1tr. EdN0r.-The most news have to communi
cate to-day is the quasi-declaration Of against
the Southern Confederacy by the Republic of Mex
leo. 1t is directly notified to US through the State
paper at Guanajuatc, that Mr. Corwin had asked
and received from the Mexican Government the
privilege of passing troops through Mexico for the
subiugation Of the South. That is the language of
the Guanajuato paper, and you can determine the
meaning of it as well as can myself. Old Abe has
full permission to march troops through Mexico to
attack Texas.
1t is considered somewhat doubtful with the Mex
lean authorities and the people generally, that the
above paragraph is correct; but l must confess
that place every reliance in its truth. The per-
mission thus obtained, of marching troops through
Mexico to our attack, was part of Gen. Scott's
programme it part Of Mr.. Corwin's mission !;
it was great diplomatic movement
1t is to be presumed that Mr. Corwin presented
all the advantages which were to result, and prom
ised many benefits to Mexico if the South was sub
dued, and its warlike spirit crushed out by the
Yankees. 1t is to be presumed that he enlisted the
Abolition nlgger-OVing sentiment of the MeXicans
in behalf of the North, which promised freedom
and equality to all mankind. 1t is to be presumed
that he promised them many advances and indem-
mites of money for benefits conferred and injuries
unrepaired.
With all these premises and policies, and with all
the ignorance of the Mexican people as to the
the rulers at the city OF Mexico, who hate your
people as they do the devil, should take this step,
which is actually quasi declaration of war against
YOU. They at once declare their sympathy and
cooperation with the North against the South; and
while the permission which Mexico has granted is
altogether worthless, for no Federal forces will
ever march through this country, it has the moral
and political effect of placing the Confederate
States in a position of hostility with Mexico, un-
less the South has lost her set-respect. You can
do nothing less than take steps to make Mexico
retract this permission, or her consuis should be
dismissed at once, and a strong military force
should at once be sent to occupy the Mexican
States on the Rio Grande, security for her
peaceful conduct against these frontiers.
In connection with the above report, it is gene
rally believed among the Americans in Browns
vile that certain United States officers have
recently been in this city. i'll a very private way.
If such was the fact, have not seen them. They
| might have baen here for months, concealed, and
l still might not have seen them
The news from the interior of Mexico is not of
any special note.
Gen. Echavarra has been arrested in Jalisco for
conspiring against the Government
Many Catholic priests have been driven out OF
the country, and have gone to San Francisco, Cal.
The Liberal party is much exercised at the in
gertrude which seem to prevail IN the once active
and powerful State of Iacatecas. It is thought
that the padres gaining the upper hand in that
locality.
1t is said that Gen. Uraga is to be appointed
Minister Of War.
Gen. Vale, fine officer, who lately pursued and
gave battle to Marquee beaten and taken prls-
Ouer. Marquee offered him his life for $20,006,
when Gen Vale replied by splitting in the face of
his victorious captor He was shot Immediately
In Nuevo Loen, Gov. Vidaurri still preserves the
peace. He is at present absent from Monterey or
a tour through the State. 1t is denied that Gen
Comonfort has yet crossed the Rio Grande into
Mexico.
In Matamoras, we have Just had an election fol
| Governor of the State Of Tamaulipas. 1t is
| thought that Lerua is elected this time certain.
| The authorities here are much afraid of some
| danger which l cannot perceive any sign Of, tina
| they have suspended all individual guarantees
which is something like suspending the writ of ha
| beas corpus and declaring martial law with you.
