Alluding to the passage through that city tf three Government messengers to Mexico the baltimoro Clipper says. This looks as though our Government anticipated a rupture with Mexico, which is rendered very probable by the latest infor rnation from that country. Tho tone nssu hied by the Mexican authorities has recent ly become very warlike and threatening, to which they may have been instigated by other powers" No matter. Wo stand ready to repel by force, whether Mexico come single handed or aided by others. If she court's war with the United States, she will have it to her hcait's content If she bo assisted by a European power, it is not difficult to foresee that the war will embrace all the considerable powers of Europe, some of whom are only availing an excuse to strike at each other. If any power has been so foolish as to calculate on finding us weak from internal divisions, it will discover its mistake for, however we may differ about local mat ters there will be perfect unanimity in repel ling foreign aggressions, and in maintaining the honor of the country. Ii Mexico has dared to declare war against us on the grounds assumed in tho note of Mr. Bocanegra, and has to stand the result sicglo handed, she will not soon bo in s condition to offer a like insulf She is only precipitating a fate which would be inevita ble in lime.

"A protended American slave-trader arrived with n cargo of COO negroes, all of whom he quickly disposoj (if; but in about three weeks afterwards the wholo of theso new slaves disappeared in one night and wcro never seen agon. It was afterwords recollected, that on tbo morning following tlier evaslon, tho American sailed for Jamaica, with COO European passengers.

A chemist also deposed that he had furnished tho American captain with a largo quantity of nitrate uf Bilvcr. llcnco it is confidently inferred, that tho pretended negroes were no other than so many vagabonds of all coun tries collected in tho American ports, who. lent themselves to this now specicB of fraud.
