid upon the table Of the Bril-
tisl Parliament in response to call Of that body
and that their production was accompanied by u
speech of Lord John Russell upoo the subject 70
which they refer. We have not yetseen any British
journal containing this in diligence, and we there
fore defer such comments as we may zee Git {, make
upon the ipadmasible POSITIONS assumed in the let
ter OF the Britb Foreign Secretary, ia the expecta
ton that the whole case will soon be before US.
The Union is properly cautious, considering
the fact that they have not yet seen any Br-
tish Journal containing this intelligence" in
such cases it is safe to wait till the whole
case is laid before MS" The Secretary of State
will probably get Lord Johns letter. by the

CELEBRATION OF MEXICAN VICToR1Es.-We
are glad to notice the spirit which has been
recently manifested in this latitude, Of observ-
ing the annive rs aries Of those battles in the
Mexican campaign where the character Of
American arms was most honcrably main
tanned. The commemoration Of those glorious
days when the invincibility Of our citizen SOL
diers was proclaimed to the astonished world
amid the thunders Of cannon and the clash Of
hayonet and sabre. and in the face Of foe nu-
nerically ten times stronger than our own
little army. is custom which we would wish
to see established and practised with as much
veneration as the observance Of the victories of
the Revolutionary war, or that Of 1872.
From the following invitation which we have
received at this office. we are gratiied to find
that this sentiment is difras,ng ITSELF and be-
coming more generally acted on =
