tion of resisting to the utmost.
Lord George Bentick, now the acknowledged

INTENTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The New York Albion says the Union, invoke*
all the friends of peace to pxert their best efforts
for its preservation. It thinks the danger immi
nent. We sympathize in our wishes with tin
Albion. We, too, deprecate any war between
Great Britain and the United States, and we in
▼oke as sincerely as it does the blessings of pear
between the two nations. But why does it indulg
any fears at this momeni ? Why suppose tha .
the call for fifty thousand volunteers points to ;•
war with England ? We mean to conduct tin
war against Mexico with all tho vigor in ou
power. We may want twenty five thousand
volunteers, or even more, to strike such a blow' a •
may compel her to make peace. IVe shall in
vade her territory; we shall seize her strong
holds; we shall take even her caimtae, i,
there be no other means of bringing her to "i
sense of justice. We may want fifty thousand
volunteers, not against England, but for the Mexi
can war. Why need the Albion, then, attribute
our military energy to any covert design of wa
ging a war against England ?

This water, which has been for several veara

tation throughout the United States, and is now
very generally used, and its virtues extolled as a

chronic rheumatism, gout, dropsy, in affections ol
the, breast occasioned by disease of the stomach or
liver, neuralgia, and nervous diseases in general ;

CHALYBEATE MINERAL WATER, an active
and lasting Tonic. A general view of the analy
sis of this water, will show that it stanf* the first in
rank of the highly concentrated “ Chalybeate.*,”_
consequently it acts as a Tonic, increasing-’the
strength of the system, raising the force of circu

menting the muscular vigour,'and promoting tli«

rI'AXES.—Those persons In arrears for TAX*
JL ES. up to the. present date, will pleaso remem
ber that the time has long since parsed that they
should have been settled. The subscriber, under
present circuri stances, can give no further indul
gence, (unless he can advance the amount now
flue, or uncollected, which he is unable to do, were
he w illing,) I must compel ALL to *ettle on the fir»t
('nil, or levy in every instance, without regard to
persons. The interest on the amount uncollected
would consume, the whole of the subscriber’* pay,
for the past year were it to remain uncollected much
longer; therefore I wish this notice to apply to all.
The subscriber will also inform those who pay
Taxes in Portsmouth that he has been appointed
the Collector for the present year, and inconse
quence of the opposition he met with, from a few
of the drones of Portsmouth ; who not only applied
for Ids situation, but actually tried to undermine
him, which compelled him to take it under circum •
stances which will allow him to indulge no persona
whatever, consequently, ho deems it his duty to
say, that the first of July is (he longest indulgence
that can be given ; and hopes, under existing cir
cumstances, that no offence will bo taken at ths
course which necessity compels him to pursue.
