Utrt tTii s fever for fight, &c, is not confuted to
New Orleans. The St. Louis New Era says that
a considerable number of respectable and relia
ble men ore very ready and willing to engage in
an immediate expedition against Santa Fe, pro
vided they shall be called on to do bo by the pro
per autlwrity. The rdrtw adds -.
"Tharcaie in this city, and in other places in
this State, many respectable citizens who are de
sirous of leading or participating in such a cam
paign as officers, and many others willing to fill
the ranks as soldiers. We understand that preli
minary informal arrangements have been made
to organize a. volunteer militia regiment at this
place, to consist of from 300 to 000 men, and to
be raised with a view to march-off in a very short
lime, andengsge in an active campaign; to submit
to strict military discipline, and to enter on the
service, so as to leave the frontiers in October
ami strike a blow at Santa Fe early in December.
It is said that Major Pogy and a considerable
number of the officers and privates mi the militia
regiment are willing t encage in tbe measure,
and that o'her persons in other companies would
aNn join a war regiment to be tbus raised, and
that intimations have been received from .other
places in the State of willingness to co operate in
th? campaign."
The Washington Union received on Thursday
says :
"The last arrival from Aransas, brongbt no
communications from our camp to Washington.
Transports were arriving with fresh troops to re
inforce General Taylor and bis 'army of observa
tions' though the shaliows cf tbe shores fre
quently obstructed their prompt arrival and im
mediate landing. Before this period, however,
the General inu-t have un army of more than two
thousand gallant men, exclusive of the dragoons
which were marching under Col. Twiggs to San
Antonio or the Alamo. A little longei time, and
General Taylor will be able ti muster more than
five thousand picked regulars without saying a
word of the volunteers of Texas or of Louisiana,
which he is authorized, if necessary, to call under
the wing of his eagle. With arms and amnnition,
and with provisions sufficient to support them,
there is reason to believe that they will be able
to cope with, and to conquer any force w hich the
Mexicans may attempt to throw on this side the
Rio Bravo. Their trotips, too, will be compel
led to march through a country which lias no
means to subsist them ; and the transportation of
their own provisions, if they are able to obtain
them at all, will encumber their progress, and
delay their arrival at their point of destination.
One of the best and highest officers in the ser
vice has expressed the opinion, that two thou
sane United States soldiers under Generals Tay

any number of Mexican troops who may threat
en to cross the river, for six months. In this
calculation he may Msibly be mistaken, and it
becomes the duty of our government to iirovide

War between this country and the United
States is now inevitable.
July 30 It is generally thought that this coun
try will yet have to declare war against the Uni
ted States.
Aug. S Our latest dates fioni Mexico are to
the 30th ult. The Mexican troops are ordered
to proceed for the north, nnd to take tip a posi
tion ten leagues in advance of the Uio Pravo. So
we might shortly expeet to hear of hostilities ha
ving commenced in that part.

Our political relations with your country, I
n-gret to say. are nssiiminz an nnplea-ant aspect,
and the cry for war is universal It has not been
formally declared, owing. I believe, to the soliei-
tations of the I rrnch nnd I.pplish ministers,
who are desirous, if possible, of uveiting so dire
a calamity.
Prr.nn, July 20.
Though the declaration of war of this country,
against the United States, is already published
in the newspapers we trouble you with a small
order for goods, because we believe firmly that
war in reality will never be made ; this country
being in want of every thing necessary for it actually.

CT7" Tiik Col ty Convention The Demo-
place, on Monday last. 'Hie Couit House, on
the ringing of the bell, was soon crowded. It I
was soon evident that there were some among !
th" delegates fiom the Forks w ho were drtermi- J
ned fo accomplish certain measures, or withdraw
fiom the convention. The delegates from Nor
thumberland were not w illing that the delegates
should vote their instructions, and unless the con
vention conceded to them certain offices, they
threatened to withdraw. The democratic dele
gates from this side, and the delegates from De
laware, not bcl.cvirig in that kind of Democracy
which called upon them to violate instructions
received from the people at their primary meet
ings, refused todisoht-y their instructions; wheie
npon 12 of the :i." de'egrttes withdrew. The con
vention then proceeded to nominate candidates
for the different oTiees, as will be found in the
proceedings published in another column. We
regret the withdrawal of the 12 delegates. The
delegates on this side, after having obeyed their
instructions, would have accorded to them a
share of ollires. In their cooler moments, we
thii.k they will see the impropriety of the course
they pursued
