According 10 the Journal Of Commerce, Gov.
crnor Shannon is not of opinion that Mexico will
declare war against the United States but she


will adopt some hostile measures. perhaps shut


Ter ports against American vessels, perhaps or.


der American merchants to quit her territory.
and perhaps issue letters Of marque. The Govern.
or said, in q conversation, that the Mexican gov.
ernment entertained no thought Of really fighting
the U. Sand if she should adopt any measure
epdangoring harmony. it would be with the ex.
pectaion that the speedy intervention Of Great,
Briiah end France :os ...c preservation Of


would prevent any actual fighting. He stated,
too, that no administration in Mexico won d dc.
sire to make hostile movement against the Unit.
ed Slatcs; for all intelligent men there knew per.
f,ctiy we'll. that Mexico could have no hope of
success in such controversy; but that 30 uni.
versal was the chagrin of tho Mexcans in their
defeats in Texas, so strong the hatred of the Unit.
ed States for their sympathy with Texas, and so
greh. the boas!inG about the vndcalion of inc
national honor, that all administrations and poI.
licIans were compelled TO join in the general clam.
or. and that the pr sent not being a military ad.
mnstrHiion, could hardly hope 10 keep its place
without dong something which would, at least,
during the first paroxysms Of disrnembcrment,
provide occupation Tor The army.


A correspondent of the Journnl says that Mr.
Shannon fully confirms the truth of what has
been strongly surmised before. that the British
government b. d got some hold upon the Califor.
MAS. She has taken n mortgage upon them to
secure the payment to her subjects of debts to The
amount of iwenty.sIx millions of dollars. He
adds:


"Our Government has. | Iearn official know.
edge Of this transaction. That Great Britain will
foreclose the mortgages, in due time, have not
the least doubt The fine bays and harbors of
