"I MEXICO. W* have been politely furnished by the Editors •f the Bet, who htve received paper* from the oily 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 Cruz were, the French brig La Pryrouse ami tiie Spanish brig Palriola, The subjoined translation of the instructions is. sued by the Mexican Minister of Wur is taken from the Jefersonian. Officii of War an ■ Marine, l Section of Operations. ) 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. God and Liberty ! Mexico, July 10th, 1640. GARCIA CONDE. 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. God and Liberty 1 July 10. 1845. GARCIA CONDE. Most Excellent Senor.

Most Excellent Senor : It being ncccssaty that the troops of the line should cover the frontiers of the republic, und march towards Texas to conquer that department, now usurped by the Uidled Stines, his Excellency ihe President, ad interim, bus com- mantled me to transmit you this note, to excite the zeal and patriotism uf tho Governors, that they place under arms in their respective districts, all the force which can he collected in defence uf tho laws, to ho rcudy to servo as a safeguard of their respective departments, according to thu tlecrco of Ihe 4ili of June of litis year, and the regulation of 7l!i inst. Your Excellency will communicate to the Gov. ernors this supremo resolution, and will inform them of the obligations under which the citizens um to contribute lo tho defence of their country, and to sustain rights, violated by n nation which refuses to ncknowlodge them, and obliges Mexico to main, tain them by force, which it most undoubtedly will, or fall in the struggle. Slto will not consent to give up nne half of tho territory, from tiie base four of losing the other.

We state what is known to almost every man in Georgia. They are .facts of record in the memory and experience of almost every one, and cannot be denied. Now, whose work waa all this ! Why, it rraatlx work of the DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE cf 1839! It ivas Ihe/ruit of that law, which repealed ihe provision in tho charter of tho Bark, providing that for every paper dollar issued by the Hank, there shouldk« a specie one in Its vaults. It was the fruit of that Its, against which Governor Crawford protested, and tbs evils of a hiclt he soclcarly pointed out. It waslheact of Governor McDonald’s Directors, who were nil. tained by him, while execuiing it; and the misery and distress occasioned by it will, we hope, be a warning lo the people of Georgia, FOREVER! i Let any otic reflect fur a moment upon the com#. ■ qlienees of t his one, wild, visionary, financial scheme, and •’ lie cannot help wondering how it was tolerated by the I people !

Wo need say no more.ai tiie fruit of that Legislature has been so bWtr to the people! 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.
