The w ar,

The newspapers In all parts of the coun-
try are filled with speculations on the
Mexican war; and, indeed, in this dull
season, it is about the only subject to oc-
cupy their attention. We hate to be SIN
gular, and shall, therefore, follow their eS
ample by putting forth some cruoe 'ueaS Vi
our own. =, q
The campaipn has lasted from the I'd OF
Nav when hostlties were first commenc-
ed. to the present time, a period OF hVe
months: and the first inquiry which natu-
raIlv snrgests is, What has been doneY
. Nu1hI Mach more than could have been
reasonably expected. We began the bat
tie with fragment of an army; we have
now thirty thousand troops in the held
To raise such an army without resort 10
drauohts or CONSUMPTION, is what no other
nation on the earth, after thirty years
peace, could have done in the same time.
BY this alone the country has demonstrate
ed the falsehood of those assertions, that 1t
could never carry on war, for 1t could
never raise an army! delusion under
which our transatlantic friends have long
labored, and which had no trifing effect
upon the course of their policy. This
fact alone, aside from our relations with
Mexico, has been of incalculable service
TO the republic in impresslng upon other
powers a proper idea of our real strength
But, besides this, we have IN the opera
tons of the war performed all that reason
able men could expect, and more we fee
assured than many pretended patriots de
sired. Commodore Sloat has taken pos
session of and annexed California with
out the loss of man. General kearne.
improving upon the system, has not only
annexed New Mexico, but has IN a very
summary manner naturallzed It's citizens
Nv swearing them son the house-tops' Il
support and defend the constitution an
laws of the United States, and by ap
pointing himself the Governor Of the De'
TERRITORY Gen. Wool we SUP
pose, has ere this reached Monclova, an
'annexed' the new territory of Coahulla
Gen. Taylor has taken possession of a
that part of Tamaulpas bordering the Ri
Grande, and is now quartered III the CT
pital of New Leon, with the road beoT
him through Zacetecas and San LUIS Pot
81, to the heart of the Mexican republic
These things, for a campaign OF nv
months, with an army newly recruited,
doing something deserving OF credit. :
And. whe her like Kearney, the general
have advanced for hundreds oil miles ihr'
desert. or ike Tay lOr, they have CT
their way through hosts of brave and de
termined foes, they have done we'll Il
:heir country, and have justly earned
unbounded gratitude.
Three fourths of the territory Of Mex
co-that is, all north of the twenty-six
degree of north lattude-is now in the a
tual and virtual possession of the Unit
States.
So much for what has been done. VIII
further there is to be accomplished, is a
other and more difficult question to solv

The Courier des Etats Unis states that
IL has private letters from Havana, which
show that Santa Anna brought him, IN the
steamer Arab, to Vera Cruz, twenty Span
ish officers of distinguished ability --among
the number Narciso Lopez, who has act
ed distinguished part in the civil war OF
Old Spain. From other accounts we learn
that these officers, under Santa Anna, are
to have commands in the attempt to exPel
our columns of invasion. One OF them,
it is added, is very able cavalry officer,
who says that with corps of 5000 to OPP
pose us, we can never reach the Capital.
Others are good artiIlerists who will burl
death upon US in the passes to SaltiIlo, and
at SaItilo, or San Louis Potosl.
What IN atuation could have beset Mr..
Polk, that he should have let in upon US,
by free pass al Vera Cruz, these ele-
ments OF destruclionP How many lives
has he thus to answer for!
"Narciso Lopez, who acted distin
guished part in civil war" is just the very
chap that Capt May is waiting for. If he
doesn't look sharp, the captain will make
distinguished whole of hIm in anothe
kind OF war, by eating him up bodily. IL,
viii get knocked into the middle OF May,
as sure as the world, If she should get with
in charging distance of the captain the
Spanish ''clvil wars" to the contrary not
wihstandng.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF AMPUDIA.--
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Commercial Times, gives the following
sketch of Ampudia:
| had occasion to go on a matter of bu-
siness with several of our officers, to call
on gen. Ampudia; we found his quarters
finely furnished, his tables loaded with
fruit, VINE and cegars; while, in an adjoln-
ing apartment, were seen several women
gaudlly dressed. On our presentation to
him he merely bowed, standing with his
hands in his breeches, white jacket on,
and an unIit cigar in his mouth, and asked
what we wanted, without even extending
to US the courtesy of seat, much less
to partake of the viands on his Sumpluous
table. He was evidently drunk, and nc
doubt had been, from appearances, beast
ly so, the night before. He is large man
of full six ieet, inclined TO corpulency
with little shrewd, cunning black eyes
indicate OF deceit, intrigue and Ilbeltinism
he wore an imperial, with TUT OF bearc
on his chin. There was nothing IN hi.
manners prepossessing or pleasing, but, OF
the contrary, you become disguised will
The man and feel he is a william, tyrant
and coward. And this great Mexlcar
General, am confidently told, was once
common drayman IN the streets OF Ha
yana. But this last is nothing to his dis
credit-rather the reverse.

pari.on in this PARTICULAR may be- murh
in favor Of many cities IN Europe ofequal
size-yel no one can doubt, that IN sx-

in which the Mrxicans profess a decided
excellence. Regiments of soldiers, as.
sealed in the Plaza Mayor. are reviewed.

Clearly appearance, which is more than
can be- affirmed on any ether. On this
d,y. the Cathedral 10 crowded with the
fashionable aud The wealthy Of the city.

ors is The far sex; and there is here pte-
scented display Of beauty and elegance
which cannot fail 10 impress The mos,

manulla. in unaffected ATTITUDES Of devo.
ton, mingling in exquisite harmony their
rich and melodious voices with the militia

The " long drawn aisle and freted vault"
Of this most gorgeous cathedral. The
