By the arrival of the barque Clermont, we have
received advces from Vera Cruz to the 9Th instant,
and from the city Of Mexico to the 3lst ult. The
absolute amount of news contained in these Jour.
nails is small. The Mexicans appear to consider
Mr.. Slide's demand of his passports a cas,s beli,
and we're making all possible preparations for hos
tilities which were deemed inevitable. The papers
contain number Of official decrees signed by the
Minister of War, calling upon the army to do its
duty, and filled with the usual grandiloquent phrases
that constitute the staple Of Mexican dispatches.


From the tone Of the following circular, it would
appear that desertions were becoming frequent in
the Mexican camp:


"His exceency the President has ordained tina,
in no event must the demands for furloughs be Ia
ken into consideration, made by officers or COM
manders of the army now its way to Texas.
None Of these must be allowed to abandon their flag
Such requests would be regarded by the supreme
government as unworthy and dishonorable, contra
ry to delicacy and to the duties imposed by the
country in the difficult conuncture in which she is
now placed"


Despite all this fanfaronade--ths beicose tone
and show Of courage-we have our doubts whether
the Mexicans will not content themselves with
manGuvrng about the right bank OF the Rio Grande,
without making an attempt TO cross that boundary,
and realize their boast Of "reconquering Texas. "
Until they commit some such overt act, we are at
loss TO conceive how a direct collision is to take
place, especially it, as it is said, Gen. Taylor's
ders prohibit him from doing more than repellng in
yason. But nous uerrons.-.N o. Bee.
