(The Cantina)---Dispatch just arrived from our correspondent south of the border--
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO! WAR DECLARED !!
We are indebted to Capt. Turpin of the Pey-tona for the following memoranda taken from the manifest of the steamship Alabama, ;which arrived at New Orleans on Monday evening last, (about an hour before the Poytona's depar-ture)) in 2G hours from Galveston. Further advices will be looked for with great interest. "Off Bar of South West Pass, spoke the U. S. Steamer Col. Hartley, direct from Brasos Santiago, bound for this port. The Col. H., reports that WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED BY MEXICO AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, AND THE WHOLE OF THE MEXICAN COAST WAS NOW UNDER BLOCKADE FROM FORT JACKSON. P. S. The Col. II., will be up to the city to night."
