From the London Times of June Is.
War bettcsen Merico and the United States.-
The dispatches of Gen. Taylor are remark
able for their succinct energy, and the absence
of those verbose sand grandiloquent stra ms
which we are accustomed to meet with in mar
ratives 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 CALAMITY ecrned under the flag of
his country. Whatever opinion we may en-
terrain ofthe causes Of this war, and of the
political motives in which it originated, the
behaviour of the American general and his
troops deserves to be judged of by a much
higher standard than the policy of the govern

conduct of the Mexican army, on the contra
ry, demonstrates the utter inability Of that
government &c protect any portion of its do
mnions from invasion; and it dcgrades the de-
scendants OF the Spanish Americans still lower
in the rank of nations.
From the Manchester Guardian of June III
We are somewhat surprised to find many
parties assuming that the victories OH the Rio
Grande prove the utter inability of the Mexi-
cans to contehd with the United States troops,
and that they will put speedy end to the
war. We never doubted the success of the
Americans in pitched battles, if the Mexicans
should be unwise enough to engage in them;
nor do we now doubt the ability of Gen. Tay-
lor to drive his enemies from Matamoras, and
to penetrate into Mexico, so far as the nature
of the country, and his ability to procure sup
plies, will enable him; but if the Mexicans are
firm, the real contest will be then only begin
ming. Like all men of the Spanish race, the
