doubts upon his movements in that quar-
ter. He will not hazard any thing IN
til he is properly prepared. 1t is said
he has made heavy demand for means of
transportation and Cor forage, and sub
sistance. Some 1000 horses are requir-
ed for the cavalry, and provisions for
their support. This provision is neces-
sary for the proposed march Of Cen
Taylor's column alone from Ma,amoros
to Monterey. The advanced columns
through Santa Fee and chihuahua, which
are TO Join him at Monterey, preparatory
10 his march TO Santillo. San Louis de
Potosi, and Mexico, will render neces-
sary a vast addition to his supplies and
means of transportation.
Ii must be remembered that after he
leaves SalstiIlo, he will have march Of
400 miles through a desert where he can
not get any-supplies. 1t is not expected
that The contemplated movement from

Comments Of Foreign Papers on
Gen. TayIOr's Despatches.-Fur-
Their items of Foreign News.
From the London Times June !.


The dispatches of General Taylor are
remarkable for their succinct energy,
and the absence of those verbose and
grandiloquent strains which we are ac-
cusiomed 10 meet with in narratives of
American exploits. He writes like a
man Of sense, skill, and courage; and we
have not the slightest wish TO detract from
the honors he has gallantly earned under
the flag of his country. Whatever opin-
ion we may entertain Of The cause Of this
war, and Of the political motives in which
it originated, the behavior of the Ameri-
can General and his troops deserves TO be
judged of by much higher standard than
the policy Of the government, which it is
their duty to serve. The conduct Of the
Mexican army. on the contrary, demon
strates the utter inability Of that govern
ment TO protect any portion OF its dom
inions from invasion; and it degrades The
descendants Of the Spanish Americans
still lower in the rank Of nations
From the Liverpool Times June 49,
The brief but lucid dispatches of Gen
eral Taylor have attracted much admra-
ton. His. pen. like his sword, deals only
on the practical. Merit is generally az
lied with modesty; and as he judiciously
refrained from playing the braggari on
paper, the same self confidence, il is
clear, susalns him in the field
PARIS, June Is. The Journal des
Debats has lately published a remarkable
article on the state Of affairs between
Mexico and the United States. Your
contemporary asserts that Mr. Polk has
gone against Mexico to compensate has
defeat IN Oregon, and to regain the pop
ulariiy which that defeat had brought
against him. 1t thinks that Mexico is
totally unable to resist the United States,
and that the existing hostlliles will re-
suit in its ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1t thinks. too,
that that the States will endeavor to seize
the Callornians, to make up for what
they will be obliged to lose Oh Oregon;
and it says that the Californians are in
6nitelv more valuable than that barren
territory. 1t views all this with regret
but, beyond few sneers at Mr.. Polk,
for whom ii appears TO entertain profound
contempt, i, says nothing offensive to the
United States.

a. We would say 10 the editor Of the

counts. by the passage Of M'Kay's tariff
bill. ltis fixed fact, indicating the pro-
gress of liberal principles, and 50 far as it
goes, relieves the people of the system of

else day we may start, some thinking with
in a few days, and some beleveing that we
cannot leave before ten or twelve days.
From conversation, however, which have
had with some of the officers ofthe stall, it
is expected that Major Clark, who is looked
for every moment, will bring with him both
additional cannon and sabres, in which
case it is more than probable that we shall
leave within two, or at most, thee days. -
As 20 our probable route nothing is known.

we may meet in the course Of our campaign

tain that we shall be ordered to the Pacific,
