were'soouto pnbve towards California.
Itis the intenttobof the Government to
push the war with all. possible vigor.
The 'rnistice for eight weeks" has
been'disapproved of by the- Government,
and Major Graham t will, -in -fifteen days

Taylor acted under the impression that
tbere was a prospect of a speedy termina
tion of the war. They mitst have been
ignorant That the Mexican Government
ie d declined our overtures 'for 'immediate
negotiation.
The Gover-nment, itseems, is dissatisfied
r' with Gen. Taylor's leniency tovards the
Mexicans: They would have preferred
that he should have taken or ,iesrroyedthe
lexican army; instead of permiitting it to
escape with little loss.
I am vey glad to learn that iurihou

on any necessary supplies and refresh
-men'ts Apudia will, no doubt, retire to
'San Luis, and there the great battle of this
fmain-Perhaps of the .war, is to be
,cought. The Mexicans will concentrate at
'feast thirty thousand troops at that point.
If Taylor should-meet with a serious re
verse; which is not i:npossible, the enthusi
asm of the volunteers-the force upon
which we must ehiety depend, will rap
idly subside.
It is quite- certain that no movements
towards anaexpedtition to Tampico are yet
.apparent, Ilio-;hit i understood that the
'Cabinet advised the enterprise. The pub
1; will not be satisfied unless Tampico be
immediately taken, and a column of eight
or ten thousand men sent on from there to
join Taylor at San Luis. Should not this
be done the administration will incur the
heavy responsibility of any disaster that

From ike Washington Union.
Major jeneral Graham left Washington
this morning, in the southeiu train. with
daspatches for General Tayler. It is be
lieved that he carries out instructions for
terminating "the tetporary cessation of
hostilities."
We disagree essensially in opinion with
the "1altimore.C-li-pper" of this morning,
upon -the propriety of this movetnanl.
-Tho M'Clipper" calls it an injtdicious
movement;" thinks, that time should be
given, Ito ascirtain whether the Mexican.
governtment is inclined to peace ; besides
this force under General Taylor may not
be sufficient to progress much farther with
safety ;'' says that -it must be recollected
that the army under General Ainpudia re
mains entire; and that, if the Mexican na
-tion be thoroughly roused, our army nmay
be greatly out numbered. and suhjected to
hazard. Hut. supposig that it should
continue to achieve the victory, it tmust be
at great expense of life." It adds, that
our army has done enough to demonstrate
its .superiority over the enemy, and incline
the Mexican Government to sue for peace.
Let our forces, then, rest at Monterey for
the present, and until Mexico shall indicate
her purpose of peace, or war ; in tbe
meantime, reinforcements, &c., could be
sent on to Gen. Taylor, so that he might be
prepared to take the field at the expiration
of the armistice, should it become neces
sary. A single reverse of fortune niight
prove most disastrous to our country, and
should not be lightly hazarded."
One would have supposed that the bat
tIes of Paltn Alto and of Resaca do 'u
Palma, would have been sufficient to sue
for peace." Bdt Mexico was too blind
and vain-glortons to feel her inferiority,
even after these two memorable defeats.
She may full into the same error on the
present occasion, and it may be necessary
to give her blow after blow,-and stun her
into her senses, We have do apprehen
iion of G.en. Taylor's strength or his sue
eess. He has probably by this time, 10,
')00-troops at Monterey-for, other troops
were on the alvance td reinforce the6000
Which he carried with liits. We do not
.utate this fact unadvisedly. We are not
.afraid of any force which Atnpudia can
,bring against him. The pass between
f4ouatereianiW-Satillo is the only' impor.
-ani obstacle which lies in our way ; and
thetveuty did pieces or heavy arrillery
2ithich- ties.have wtin at Monterey, ,can
-s c Iyg besubstituted by other cannon on
ntountaimasses. Tiey cauuatcope with
as in the opei field-,for no one now doubts,
that 10.00dof our troops, the finest per
hips in the world, are sulficient,.toi defeat
ay foirce which the Muxicas may bring
'ahainst'us. Why, then, should we pause
i. or uvicorious career? Why shoald iur
forces "rest at Mlotterey for the present,'
and thtus p-ermlit the tittne of our twelve
mnthsb'' volunteers to wvaste away. in in
action ? T1he "Clipper" dloes not do~ jus
tice to the euergy arid efficieudy of tour
tops. It has too many fears of their suc
cess, which it unnecessarily says, -'should
not lbe lig~htlty hasarded." They may be
*graily. out-onumbered ;" hut we dread no
suaeriority of inmbers. Their discipline,
galantry aud skill, wyill overcome all such
position: Mexico has as yet indicated
toil slow a desire for peace. to enceourage
us in any inadtitity." We must hasten
liet movetdients-we must strike blowt for
blow. The papers have been specuha
ting upon an expedition to Tampico. We
see no good reason why it shdiuldl not tie
undertakten. We have still at least 20,0J
trooips in the army of the Rio Grande.
