MR.. CUSHING ON THE WAR PROSPECT.


Our late Minister TO China has written con.
iectural letter concerning the state of our MexI.
can relations to Il gentleman in \ew York, which
appears in the Journal of Commerce. viz.


WASHINGTON. March 10Th, lsI5.


DEAR SIR:-Your inquiry, induced by tho ap.

If Mexico ever had any cause Of quarrel with us
in the cnse, it was for the original recognition Of
Texan independence-whichh has been done by
other powers.


conetuds from all this, ,ha. Mexico has no
