 The Washington correspondent of the Charleston CouriGr, writes as follows.
 WAsnlSeTos, !ScPtember 2S.
 The cabinet have held several consulh- lions on the subject of the Mexican war, and have determined to prosecute II with ln- creased energy and vigor, and in masnes less profitable ard convenient to the Mexi. cans.
 The reference of lhe offer of the United States for renewed uegociaiion, made on the 27lh August; is to be referred, t seems, by the Mexican government to the constituent Congress, which IS to assemble on the 9th of December. This Congress is, il seems, to be an independent body, composed oi different parties, is to be free from Executive influence, and IS 10 organize ihe government anew. Ii Is not 10 be supposed tiiat they will commence their labors by asseniing to the aberaiion O. very large portion of 'heiI territory.

 The latter course has been determined upoa by the administration.

Gen. Taylor IS to continue his march from Sall,llo to San Lu's de polosi, where he is to be reinforced aud supplied by an expedition to be sent to hn aid from Tampicc; and he is then to lDafel twenty thousand strong to the Capitol O Mexico. This, IS learn, is tue Progfaam' of the fall and winter campaign.
