MEXICAN AFFAIRs.-"Ihs stale Of The Terra, quss-

journal, FL Siglo Dies y.Nusps "WaT on account of
Texas, (says the organ,) either a OF recoy-
ering that country OF preserving , Is called for
by no one, and il desired by no one" In the same
article, which We may justly regard as a manifesto
OF the government policy, II Is said, every one
knows the disastrous result Of the campaign Of
1895. Now, at this time, the reconquest Of Texas
would cost ten times more than Texas is worth;
and above all, III was sacrifices would be
sufficient 10 retain II in possession Here 10
good sense. This may show the disposition Of the
Mexican government and the people; for none APP
pear mad as TO think Of gaining Texas, or any
thing else, by n on account of Texas. And this
being as il appears to be, the general feeling Of the
country, II Is not TO be expected that any party, on
the pretext Of Texas, will be able TO reyoutonize
or overthrow the present government. We may,
therefore, discred all the rumors Of revolution In
Mexico; we may expect a durable peace 10 be con-
eluded with our country we may expect California
to be conceded and the putting down the insurec-

all difficulties. The great evil under which Mexico
labors is the nsoent and bold incursons Of the
Indians; who, by accounts which we publish to-
day, seem to have taken the department Of Durango,
10 threaten other departments, and to present the
prospect Of a more formidable enemy than that UNI

the government will still have energy and means
enough 10 put an end to these dreadful disorders TO

BY the arrival Of the brig ct Street" yesterday,
from Havana, We arc in possession Of papers down
TO the 24th ult-eight days later than we had pro-
yiously received.
The news from Havana is not Of considerable inn
portanee. The eaptsin-general Of the island has
yielded 10 the desires manifested by the municipal
iy Of Puerto Principe, that he should ysit the cap
ital Of Camaguey, and sailed on the 18Th ult. In
war steamer for Nueyitas The most favorable re-
suits to that important province Of Cuba are sntie-
pated from this visit. During the absence Of Gen.
o'Donnell, his authority was deyolyed upon ID. Vi
cente de Castro.
The message Of President Polk Is freely COM
mented upon by the press Of Havana, and very
much extOlled. One Of its minor recommendations
touches Spanish colonial shipments; and on this
point its earnestness and justice noted and COM

We publish to-day in full the official despatch Of Gen. Taylor-givng his detailed report of the cap turo of Monterey It is very interesting document and marked with a generous anxiety to distribute the honors of that victory fairly among all who dis tingushed themselves in winning 1t. There is par tcularly evnced in i. an anxiety to have the lead Ing part ~yhio, Con- SVo.,a boro in ,l.a un'ary fy preserved to him. He leaves to Worth as detach ed or independent command, to narrate his own cesses The letter of Gen. Worth has been received with other dispatches, but was not publ ished at our last dates. Besides this letter from Gen. Taylor there are also published letters from Major General Butler and B,igader Generals Quitman and Ha mer.
 We cannot forbear inviting particular attention 10 the language in which General Taylor speaks of the conduct and services of the gallant Butler, against whose reputation there seems 10 be dead se in many presses in the United States for conceva- ble reason that we know, except that he is demo- crat, and may be in some body's way. These des- patches abundant refutation of the calumnes even fit were not already well understood in the United States, that they are inventions.
 Another instance of malevolence towards Gen But Ter has just fallen under our eye, in the following passage in the New York Express whig:
 We are sorry to say the close of this rambling letter that the general of the vctorous division (Botler0 apparently for the sake of popularity su lied his fair fame by neglsctng, for some lime after the equalization, 10 restrain the passions of the lunteers."
 This is part of a letter from an officer at Monterey and the editor indulges his spite by putting in the name of Gen. Butler with interrogation mark when every man who has paid attention to the his tory oflhe battle knows that the General ofthe vlc- torious division was Wortk-not Butler; and that the latter was at the time wing heplessfrom wounds received in battle

The following piece of petty malice is copied from the New York Courier and Enquirer, into the Ad. vertiser of yesterday:
 hr Bancroft in Engiand.-T London Stand ard of the 30th October has the following:
 Lord John Russell and Lord Cotenham at the Caolnet Council on Wednesday, urged earnestly the constitutional necessity of early session to ob ram parliamentary sanction for the reduction of the 4s duty on imported grain The council broke up without coming to any definite resolution Al the meeting of the Ministers on Thursday, the subject was resumed, and this latter occasion the oppon- ents Of an early session had the advantage of Mir Bancroft arrival from the United States, with in- telgence that the supply of grain collected in the American ports for exportation, is so ample as 10 render extremely improbable the necessity for re- ducfinn of thu duty"
 To this, the New York Courier and Enquirer says 'So 1t seems MT. BancIof,'s first act, after reaching England as Minister from the U. States, was 10 prevent the opening of British ports to Ame- rlcan grain! Ifthis is specimen of his diplomatic career, he will certainly make valuable representa- nve. We look with interes for his next movement. Probably he will induce the Cabinet 10 put the duties up to the old mark.'
 MT. Bancroft is reported to have taken with h m intelligence of the abundance of grain in the ports of this country--and the ministry IS reported to have decided that this abundance made it unnecessary to reduce the duty. And Mr. Bancroft is abused for bearing the fact, as though it were not true or as though the information did not go out in ten hous- and other ways-and is abused for the course which this information induced the British ministry to take, as though they depended upon him not only for intelligence, but for advice!
 It is nice specimen of the meanness of party ma levoence.
 The real truth is, that the British ministry derived no information at all from MT. Bancroft. He ar rived in Liverpool indeed the 25fh ult but had not been presented all and did not get to London un- til the 3Oth-the day after the Cabinet Council spo- ken of was held.
