SPIRIT OF THE FOREIGN
JOURNALS.

The London press seems to find it a
hopeless task TO tBke the part of Mexico.
The MexlcanS are bad clients. Their
conduct, IN respect of the war, seems TO
present not one single point upon which
their advocates abroad can rally, to con.
cllItate toward them the sympalhieS of
other nations. We gave yesterday the
stern and contemptuouS condemnation of
their whole coursS which the London
Times has seen fit to put forth The fol-
lowing article from the Globe is much in
the same strain, though that journal will
have 1.-THE wish probably being "father
TO the thought"-that the war is full of
peril to ourselves. The Globe might at
least have learned, however, as a matter Of
fact, that the President did not ask the two
millions Of dollars referred to as secret.ser-
vice money, button the contrary, expressly
as funds TO be accounted and vouched for

From the London Globe, Sept Is.
Ifany confidence is to be placed in the
prevalent rumor in the United States, that
the administration OF that country is favor
able to the prOnltncidmeHto which has
probably by this time again placed Santa
Anna instead of Paroles, at the head Of
the disorderly PretorianS of Mexico, il is
a new and curious example of Frankin's
old recommendation TO belligerent powers,
10 buy each others territories, ifthey wan
ted them, as a better bargain than fighting
for them. The ancient exclamation of
Jugurtha, regarding Rome. would, in the
case supposed, suggest the only doubt still
clogging the transaction; and the Mexican
PrRlorlans may be assumed ready to be
bought, flheY have found purchaser.
But it may be remembered that President
Polk asked Congress for 100000 dollars
for secret service money, aud did not get
them. There appears TO be more uncer-
tainty how the federal government intend
TO raise the ten millions authorized for the
avowed mode Of carrying on the contest.
Either Santa Anna and his myrmidons
must be content with little for ''sloifiingp
the war, or President Polk must have un-
known ways and means of satisfying The
rapacity saidto distinguish the chief whom
a military revolution is now restoring. The
garrison of Vera Cruz first signed the
