WASHINGTON, Friday, Aug q, lsB.


The case Of VIM. Rufus Elliott has been closed in
the argument before the court, and it rests with
the two Justices constituting the court to render in
their decision. Justice Morsel stated, on the ad-
journment this evening, that decision might be ex-
pected tomorrow at IL o'clock. We think Elliott
will be admitted to ball. he should be but from
the fact that of theJustcess consistent church
member, and opposed to the taking OF human life
upon almost any terms, the sum demanded for the
appearance of the prisoner at the criminal session
in December next, will be heavy.


The closing appeal OF Mr. Hoban for the prosecu-
ton was as strong case on that side as could be
well made OUT but the arguments of Gen. Jones and
Mr.. Fenda in favor Of the prisoner, in their minute
sitting of all the testimony could not be rebutted


Speaking o. war WIN lo Mvxco; vrs you w have re-
change Of tactics by the Mexicans, to wit: vgo-
rous onslaught upon Texas, without q declaration.
Yet we hear this evenings and that opinion Is worth
something, that is the deliberate opinion of Sir
Richard Pakenham, that there is no event in futu-
rty more certain than declaration OF war against
the United States by Mexico We think it altogeth-
er depends upon the fifteen millions; and this she
may borrow by pledglng her churches and her mines
to John Bull, because then, in the event Of refusal
to pay when the time comes, old Joh ohn can wrench
the Mexicanas out Of her, you know,


There Is sort OF levee al the White House this
evening, and great many new office-holders will
be there, and some won't, because their very ap-
pearance would be against them. We have some
very ordinary men in the public departments, men
whom you would discharge from your packing
room, ,holdng places of twelve hundred and thous-
and per year-the mere hostages extorted by men,
bers of Congress, OF the Administration, as fair
and valuable consideration and security for their
deity to the Executive Government Positively,
we shall have to take hold of some of these custo
mers in propria persona, by and by.


The night is excessively calorifc. Generally, it il
cool after rain but in this case it was cool before
the rain; and after several days, it winds up hot
as bazes.
