By our quotation , in another column, it will be
seen that a ,light decline ha taken.place in cotton
at New Orleans, though this result baa not been
product by apy unfavorable news from Europe, but
tenuis#) simply from the fact that prices had oÍK-
vancedfoa scale not justified by ,be European mar-
ket, and, as a necessary consequence,''receded • to the
prope^el, when people had had time to take a clear
iVtyt ^matters, Although the stock of cotton on
handjbtb m Europe and the Northern market of
thé'WBifttis, may equal or exceed that of last year,
yet tjjéstock of manufactured goods in those'ma,-
Jears,np cpmparisou with that of that lime—
in fact the te is now almost a perfect destitution where

concur in placing the'erop at a very iow fig-
ure received a letter by the New York; from
an.«tensive cotton growing region of Mississippi,

' condition.
Information Was received by the Ngw Yol-k-' via
New Orleaus, from .^r commissionors in Mexicoj up
to the 12th December. : They had been cqmpelled to
suspend negociaiions, on account of the.illness of.onp
of the Mexican commissio^era, but were by no meaws
discouraged us to the object of their missipn^ and an-
ticipated favorable results. This information contra-
dicts thé "rumors'" which llave been circulated from
other sources. In fact, it needed no seer to discover
that these reports had thtir origin in the very lauda-
ble desiie to induce Congress to sustain a proper mil-
itary foice 6u< the Southwestern frontier, for the sup-
pression of marauders on both sirfes ttf the line, and
to preserve order and tranquility. Such a foi ce wóüld
be necessary in case of a per :ept, peace with México,
and is'doubly so as long o there is the leasttyucer-
%iiily about our relation . The greatest security for
peace, is in being ¿prepared foi' its opposite. It is
unfoilunate, however, that it sliiouídpe^efl'mej $£-
cessary to start or exaggerate unfavorable ,repot is. in
order to secure an object so laudable and proper.

the pound. This size will easily kill bufialo, but a

at least 140 lbs. bacon, 150 lbs. flour, 10 lbs. salt,

held in párt jy English settlers and militaiy posts,

have before tlem by a removal to Texas.
Maj. Hahrii sets down the shortest time of the
