THE WAR WITH MEXICO.

WASHINGTON, Ang Z, 10 A. III.
Two votes were taken in the Senate yesterd {,
upon the suggestion contained in The Presidents
Message, relative to The renewal OF nego,iaions
with Mex co, and upon The matter, the Executive
will probably communicate with both houses to-
day, so as 10 procure the necessary appropriations
for carrying out the object. The government
has proceeded upon information derived from Mr..
Black. our Consul al Mr.. Mexco.who is OF opin-
ion, that the war can BIZ terminated: the Mexican
boundary established and California cededby props
er management, and the payment Of money, 10 the
amount OF less than a months expense for the
army. 1t is matter of some doubt, Mr. Slidell
" i'll be entrusted with the mission, though | can
net speak with posiliveness. Prejudices which
exis, against him in Mexico. would seem to for
bid his appointment. when peace is TO be sincerely

On the other hand, tho journal Of Commerce
has the following report from Washington by Tel
egraph:

Mexico. have learned on the best authority.

which have been made By Mexico are such as can

and we have something over three thousand five hun
bred bushels left, which being multiplied by l2a gives
the difference in the market of S440 which amount
is dead loss every year to those on that section
alone and you may take it at any price you please and
you will find the difference in transportation from
here to Buffalo, with our present facilities to be on
an average not less than one shilling on the bushei.
So much for this one article alone.
Now in regard to Sal. last year this place alone
sold 500 bbs salt and the average price was $3.50
per Dbl. If our river was navigabe, salt could be
brought here and sold from eight to nine shlngs pr
barrel. Last year this place sold of Merchandise
and Wares upwards of 100000 worth, on that $780,
600 the consumers pay at least 10 per cent more
than they would pay provided the merchants could
do the business that they ,eoud do if we had the ben
eft of navgabIe river and better market. Ten
per cent on the above amount saves the consumers
$4,000 per year which would complete the improve
mcnt alone in eight years. Citizens, one and all,
ask you to sit down and figure for yourselves and
see if we are not acting the part of the sotlful ten

STATE OF THE WAR.


Perhaps we cannot render our readers more ac-
ceptabIe service than to present them with brief
statement of the numbers, and positions of our
mics, now lowering around devoted Mexico.
The Army of Occupation, now numbering, in all
nearly quite 10000 men lies encamped on the Rio
Grande, its line extending from Point Isabel to Rey-
nosa, eighty or ninety miles, with its headquarters
at Matamaoros. Should peace not be made this ar
my, still farther augmented, will march by way of
Monterey, on Mexico. Meantime Gen. Kearney is
approaching the distant province of New Mexico
with force, including his Mormon auxiIiares of
1000; and the regiment of Col. Stevenson, about
to embark for California to be followed by another
regiment speedily possible. In addition to the
formidable preparation by land, our navy has since
the commencement of hostility, maintained most
rigid blockade of the entire Mexican coast, with the
exception of the neutral province of Yncatan. The
entire revenue from imports is thus cut of; and d.
rect taxes and forced loans the of
olution. Mexico, then, is powerless; nor can we
ascertain, to any degree of certainty that Mexico
has as many 1000 men concentrated at any point
to repel invasion, except perhaps at Vera Cruz. S
What, and when, the end of the war will be is yet
to be seen-perhaps soon seen.-The Tribune of the
18th Informs that it currently reported at the
Capital that negotiations were in progress and that
Paroles and the Mexican Congress propose to give
I'D to the United States the whole of California and
Santa Fee. We place little reliance in these rumors
though it seemed certain that import ant intelligence
from the seat of war, had been received.

The VEro MEssAGE.-We have received and pc
rused the message of the President, Vetoing the ap-
propriations for River aid Harbor improvement
He dwelis at length the unconstutionality of the

nut shell thus:-
"If nc constitutional objection existed to the bill,
there Others of serious nature which deserve
some consideration. 1t appropriated between one &
two millions of dollars for objects which are Of no
pressing necessity; and this is proposed at time
when the country is engaged in foreign war, and
when Congress at its present session has authorized
loan, the issue of treasury notes to defray the
expences of the war; to be resorted to the exigen
cies of the government shall require it.. 1t would
to be the dictate of wisdom, under such circum
stances, to husband means and not to tcase them,
on comparatively uninportant objects, so that we may
reduce the oan Issue of treasury notes which may
become necessary, to the smallest practicable sum
That's what we call plain talk. Hear it, We west
tern admirers of Mr.. Polk, and cease your clamors.
What if your commerce does stick fast in the mud,
the ST. Cla ir fats it matter of no pressing
necessity The lives of your sailors, and the safety
of your property, are objects quite unimportant in
comparison with the Mexican war.
