Tho aicst information, however, receivcd respecting ïo Kafir ivovements would seem to indícate iat the conleniuluted attack was without foundtion. LA.TER iROM MEXICO. From the intelligence received from N. Orleans up lo the 21st uit., the declaration f war lurns out to be o hoax or a misunorstandingofthe messqge passed from the Col. Harney to the Alabama. The schconer VVm. C. Preston, Capt. Fnylor, arrived at New Orleans on the 20ih, from Metamoras.having 9ailed thence on the 30th uit. Capt. Taylor reporta that Gen. Ampubia arrivcd at Mctamoras on he 28th uit., at the houd of 3000 troops rom Montory. The whole of the Mexicati force concentratedat Metamorasissaid o be about 40D0 men-; but so fur fromicipating hostiüties, the officers in command, and nhabilunts generally are said to ïavc cntertainea the belief that the differenccs bclwcen Mexico nnd the United Siaios had been amicably adjusted. It is confidcntly asscrted ihat the Mexican General had no orders to cross the Rio Grande. Gon. Taylor rernained in his foriner position - one which effeetuully comrnandá both forrics by which the Mexicans would havo to cross fro:n Metarnoras. By the baique Clermont, Capt. Lermond, the editors of the N. O. Delta have rece i ved Mexican pnpers to the 2d, from the city of Mexico. Although the Clennont sailed írom Veru Cruz on tho 7th, tliere is in the papers nothing of local interest, not even a report of the revoluiion which was to have taken place on the ufternoon of the 2d, according to the information brought by the barque Mnndarin. Tho papers are all filled with warlike clamors of the editors, and they all say that a war could not bc long deferred now, as Mr. Slidell had been driven out, and the Mexicans, including the Presidont himself, were all disposed to fight the Americans, Parades had given a manifestó, in which he staled, that he will always defend the Republic, and shed the last drop of his blood to preserve a constitulional and Republican government in Mexico. The journals that opposed the ''.octrines of El Tiempo secm ío be qui'.e delighied with this disclosurc. Et Monito RepubUcanio, of the 2d instant, in speaking of the United States and Mecxico, and war between the two nationsjsays the departure of Mr, Slidnllj on account of his not having been received as Envoy Èxlraordinnfy and Minister Plenipotehtiary of the United States, und the manifestó of his Excellency the President, adintertm, which we publish to-day, are sufficient to authorize us to believe that the moment has arrived when the justice of the question between the two nations must be decided on the field of battle. Et Monitor Republicanio of the same date, contaihs an extract from a letter from Mazathan, of the 21st March, containing informatiou that that port was blockaded by the American vessels of war. It seems that Mr. SI dol I's demand for his pasports and his departure apptared so hostile to the Mexicans that they were making all the preparations in their power for war, which they thotrght inevitable, but which they would not begin themselves. Tho Mexican papers are filled with official orders and circulars from the Executive department for the speedy organization of the urmy and its rnarch to the frontiers of Texas. ExPKESS TÖ THE U. S.
