We have no farther intelligence from Mexico
New Orleans, or any other quarter, on which we
can form decided opinion as to the Issue of the
affair between Mexico and the United States
Symptoms, however, are presenting themselves in
al directions, of some meditated blow on the part
of Mexico.


The only important intelligence we received by
the mail last evening that the department of Yu-
catan had refused to accede to the requisiton OF
the Central Government of Mexico asking for a

them is TO assail our commerce the Atlantic and
Pacific, and there is every ground TO believe that
the very moment they declare war, that system Of
depreciation on the high seas will commence =
The thunder and the lightning will come at the same
instant. This is our view of the NATTER and we
have nothing yet in the slightest degree TO coun-
teract Interpretation of the present signs OF The
