Correspondence Of the New Orleans Crescent
MATANoRAs, August 8, 1861.
The most in ortant news have to communi-
cate to-day is the quasi declaration Of war q.
gainst the Southern Confederacy by the Repub-
lie of Mexico. It is directly notified to Us thro'
the State paper at Guanajuato, that Mr.. Corwin
had asked and received from the Mexican Gov
ernnent the privilege Of passing troops through
Mexico for the subjugation of the South That
is the language of this GuaEajuato paper, and
you can determine the meaning Of ii az well as
can myself. Old Abe has full permission to
march troops through Mexico to attack Texas.
. 1t is considered Somewhat doubtful with the
Mexican authorities, and the people generally
that the above paragraph is corrict; but must
confess that place every reliance in its truth
The permission thus obtained, of marching to
our attack, was part of General SCOTS pro.
gramme !; It was a part of Nj. Corwin's mission;
it was great diplomatic movement.
While the permission which Mexico has grant
ed is altogether worthless for no federal forces
will eyer march through this country-it has
the moral and political effect of placing the
Confederate States in position of hostility with
Mexico, unless the South has lost her self re-
speet. You can do nothing less than take steps
to make Mexico retract this permission, or her
consuls should be dismissed at once, and strong
military force should at once be sent to occupy
the Mexican States on the Rio Grapds "a o Sc
curity for her peaceful conduct against these
frontiers 3- N - 80 a0tf...
