Threatening Aspect OF Our Affairs with
Mexico.

We have been favored with o private letter,
to one of our most respected fellow citizens,
which seems to portend a speedy rupture with
Mexico. The letter was written Oh the I'D
inst, at Minatitland, Tehuantepec, where the
U. S. Minister, Mr.. McLane, was then paying
a visit to the .. S. Consul, Mr.. Allen, and
conveys the intelligence that our Minister had
failed to come to any proper and creditable ar
rangement with the Juarez Government, as he
had failed to obtain just satisfaction from that
OF Miramon that he felt uneasy in his posi-
ton. and considered any further attempt at a
peaceful solution of the Mexican question use
less that in this sense he had plainly written
home to his government, as also he had notified
the government Of Juarez that if they do not
come at once to an understanding with the
United States a resort must be had to arms !;
and finally, to sum up oil, that as no proper
response was expected, wal between the two
countries was inevitable.
Stated thus broadly and literally. by a gen.
tleman who writes at his ease, this intelligence
is somewhat startling. 1t is. however, in its
general drift and meaning in accordance with
intelligence which we receive through other
and more direct sources. Not only has our
Minister, in his zeal in our national interests,
failed TO bring the Government OF Mirarnon to
a sense of duty but what GEMS, at first sight,
more nnaccountable, to these who do not know
Mexican character, he has failed to come to
any creditable and honorable arrangement
with the party which pretends, above all
Others, to be the party Of liberality and pro-
gress.
We state these facts, as they come to us
very directly, but not without misgivings as to
their entire accuracy, inasmuch as we are left
in doubt as to whether the writer reports
directly a conversation had by himself with
Mr.. McLane, or only a popular version OF
what may have accidentally fallen from bis
lips. In the meantime, however. we await.
not without impotence. the arrival of the next
from Vera Cruz, which will be due
about the 18th inst. lPicayune.

WAR VIEWS.

r.. 2NFE "EH 81 L.
The dispatches form the seat Of war this
week extend up to the 3Oth. ult. A brief re-
prospect Of the engagements which have taken
place since the first decisive battle at Monte.
hello will show that the Austrians have been
Tspuised on all occasions, while the Allies have
proved themselves signally victorious.
81 The battle Of Monticello was fought on the
2lst May, in which the Austrian forces num-
sbered $4,000 and the French 1000. The loss
yof the Anstrians is this battle was 1000 killed
and 200 made prisoners. The loss Of the
french was 700 killed. The next decisive
battle was fought at Palestro, 10 which the
forces on each side numbered from Is, 0 to
10000. The Austrians were again defeated
With heavy losses, while the French loss was
inoonsiderable. On the 4th 9Th and 9th Of
June the great battle Of Magenta was fought
nesr Milan. In this battle there were 10000
aAustrians. and 100000 French engaged. The
Austrian loss is put down at 5000 killed, and
1000 taken prisoners. The French loss at
1000 killed and wounded. The Austrians in
their retreat after the defeat at Magenta were
overtaken by the Allies at Melegnano, where
another sanquinary engagement took place, in
which the Austrians lost 1900 men killed, and
1200 taken prisoners. The French loss here
was very small.
We now come to the last great battle which
took place on the Mincio, near Mantua on the
evening Of the Oath Of june. In this battle
there were some 100000 men engaged. The
isAnstrsan force is reported at $4,000, and the
French at 10000. The battle lasted fifteen
cAours and resulted in . total overthrow and
defeat Of the Austrians. The French loss is
pat down ut 10000 killed and wounded, while
The Austrian loss is estimated at $4,000 killed
and wounded.
Thus it will be seen since the first opening
1T this war, the Allied French and Sandman
forces have covered themselves with victory in
every contest, and the Austrian have been re-
spulsed on every occasion with overwhelming
lloses.
Leaving the seat Of war on the Eastern
Continent, We now see that war has been de-
4 sard on The Western Continent, by Buenos
sAyres against the Argentine Confederation.
This Confederation comprises IL Provinces,
each having = separate independent govern
mcnt, and united only for mutual protection
agaiast foreign invasion. The foreign rela-
lions Of this Confederation were previous to
- revolution Of 1852 transacted through
Bsenos Ayres. This state since 1852 has re-
fhaed to acknowledge the new Confederation,
which became closer by the revolution at that
time, adheres TO her former political s.pre-
macy, and has nov declaced war against the
nav Confederation. We guess that Buenos
Ayres in this contest will share about the
same fate which the Austrians are now reaping
ing in Italy.
Again We see that our relations with Mexico
are assuming . very threatening aspect and
will most likely result in a declaration of war
~ tho United States against her.

A CATHOLIC PRIEST REFusEs To GIVE BURIAL
TO DEAD BoDY.--A Frenchmau named
Girot, died in San Francisco, Monday. lie
had, says LIE Phare OF that city, been sick for
some time, but his physicians did not suppose
that he was in dangerous condition. On
the day following, at noon, his body was ia.
ken to the Catholic church, at Oakland, ac.
eOmpanied by some twenty of his friends,
for the purpose of holding the burial services
over it. The officiating priest commenced
the solemn service of reciting the prayer for
the dead, when he abruptly closed his book
and inquired of the friends of the deceased
If he had received the last sacrament and
made his confession before he died. Thev
answered in the negative, and stated that
his untimely cutting off was SO unexpected
that it was impossible for him to do so. On
receiving this answer the priest exclaimed,
Put that body in the street." and perempto'
rily ordered every one present to leave the
church, which they did, the priest refusing
to Officate at the burial. The friends of de.
ceased afterwards performed the ceremony
themselves.

POPULATION OF BROWNSVILLE, TExAs-In
the course of an explanatory article on the
late events in that city, the Brownsville Flag
says that, though they have 5000 inhabitants
nominally, there are not more than $500 on
the census roll, and of these there are not
over 400 who are not of Mexican origin. In
fact, there are now but thirty four Americans
by birth, old enough to bear arms, to be
found iu the place. Now, the greater part of
these 5000 are fugtives from Mexico, pcones,
IGdrones, etc., an idle, vicious, depraved, ig-
nOrant and thievish population, known by
the generic name of pelados. 1t is this mis-
erable population, made doubly hostile by
the long continued warfare between Texas
and Mexico, and between the latter and the
United States, that is at the bottom of all the
difficulty
