MEXICO AND ITS TRADE.-The late accounts from ezico seem to put al rest the fears of war 10 a great extent. It would appear that much of the war fever IS manufactured by officials for "Bun- combe." Hostile public documents have appeared, but the Mexican Consul at New Orleans only has been recalled. In all other ports the commercial a. gents remain. New Orleans is nearest to Mexico, and the recall of the Consu may, the Mexicans, appear be an act of uncommon vigor in their ex. ecutives who have also talked valorousy on paper. They have also gone the length of advising decla- ration of r,providing hey borrow 900 900 at per cent. Mexican per cent bonds sell in London at 35 per cent, who will take 6 per cent. with such prospect? Voluntary borrowing IS out of the question; forced loan will iallupon lhe mem bers of Congress and their constituents, thing they are not likely to vote for readily. To declare war only condition ot borrowing $15 900 900. is to announce peace, although the Mexican populace may consider It very desperate conduct. In short noth- ing has been done which really looks like desire for war. The ruInored movement of 1O,OO0 troops cannot he true. The new President comes in Sept. lst, and al least until then decisive steps will be taken by the provisional government. Apart from the shedding of blood, II Is oi no manner Of c0nse- quence what she does. The trade between the two countries has dwindled down to mere point and IS of no moment.

 Under our commercial head to-day will he found some details of the business between the two tries for the last fifteen years. The exports to Mex Ico, as to the West Indies and South America gem 

 goods, imported here are entitled 10 debenlure and twelve months bonds given for the duties. Under

 this latter provision, which was nearly equivalent to warehouseng, large quantities ol foreign goods were always hand o make up assorted cargoes for tra- ding voyages, The consequence was tlrat the United States did the carrying trade 10 greater less tent for the whole of the American continent The requirement of cash duties and other restrictions soon destroyed the re-exPort Of foreign goods, and with the cessation of that business the export o tO-

 nla declined In 1884 there were exported $lO,O ,O0O, ,OO0 Of foreign goods to Mexico and some other Southern countries; in lS44, the same counirles took but

 In excluding foreign cottons from our ports, the effect was to lose sale Of Sl TT Of goods for our own manufacturers. Instead oi $S,o5S,o3o Of cotton goods sent from the United States 10 Mexico in 1884, there was only sIO0,0OO sent m iS4l, but there was sent $552 900 worth of raw cotton to sup ply the Mexican manufactures that have sprung up in the meantime It IS seli-evIdent that these man. ufactores must cease to be m case of war. The same features to exports are apparent m our trade with all the southern ports. The sales of manuiac- ,ured goods have passed altogether into the hands of EuroI can vessels, and our own exclusive policy has driven il there. We have, in compensation for this loss, exported few more cotons to China; but the result is, decrease in the whole quantity exported since 1884 That is the value of cottons exported in 1S44 was less than in 1854 I

 The warehouses of England contain at all seasons of the year ample assoriments of the goods Of all countries, free of all charges, and assorted cargos can be made up all parts of the American conti- nent on terms which defy compettion Among such assortments.
