WASHINGTON, August TO- ls45.


War! War!


rumor came into town, via Baltimore, this
morning. that Mexico had declared, formally declar-
ed, war against the United States and predicated
upon this rumor it is said that the President, Mr..
Mason, Mr. Bancroft and the Secretary of War. Mr.
Marcy were in consultation to-day upon the insruc
tons, called for in this alternative, to our forces in
Texas on land and sea- We think there is some
basis for this rumor from the fact that although the
President and the Cabinet were invited to the ded-
cation Of new Methodist church in this city this
morning, none of them were present To use the
language of Mr. Webster, "there are no Sabbaths in
revolutionary times" The Great Britain may vet
have the report, in extra Herad to bear to Eng
land, of the defeat by the United States infantry lst
1000 taken prisoners, including Arista himself. II
the faggot of war once lighted there is no telling
where the conaagation may cease.
