July last, 10 terminate hostililes by peace just
and h onorabls to both countries. On The thirty
first OF August following, the Mexican Govern
men declined 10 accept this friendly overture, but
referred il to The decision Of Mexican Congress,
to be assembled in the early par, oil The present
month communicate 10 you, herewith, copy
oil The letter of the Secretary Of Stale proposing 10
reopen negotiations. OF the answer OF The Me1i-
can government, and fine reply thereto OF the
Secretary OF State.
The war will continue to be prosecuted with
vigor, as the best means ofsecuring peace. II is
hoped that the dec sion Of the Mexican Congress,
To which our last overture has been referred, may
result in q speedy and honorable peace. With our
experience, however, of the unreasonable course
of The Mexican authorities, II 10 the part OF WIS
DON not to relax in the energy of our military
operations until the result is made known. in THIS
view, il is deemed important TO hold military pos
session OF all the provinces which have been la
ken, until defniive treaty Of peace shall have
been concluded and ratified by the Two countries.
The war has mol been waged with viaw to
conquest but having been commenced by Mexi-
co, il has been carried into the enemy's country,
and will be vigorously prosecuted there, win
view 10 obtain an honorable peace, and thereby
secure ample indemnify tor tbs expenses of The
war, as well a. TO our much injured citizens who
hold large p.cuniary demands against Mexico.
BY the laws of nations, a conquered territory is
subject to be governed by the conqueror during
his military possession, and until there is either
treaty of peace, or he shall voluntarily withdraw
from it. The old civil Government being neces-
sarly superseded, il is The right and duty OF The
conqueror 10 secure his conquest, and 10 provide
for The maintenance Of civil order and The rights
of the inha biianls. This right has been exer-
cissd, and this duty performers, by our military
and naval commanders, by the establishment OF
temporary Governments in some Of the conquer
ell provinces in Mexico, assimilatingIhem as Tar
as practicable TO The tree institutions Of our own
country. In the provinces of New Mexico, and
of the CALIFORNIA;, little if any further resistance
is apprehended from the Inhabitants 10 the tempo
rary Governments which have thus, from The ne
cessi,y OF the case, and according TO The laws Of
war, been established. I,maY be proper TO pro-
vide for the security of these impoItan! coaques
by making an adequate appropriation tor the Pui.

sixty-two cents was outstanding on the fourth'of
March, l645, leaving The amount incurred since
that time six million four hundred and sixty

In order 10 prosecute the war with Mexico with
vigor and energy, as the best means OF bringing
il TO speedy and honorable termination, fur
iher loan will be necessary, 10 meet the expendi-
ture. for the pre.en, and the next fiscal years. II
the war should be continued until the hirtieth Of
June, i64S-being the end OF the next fiscal year
lit Is estimated that an additional loan OF
lwen,y.three millions OF dollars will be required.
This estimate is made upon the assumption, that
il will be necessary 10 retain constantly in The
Treasury four millions Of dollars, to guard
against contingencies. ii such surplus were not
required TO be retained, then loan o. nineteen
million Of dollars would be sufficient. II, how
ever, Congress should al the present session, i'm
pose revenue duty on the principal articles
now embraced in the free list il is estimated that
an additional annual revenue OF about Two mil
lion and half amounting, il is estimated, on the
,hirlielh OF June, ls46, 10 four million of dol
lars, would be derived from that source; and the
loan required would be reduced by that amount.
1t is estimated, Also lha, should Congress ga
duate and reduce The price of such OF the public
lands a, have been long In the market, the
additional revenue derived from that source
would he annually, for several years to come,
between hall million and a million OF dollars;
and the loan required may be reduced BY that
amount also. Should these measures be adopted,
The loan required would not probably exceed
eighteen or nineteen million of Misunderstanding
in the treasury constant surplus Of four mil
lion of dollars. The loan proposed, il is es'ima-
ted, will be sufficient 10 cover the necessary ex-
pendtures, both for the war and for all other pur.
coses, up 10 the 30th Tune, ls4s and an amount Of
this loan, not exceeding one-half, may be required
during The present fiscal year. and The greater part
of The remainder during The first half of The fiscal
year succeeding.

proper measures taken TO effect the loan, or such
portion OF ii as may be required it is importan,

The Battle ofParana.

The Battle of Parana, ofwhich we gave an
account last week, is an incident in the at
tempt of the combined forces of the En-
glish and French to extend their commerce
to the Republic of Paraguay. So Louis Phil
lippe announced in his late speech at the o.
pening of the Chamber ofdeputes. The N.
Y. Commercial explains the condition of the
matter as follows:
,"The territory of that republic is entirely
inland. 1t has no access 10 the ocean except
by the river Paraguay, which unites with the
great river Parana, near the city of Corrien-
ties. The river Parana Is in fact the main
stream of the Rhode la Plata, or river of Plate,
on which the city ofBuenos Ayres is situated.
The Pnrana flowing through the Argentine
Republic, Ofcourse access TO Paraguay by
that river is at the command ofthe Argentine
Government; and as this Government, pend
ing its dispute with Paraguay, the Oriental
Republic and the two European powers, has
refused to permit such access, the latter have
resolved to obtain it by force. This was the
purpose ofthe naval expedition which begun
with the battle Of the Parana.
1t does not appear-we have never seen it
even alleged-that the Government of Para
quay solicited or desired the forcible inter
vention ofFrance and England in its be-
half and however beneficial to that republic
or to the world may be the establishment of
extensive commercial relations with Para
quay, we cannot subscribe to the justice or
rightfulness of the method adopted by
France and England to effect it,"

friends:
"THc party-thc Democratic Republican
party, we mean ofcourse, for that is the only
party that has ever arisen in this country
worthy Of the designation has at length be-
come so involved by selfish and corrupt pol
iticians,and mprncipIed demagogues,in dis
sensions, perpleXities, and factional warfare,
that it will probably have to pass through the
ordeal of another general and owe rwhelming
defeat, before it shall be redeemed, purified,
and restored to its former glory, unity, and
strength. in Pennsylvania, "A worse and
more deplorable state of the party is witness
ed, than in any other State in the Union, eX-
cept, perhaps, it be the State of New York.
With the fell spirit oftaction that is raging in
the party in that State, and sowing the seeds
of its overthrow and prostration, we have
nothing now TO do; we shall, i'll this article,
confine ourselves mostly to our own State
and in the spirit ofprudent forbearance and
kindly admonition, endeavor to point out
