tery be Withdrawn from it, The people have a
right 90 all the information which their chief EX-
ecutive agent, the President, or the Ministers who
serve under him, possess upon the subject:
Ave wish particularly To know why certain
correspondence is not published relative 10 the
"Amy Of Occupation" Il will be recollectod
tlSat, after Congress had been in session some
ume, Mr.. Polk ordered the army 20 march 10 tho
Rio Grandc. lie did this without consulting or
houly ing Congress of the fact. Now. there must
De some good reason for this extraordinary move
mcni on ms part that should be known to the peo-
pie. II must not be forgotten thar Mr. Polk cai-
med the Nueces as the boundary line between
Mexico and Texas when he came into power. and
on the banks of that river the Army of Occupa-
tion was stayed long time. Now, it is impor-
tant TO the people of the United States for Mr..
Polk TO give his reasons for changing his mind,
and explain the extraordinary necessity made up
ON him of moving the army while Congress was
in session without consulting that body. We
trust that the press will clamor for this missing
correspondence. twill be found, we have no
doubt, very interesting indeed, and enlighten We
ry many people who have ever been in guam
Diary why the army moved from the Nueces to
the Rio Grandc.
There will be fine field open for the contem-
plation of free people when all the causes that
governed the Administration relative to the Texas
question shall be fairly brought to light. The
management of the whole matter is decidedly
rich. Thanks to Gen. Taylor and his brave lit
tie army, he fought himself out of all difficulties
whatever, and, contrary to the expectations Of the
Administration, covered himself and his COM
panions in arms with immortal honor Again
we ask for the publication of the orders sent TO
Gen. Taylor that caused him to leave Corpus
Christi for the Rio Grande, and for the reasons
Mr.. Polk had for issuing such orders without
consulting Congress, in session al the time he is
sued them, and who alone has power to declare
war.-NeW Orleans Iropc.

comermaaled in France, in consequence Of the
rupture between the Two republics.
The war itself has exercised the pens and the
tongues ofall the professional politicians in the
old world. In the early Stage OF the struggle
on the banks of the Rio Grande, when the Am
.ercon forces sustained one or TWO trling gucril-
la roverses, good deal of sympathy was shown
for the Mexcans, and il Jonathan had suffered
more. the sorrow, we grieyo 10 add, would not
have been intense. But when the Britannia ar
rived with an account of the battles Of "palo
Alto' and the "Palm Rayine." in which the
MeNicans, on what they claim as their own soil,
with force two or three times greater than
their antagonists, were ''walloppcd" by the Am
cricans, all sympathy disappeared, and contempt
was the feeling universally lclt and unequiyocal-
ly expressed.
BY the way, the brief, but lucid dispatches of
Gen. Taylor have attracted much admiration.
His pen, like his sword, deals only IN the prac-
neal. Merit is generally allied with modesty,
and as he iudiciously rciraincd from playing the
buggau on paper, the same sclfconhdcnce, it is
clear, sustained him in the field.

The distance from Tompico to Mexico is sup
posed to be between 26O and 800 miles.
From the Houston (Teras) Telegraph, June 3.
The road by which Ampu-
dia has rcrcatod, offers no serious obstacles to
the march Of our army, aud it is well known to
many Of the soldiers Of Texas, who are now in
the camp Of General Taylor From Matamo-
rus to Monterey, a distance Of about 25O miles
The road leads through an open, fertile valley,
well watcred, and intcrsperscd with numerous
lourshing villages, where provisions would be
found in abundance. There are no lateral val
lies filled with dense settlements, where an op-
posing army could be organized, 10 cut off lhe
supplies of an invading army. The few slight
Ioriiiications at Monterey would probably scarce
ly be defended, or obsrruct the march Of the ar
my single day. Above this city, however, at
the pass Of the Sierra Madre, the Mexican army
might make stand, but this pass would offer
such advantages to our rincmen that they would
soon dSlodgo the McXicans who should venture
10 defend it. Our riHcmen could climb the
mountain sides, post themselves in the creyiccs
of the rocks, among the crags and raynes, and
fire upon the enemy at their leisure. The ca
yaIry and artillery of the McXicans would ncces-
sariIy be huddlcd together in the narrow pass,
and would be unable to stand against the lnur-
dcrous fire Of the American rhcmcn single
day.
The rugged mountain passes of the Sierra
Madre, which are considered imprcgnable to
cavalry and artillery, offer little or no impede
ment 10 the progress Of rilemcn. unless they are
defended by ri0cmcn. The MeXicans having
few rllcmcn in their army consequently cannot
defend these passes against our troops. When
ever the American army has passed the Sierra
Madrc, the high road to the capital will be open
before it leading over the elevated, healthy table
lands Of the great chain of the Sierra, through
highly cultivated districts, from which an album
dance Of provisions and forage could be obtained
for the army. Although these districts are IL
mong the most populous of Mexico, the army
would be Liable to no danger on this account; for
the people, however numerous, arc almost en-
lircly poems or scris, and not only mamcd, but
with the use of arms, and arc as
inefficient as IIindoo5 or Chinese in the battle
field.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore american.
WASHINGTON, July 9, 1916.
The dsmcmbcrmcnt of Mexico is the design
of the Administration, and that not only by the
invasion of California, but by the seizure and
possession of the entire country beyond the line
of Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico, and the same
parallel onthe Pacific. Theseizure embracestho
richest and most valuable provinces of Mexico.
1t includes all Of California, from the head to
the cape, and not alone the Provinces bordering
on the Rio Grande. Parts of Jalisco, Guadala-
Kara, and Zacatecas, and all of Sonora, Durango,
San Luis Potosi, New Leon, Chihuahua, Coahui.
la and Tampauipas are to be the fruits of this
conquest. The Government here are ready TO
settle the question now, if Mexico will yield up
the country have named, on consent to run a
line from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific upon
the line have named. All this is in contempla-
tiOn now, secretly but seriously, and the regiment
raising for California, of which | gave you the
first notice some time since, is the first fruits of
the expedition. | content myself with making
the announcement of the ambitious designs of
the Administration, and leave ito yourselves and
readers to speak of them as they deserve to be
spoken of.

WAR BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE

A New LEGAL QUEsTIoN.-Judge McOalcb,
of the United States District Court (says the
New Orleans Courier) this morning pronounced
Il decision in the case, already mentioned in the
newspapers, of habeas corpus in favor of Hen
ry Grammont, who was arrested as deserter
from Major Galy's battalion of artillery, now
stationed at Fort jackson. Mr.. Grammont con-
tended that his enlistment was illegal, as Gen.
Gaines was not authorized by the President to re-
ceive the battalion into the service of the United
States. The point was ably discussed on Satur-
day by counsel on both sides of the question:
The Judge postponed his decision till this morn
ing, when he declared Mr.. Grammonts enlist
ment illegal, and ordered him to be set al liberty.
