BR1rrsn ArrA1Rs.-The following are


| the rumors Of war:
Natchez, MAY 26.-We have beeh re-
quested to issue a Bulletin of the impor-
tant news which reached our city yesier-
day evening. This has been deemed
necessary, 10 order to give i immediate
aud extended circulation
The first report was from Capt. L NJ
ford to the Confederate army, who left
Brookhaven day before yesterday
lie there read and saw late number
OF the New Orleans Picayu7e, which con-
tanned an order Of the Provost Marshal of
that city, requiring 10 behalf Of the United
States, and by direction of Major-G eneral
Banks, that all British subjects should
leave that city BY the 18th Of june next.
The British Consul had already left
New Orleans, and the British people were
preparing to depart.
We have 10 doubt of the correctness of
tile above, as the captain read the order
10 the print Of the Picayune newspaper;
which order, itself, is tantamouut to an adj
mission Of a declaration Of war, and open
hostilities between the United States and
Great Britain
Later 10 the evening we conversed with
an intelligent and brave Missouri soldier,
who left jackson Friday last, and who
cave Us further and more explicit intelli-
gencc il regard to the approaching clash
| Of arms between the United States aud
England.
