.4rmy Movemenfs.-A Washing
ton correspondent says-'The recent
orders from the War Department con-
template movement by three divis-
ions of the army Of invasion into the
interior, on or about the LIST of August;
one, via. Monterey, under Gen. Tay-
lor, in person; another under General
Wool. via. the Preside of the Rio
Grande, in a parallel line; another I'M
der General Kearney, and General
Butler, via. Santa Fe, to California.
General Kearney has already left
Fort Leavenworth with part of his
force on his route. Gen. Wool, at the
last account, was on the Ohio or Mis-
sissippi, experimenting the movements
of the volunteers. Gen. Taylor it has
been given out, would march on the
10th.
Dispatches received at Washington
from General Taylor, however, throw
increased doubts upon the movement
in that quarter. He will not hazard
any thing until he is properly prepared.
1t is said he has made a heavy demand
for increased means Of transportation,
aid for forage and subsistence. Some
4 900 horses are required for the caval-
ry, and provisions for their support.
This provision is necessary for the
proposed march of General Taylor's
column alone from Matamoros to
Monterey. The advanced column
through Santa Fe and chihuahua,
which is required to join him at Mon
tercy, preparatory to his march for
San Louis Potosi, and Mexico, will
render necessary vast addition to his
supplies and means of transportation.
1t must be remembered that after he
leaves Saltillo, he will have a march of
400 miles through a desert, where he
can get no supplies whatever.
1t is not expected now that the con-
templated movement from Matamoros
will take place before October. Far
iher cid in prosecuting the war will be
made, il is said, before Congress adj
journs, the ordinary revenue with the
Slo,ooo,ooO appropriated, not being
enough.

mericans will obtain il by showing
themselves conciliatory on the side
of Oregon,l and firm as regards
the principle of spontaneous annexa-
ton. The idea Of an European
intervention to protect the distinc-
ton of races in America will not
bear investigation. Mexico would
certainly have right to invoke Eu-

power, wished to conquer that state, but
Europe has no right, under the pretext
Of preserving the political equilibrium,

the same course as that in which Texas
has found hers. France, which Meth

opposition of adopting policy too
French and not sufficiently European.
We reproach him, in return, for adopt

nor the other, neither European nor
