The panic-makers, are trying to make the people believe we are to have two wars on our hands forthwith - one with England about Oregon, and the other with Mexico about Texas. As to the first, we cannot well go to war with Eng land at present about Oregon because we are bound by treaty to give her twelve months notice toget out of that country, and no notice has y et been given. The Boston Atlas says that "war with Mexico is imminent," because an act hae posscd the Mexican Congress making it high treason for any person to propose the recognition of Texas, or the peaceable possession of that country by the United States; and all diplomatic relations with us have been broken offby the Mexican Government; and a communication to our minister, Mr. Shannon, informs him that Mexico can "maintain no friendship with a Republic which has violated her obligations, usurped a portion of territory which belongs to Mexico, by a right which she will maintain at what ever hazard." The probability is, however, that hostilities, if they take place at all, will be delayed till the Annexation.question shall have been determined by the action of Texas on the question submitted to her. ff?" The pauper tax of the State of New York amounts to 60,000. The number of paupers, as reported by the Becretary of Stale, is 26,114, of which 14,435, or alittle more than one half, are natives of the United States, 7,279, or a little more than a quarter, are natives of Ireland, 1,579 are from England, and the remainder from other nations. - The number of colored paupers is 510: the whole colored population of the State is 50,027, being one in 98. The whole white population of the State is 2,378,790, which, divided by 25,604, the number of white paupers, gives one to every 93 white persons - the proportionof paupers between the blacks and whites being about the same. Considering the disabilities under which the colored people live, this result is rather creditable to them than otherwise. In the whole State, one person in 93 is a pauper. L7 Rumorsofan Extra Session of Congress have been put in circulnlion by that portion of the press which is anxious for war. No credit what ver should be given Lhem.
