MEXICO AND WAR.
Much speculation as to thc probable eonrse
ofMexico, when she bcars oflbe votc in iho
Teian Cougress. The Journal of Com
mcrce notices i rcmark of its own correspon
dent. says:
We see ibal the Washington ncwspapera
and our own correspondent ihere, give it as
theopioioo nfGov. Shannon. tha: Mexico
will declare war against ihe Uniled Stales in
case ofanncxalinn: We do not think ihu is
quitc lhe right vicw of what the lalc embas
sador states, and ihe inaccuracy iuvolves him
to much iu an opiuinn which ibe country is
bcginning toseeisquite erroueous. We had
a free couversalion wiih Mr. Shannon befure
he lcft ine city for Washington. What he
s.iid to us was, that in case of annexalion.
Mexfco would probaly adopt somc liostile
mcasures, perhaps sbut ber nurt anainsi
Americau vcssels, perliaps order American
merchants to quit her terrnorv, and perhaps
issuc letiersofmarque But hrsaid iheMcx-
ican government cnlerlaiucd ni thougbl of

should adopt any measure eudangcring har-
inony, U would be witll thc cxpeclalion llj.it
tliespcedy inteiventinu of Great Britain aud
France forih: prcsen-alion of pcace, would
picvcut any aciual fighting."
IJc stated, loo. that no admmutration in
Mexico would desitr lo make a hostileinove-
ineni against thc United States; for all intel-
ligent men ihere kncw perfeclly wrll. ihai
Mexico conld have no hope ol jucccss in
such a controvery ; but, that so univeral
was llie chargrinof Mcticans at their defeat
Texas, so slrong the lialrcd ofthe United
Slates for iheirsympalhy tviih Tcxas.and so
great thc bonstin- about thc viiidic.ition of
lhe naiinnal honnr, that all adiniiiislr.-,lion
and pnliiicians ivere rmnpcllcd to join ij lhe
geucral clamor, and that the present not be-

hope lo kcep its place wiiliont dning some
thing ubicli wnuld. at Irast. during llie first
paroxysmofdijmembermeui, provide occuna-
lion for the army.
J his correspondcut of thc Journal, whose
satemeuts, by ihe way. have been rathcr
apocryphal on lhe subject of our foreign rc-
auuns, goes on in say :
