W* have been politely furnished by the Editors

if Mexico, by (he Rtlampago, of at late a dato ait
the 10th ult., with the following more definite in
form* lion in relation to the proceeding* of thu
Mexican Government than ha* hitherto been pub.
lllbed.
Congress was (till in session, but up to the 10th,
war had not beun declared, nor hud an embargo
been laid upon American commerce. The Minister
of War, in a proclamation published in El Siglo, of
the lfllh, instructs tho Governors of tho several de
partments, to have in readiijess the milida under
their commands, to march lo any point deemed ud.
viaahle, in the event ot a probable (.such is tho term
used in tho proclamation) war with the United
State*. The President had also summoned to the
Capital the Extraordinary Council, consisting of
Ex-Governors of tho Departments, Ministers, etc.,
who arc the Constitutional advisers o( the Presi
dent upon extraordinary occasions. It is probable
that until this council wits assembled and its advice
givemafTairs would remain as they were, because
the President is relieved of any responsibility for
the course he inay pursue, when advised to it by
this Council, and it is to be supposed that ho would
not have the temerity to enter into u war with the
United States, until lie has relieved himself of the
respontibility of its results.
Intelligence had not been received of the ratili-
cationof annexation by tho Congress of Texas.
The only vessels of war in the harbor of Vein

Circular.—The United States have consumma
ted the perfidy against Mexico, by sanctioning the
decree which declares the annexation nf thu de
partment of Texas to that Republic. The injus.
(ice of that usurpation is apparent, sml Mexico can-
not tolerate such a grave injury without making an
effort 10 prove to the United Stales the possibility
of Iter ability to cause rights to lie respected.—
With this object, the Supreme Government ims re
solved upon a declaration of war against that potv
er, seeing that our forbearance, instead of being re
ceived as a proof of our friendly disposition, inis
been interpreted into an acknowledged impossibility
on our part to carry on a successful war.
Such an error on the part of the United States
wiil he advantageous to Mexico, because, sudden!
abandoning the pacific atlitudc.it will to-morroi
communicate lo Congress the declaration of war,
and excite the patriotism of its citizens to sustain
the dignity of the nation and the integrity of its
territory, now treacherously attacked, in utter dis
regard of all guarantees recognized in this enlight
ened age.
You will renuily appreciate the importance of
this subject, and the necessity of preparing the
troops under your command, to tnnrclt towards any
point which may require protection against these
most unjust aggressions. 1 am directed hv the
Provincial President to injoin upon you, ns General-
in-Chief of your division, and ns a citizen of this
Republic, lo hold yourself in readiness to repel
those who seek the ruin of Mexico. The Govern
ment is occupied in covering tho different points on
tho frontiers, and in collecting the necessary meni
*o that nothing may ho wanting to those whose glo
ry it will bo to defend the sacred rights of their
country.
I have the honor to communicate to your intelli
gence,and to direct your conduct.

This circular to the authorities subordinate to
this office.
Most Excellent Senor: As my notes of the 30th
of March and the 7lh of April of this year, con.
e.erning the deserters and recruits for the army,
have not produced the effects which his Excellency
the President ud interim desired, as tho Governors
have not been ahie to gather a number of n.en by
any means adequate to the wants of the army, his
Excellency has orJered your Excellency to provide
the materiel, to enuble'lhe different departments to
furnish their quota and complete tho contingent of
troops required by tho decrees of the 29llt of De
cember, 1843,and llte 2nd July 1844; for although
the supremo government has not exacted with
punctuality the complement from these departments
she now sees herself under the necessity of doing
so, for the war which she wages against the United
Stales, the perfidy and treachery of which power
has put her in possession of u part of this Republic.
His Excellency the President ad interim requires
that your Excellency inform the Governors of the
necessity which exists of detailing the number of
men, so highly necessary to fill the ranks of the
army, and to excite tho zeal and patriotism of the
authorities, llmt their preparations shall be so effect
ual, as to fulfil the desires of the Government, and
prevent the dignity of the nation from being in any
measure compromised.
I have the honor to communicate to your Excel
lency the fallowing, to he used its occasion tuny re-
quire.

the voters of Baldwin will show, in October next, is, in
their estimation, a merited one. Col. Kenan will

the march to victory will be certain.
At our mast head, therefore, do we nail, in addition
to <ii o. W. Crawforo for Governor, the names of Au.
gustus II. Kenan, for Senator, and Ivkrbon L. Har

provision in tho charter of tho Bark, providing that for

THAT LETTER!
Wo called atttention in our last, to an article of the
Savannah Republican, which wo copied into our col.
utnns, concerning that letter of acceptance which Mr.
McAllister said contained the conditions upon which
lie accepted the office of District Attorney under
John Quincy Adame: We then elated that we would
wait to hear what could be ea.d ill Ins defenre, befotl
ivc would pass judgment upon him; and
prepared, as we learn from Ihe Geoi.oias that It his
done all In reference to the elm-ge II at it intends doing,
to present the faetB lo our readem.
When Mr. Habersham resigned Ills office as Dis
trict Attorney, lie did so. declaring that lie could no!
hold it without dishonoring liimsolf. It was accepted
by Mr. McAllister, w ho, by the way, w as then charged
with being an Adams’man. But Mr. McAllister,in
1834, declared that bis acceptance was conditional; or,
lobe plain in our statement, he said lie accepted it with
a proviso that be would not attempt to thwart Georgia
ill Iter Indian and Land policy. A doubt was then ex-
pressed that any such conditions were made l-y M r -
McAllister, and it lias since been rri'i rated in vari
ous sources—for it was thought strange that Mr. Ad
ams, the Chief Executive of the United States, weald
permit any recipient of office under his administration,
to prescribe terms to him. The Letter was called for
by the Republican, repeatedly, and, at last, the Georgian
replied that It should not come at tho call. Upon thi*,
the Republican produces the following from the De
partment of Slate at Washington city, Wcproaentih
with seine of the remarks of the Editors :
“Enquiry has been made at the Department ofSti**
