terday morning, additional particulars of the
news brought By the Theatus 10 New Orleans,
ffom Vera Cruz, which place she left OH the
Goth ult Al that time the port Of Vera Cruz was
blockaded by the United States vessels OF war.
According to the accounts thus received, il APP
pears that the Mexicans We're stralning every
nerve TO carry on the war, and Paroles will pro-
badly continue TO do so--til perhaps he hears of
the severe defeats his troops have suffered at the
hands of the Americans-in order TO sustain his
administration. To do this, he has resorted 10
extraordinary measures 70 replenish the National
treasury, by extortng from the people and the
clergy. Paroles reached his present position, by
inflaning the minds Of the Mexicans against the
United States and as he acquired power by pro-
missing to enter into war, fer the purpose of re-
covering the department of Texas, there is no
doubt that he win do his utmost to protract it,
rs long as he can, or until new revolution shall
break out, which places some other man in his
place.
The government of the United States is steadily
pursuing the policy indicated in its recent move
inents, and all the ports in Mexico viii be strictly
bockaded In the meantime, and before we can
secure treaty OF peace, il may be necessary

FINANCES OF THE CONFERENCE.-THE has been re-
Gently stated by Mr.. Webster on the floor of the
United States Senate, that the military expenses
OF the government are now about five hundred
thousand dollars a day The surplus revenue at
this rate OF expenditure cannot last long, and the
government must soon resort 10 some means Of
raising funds, III anticipation of the revenue from
imports Whether this will be accomplished by
II direct loan, or by the issue of treasury notes. is
rs yet matter of much doubt. The issue of
treasury notes is, perhaps, under existing crcum-
stances, the most feasible method and without
doubt the easiest, as they would be sought after
to limited extent for the purpose of equalizng
exchanges, and for payment into the treasury of
the government OH account Of Duties &C., but a
loan in any shape in these times cannot be effect
ed, without submitting to loss.
Ii is probable that treasury notes, bearing even
the legal rates ofinterest would be deprecated in
the market and the government unable to realize
the face on them, but any attempt to effect loan
in the usual way, by the issue of government
stock, would, under existing circumstances, per-
haps, fail altogether. The difficulty OF making
loans for either the general or State governments,
has recently been pretty well illustrated by
the failure of the Comptroller ofhs State to raise
tWO thousand uOuafS, at SIX per cent M
terest. We are decidedly in favor of the issue Of
Treasury notes, as it isour impression that money
can be raised more expeditiously, and at less sa-
crfice in that way than in any other An issue of
these notes would arrest the drains Of specie from
the northern cities, as the deposit banks could
dispose of the Government and State stocks
which they have deposited with the Secretary of
the Treasury security for the public funds in
their possession, and purchase with tho proceeds
the treasury issues, and change the security In
this way the government could realize on their de-
posts, without disturbing them, and in the event
Of the government being hard pushed, and the
deposits IN these banks being required, transfer
Of these notes would be made, and they would be
forced into circulation by the banks holding or
owning them.
1t is impossible to tell to what extremity this
Mexican war will be carried, but there is very lit
'le doubt but that the expenses already incurred
viii use up the surplus, and require a large sup
ply of funds from some source. The business of
Congress is, as yet, hardly commenced.
