Mexico has not declaréd war against Ule United States; but the officia] paper, El Diario del Gobernó, of the'3d inst., annouhces thai it is in possession of certain movements on the part of the government of a warlike charocter, which it is contrained to withhóld from the public, assecrecy is the soul of military operations; but the journal adds, that it trusts that the speedy and sucoessful issue of these operations will soon relieve the public curiosity in regard to them. The papers of the capital and of Vera Cruz are occupied almost exclusively with the subject of annexation. There are not wanting those who insist that there is no alternative left to Mexico to preserve untarnished her honor but war. The writers take the distinction that though, Trom the necessity of the case, the acknowledgment of the independence of Texas might not be incompatible with national lïonor, the annexation (agregación) of that department to a foreign country is a flagrant outrage. On the 3d inst., Señor Cuevas, the Minister of Foreign Afiairs, addressed to he Chambers a long and general memorial appertaining to bis Department. We mve not seen it, but it is represenled as a cautious and guarded exposition of the opics upon which it touches; but by the iberal papers it is deemod enürely too ame and pnpific in its tone, although he argües that annexation should inevitably bring on a war. He places strong apparent confidence in the interference of European powers, which, although assenting o Texas independence, may, he trusts, oppose the further enlargement of United States territory. The more high-spirited editors rebuke him for these sentiments, and insist that no people can maintain an lonorable, distinct national existence when relyingupon foreign powers for its irotection.
