A Washington letter in The N. y He
raid represents The future policy OF the
War Department, in IFS operations against
Mexico TO be as follows:
The plan of invasion is 10 be changed.
The march from Monterey to the city of
Mexico is al least six hundred miles long
er than from Tampico on the Gulf, or Al
varado or Vera Cruz, which latter points
afford the nearest and most accessible
route. The detachment under gen. Pat
terson, strongly reinforced by volunteers,
is 10 attack Tampico, reduce it and march
forward into the interior toward Mexico
and we are more strongly impressed with
the idea this evening than we were yes.
terday that nearly simultaneous attack by
land and sea is contemplated upon Vera
Cruz, if not already resolved upon and
arranged.
Gen. Taylor will leave Monterey occu-
pied. with garrison; and march forward
with his main body upon Sallillo without
delay, depending upon the country for sup
plies. 1t is necessary that his army
should be divided 10 enab BILE il TO subsist on
tue SlCuUtI I6S1ulCES lcil III tilttt iCAtSut
by the enemy. For The whole force to
remain at Monterey would be 10 remain
TO starve. He will occupy the little towns
in his progress in pursuit Of the enemy,
aud if his force reserved for the forward
movement be not sufficient for the conflict
when he shall overtake AmpudIa (who
runs like an Arab he will pause until his
reinforcements in the rear can be called
up. as the emergency may demand. Of
course he will have his pickets and pio-
neers sufficiently in advance and upon his
tanks 10 give notice of the approach oflhe
Mexicans or any scattering parcels of
their army.
From Monterey to the city of Mexico
there is at least a, journey of 700 miles,
(some say 900,) among the table lands,
and deep gorges, and dangerous passes of
the mountains of Mexico. This line of
march running southwark lies parallel
with the eastern Gulf coast, at about $50
miles distant, more or less. Vera Cruz
lying nearly in a direct line across from
the city of Mexico to the coast, conse-
quently opens passage to The capital as
short and more convenient and accessible
than the route traversed by gen. Taylor
! from Point Isabel 10 Monterey.

A Washington letter in the n. Y. Jour.
nal of Commerce. speaking of the Mexi-
can war, says:
As to the results of the war, they must
be a subject Of speculation They are
not better known to the Government than
10 am pcivate individual; and so far has
the movement gone, that the Government
cannot control its results.
To arrest the war, at lis present stage,
would be impracticabIe even if desired and
agreed to py the governments both of Mex
leo and the United States.
The "Iumutuary population of the Mis-
sippi valley" have taken into their own
hands the conquest of Nerico-and they
will have it-and the whole of it---with or
without the cooperation of the government
OF The United States.
Destiny is at work. The folly and
blindness of Mexico on one side, and the
impulses of the American population on
the other side, will insure the speedy con.
quest of all Mexico 1t is of little impor-
lance what the administration may do in
this war-whether they manage it well OF
Ili-tor al that was wanted was to set the
bali in motion
The sacrifice of Taylor and all of his
force al Saa Luis AN event likely enough
will b4t hasten and insure the destruc-
ton Of Mexican nationality.
