The waragainst Mexico bids tair to be only another Florida War - or rather no war at all. Our troops have forlified f themselves in a camp, and according to the papers, they are enjoying themselves on the best the land affords. The j can army is now said to be smail and wretchedly paid and equipped, and J willing to march against Texas without , receiving their arrears of pay. The ger of outbreaks and insurreclions at home is constant and unremitting. Mexico has laid claim to Texas for many years, and yet she has not done the first thing in seven years towards reducing her revolted province, whjle her Spanish pride is soothed Dy still holding on to her claim. Judgiiig from the past, we might reasonably infer that she will insisi upon her right to Texas for seven or eight years more, without doing any thing to realize it. In this way her honor can be preserved at a cheap rate, and the Mexicans can feel that if they have not had spirit enough to vindícate their rights, they have not been so debased as to relinquish them.
