Mexican Indemnity.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says, that our government will not send a special agent to Mexico to demand payment of the indemnity, which, according to treaty stipulations, she owes, and has promised to pay us. He says that it is now the prevailing opinion that in the annual message which Mr. Polk will transmit to congress, he will advise a more prompt and efficient mode of compelling the Mexican government to pay us what she owes us. This mode, the correspondent of the Mercury surmises, will be the same which the French adopted when they bombarded Vera Cruz. As all diplomatic relations have ceased between the two governments, and as these relations have been broken by Mexico herself, we do not see any other way in which we could procure the adjustment of our claims against that country.
