Inuasion of .Merico.-We are prepared to
state, on the very best authority, that it has
been determined by the Government that
General ScoTT is to march to the city of
Mexico. 1t is not expected that he will par
uclpa,c in the present struggle on the Rio
Grande, as he cannot recruit in season. -
The laurels Of that contest will be left to be
reapcd by the sword Of the gallan, TAYLOR.
When the main army shall have been con
centrated, the hero of l.undy's Lane will
lead them 10 the capital of Mexico.
We understand that high military author.
ity in Washington has expressed the opinion
that the volunteer forces cannot be concen.
trated on the Rio Grande before the close
of August or the opening Of September
The task Of collecting such force from our
widely extended territory, organizing and
preparing them for the field, cannot be ef.
lected, even with the most strenuous exer.
tions, before that period. The army will
consist Of twenty odd thousand men, and
will be provided with all that is necessary to
ensure triumph.
