DECLARATION OF WAR BY MEXICO!

 The schooner Relampago, which recently arrived at the Bali1e from Vera Cruz up the city on Tuesday evening. Onr previous accounts by this vessel were very limited, based as they were upon verbal statements, aud short extract from one of the few letters which reached the city in company wIth the despalches for the State Department Ii was noi until late hour yesterday that we received the letter, an extract from which follows, containing the official communications, translation of which is subloined. The letter s from friend and corres- pondent in Vera Cruz, and enclosed the communion tions, which are from the Minister of War and Marine of Mexico. Ii appears by these. that the previous intImatOns Of the intention Of Mexico to declare war against this country have assumed Il positive and deerminate shape No simple act of non. intercourse it apLeaTs vi give sufficient vent the pent-up indIgaton of our Mexican neighhors. Nothing short of d war-a war of invasion loo- that cuntenplates among the least of ts rumphs inc re. conquest of Texas-wlll appease their beilIgerent feelings and heal their wourded honor. Well, if it is to be- must prepare ourselves Tor the struggle

 We hope by this time that our fleet is in the Gull we know that our little army isat itS port. The Water Witch which may be looked for every day, will bring us full particulars.

 We have reason to believe that the despatch 10 the Department of State al Washington, brought by the ReiAmpago communicated the fact of war having been declared by the Mexican Government. In il still closer view of X war with Mexico, we take occasion 10 repeat what we said the other day, as the course which should be pursued m such an event. If we are to be embrolled in a conflict with Mexico, we hope that the scale upon which the contest will be prosecuted by will bear rela. ton to the power and dignity of this nation. Let the assertion of our mi ght well aS Of our right be so complete that among lle other Iesns of bril- liant coupaign no yestge of European influence will remain in Mexico to templ her into repetition of the f,tuity of going tn war with us.

 The following is the letter and documents referred to:-
