Hon. Stephen 4. Douglass, will please
accept my thanks for two copies of his speech
on The Mexican war, delivered ia the House
OF representatives, on the 18Th of MAY, 1916.

in finding a justification for sending General
Taylor and his army on the disputed terrific
ry, and for pushing forward the war thus
far. must be permitted, however, to dis
sent from the idea advanced by my friend
Douglass, that this is a righteous war, on
the part Of the United States. | will NOT
claim as do some, that the Mexicans have
done right in all the steps they have taken
TO bring on this war, but think were the bal
ance struck between right and wrong, the
would, comparatively, stand on
the fairest side Of The question, when placed
alongside Of the United States. Whether |
am right or wrong, the blow has been struck.
and The main question now seems to be, how
can peace between the two nations best be
obtained? My desire is that it may be eff
lected honorably and permanently, without
further bloodhsed as there is no stronger
reason why NATIONS should fight to settle
disputes, or collect debts, than there is why
individuals should do it.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO-PRE-
PARATIoN TO FIRE ON THE U. STATES
SQUADRON.
The New Orleans papers contain advices
from Vara Cruz to the 9th inst. We copy
from the Bulletin and Picayune:
The Archbishop of Mexico, counted the lea
der of the loyalists party, died on the I'd. The
inhabitants of Vera Cruz were in constant ap-
prehenson ofan attack from the United States,
and the castle is said to be kept in constant
readiness. The commencement of hostilities
on the Rio Bravo had not been heard of at We
ra Cruz The LocomOtor of the 4th inst states
the government had withdrawn the appoint
ment of Almonte as Minister to France, and in
trusted the mission to the present Mexican
Minister in Spain. The reason of this curious
movement is said TO be some discoveries which
compromt Almonte with the Government.

Tampico on the It'll inst, which announced
the death of Col. Cross of our army. The
circumstances of his cruel fate are detailed.
she was taken by an armed party of Ranche-
ros, and hung Immediately to tree!" So suys
the letter from Tampico.
| The Mexicans remote from the seat of wal
were universally confident of victory upon tn,
Rio Grande. They founded their hopes pure
ly upon their numerical superiority. They Sc
down the number of their own troops at 10 ,OO(
at the least, and that of Gen. Taylor's at lesl
than 5000.
Ell Locomotor is extremely gratifed by the
prompt preparation which was made in the
Castle of San Juan de Ulua to give en- Conner IS
squadron warm reception. The wind was
such that the squadron in setting sail approach
ed somewhat towards the Castle. Thereupon
the guns were manned, matches lighted and
every preparation made for repelling an attack.
But the squadron sheared off and pursued its
course.
The editor of the same paper speaks in the
highest terms of the state of the Notifications
in the Castle. Since 1888 barbet battery
has been erected upon the gLaciS of the Castle,
mounting 40 or so morters, of an immense
size. That the cannon and powder are good
within the Castle we have no doubt, for they
were obtained from the United States In this
connection we may add that a gentleman ar
rived here yesterday from Vera Cruz, who
comes over for the express purpose of making
large purchases of powder for the Mexican
Government.

NAVAL ENERGY OF THE COUNTRY. Our
HOME SQUADRON. We learn says the New
York Herald, that there are now no less than
thirty American vessels of war cruizng off the
coasts of this continent, in the Pacific and At
lantic oceans. These men of war can be con-
centrated in very short time, in two or more
fleets, and be ready to act upon Mexico in the
same energetic and decisive manner that has
characterized the recent movements of Gen.
Taylor and his troops on the Rio Grande.-
These thirty sail of vessels form the largest
squadron this nation ever had ahoat at one
time.

"The monotomy which prevailed in our

important intelligence of the stir ing events

the city was in blaze of excitement, and a
perfect furor. Of mingled rejoicing and indigna-
ton pervaded the town, from the centre to
the suburbs. A thousand flags soon streamed
gaily in the air from our public houses, lber-
ty poles, &C., and for the residue of the day
neither church nor state received much atten-
ton from any body.
The army, the war, and the late gallant a.

lhzed the attention and the discourse of all

Il is but Justice to the memory Of the deceased TO
state that his admission into the American navy
was the re ward Of services rendered volunteer
To pilot the gallant Decatur into the harbor of Trip
OIL when he set FIRE 10 the American frgate Phila-
dephia, then in possession of the corsars. The
deceased was, at the time, (lS04,) pilot an board
ike Enterprise, then under the command of Lieuten-
ant afterwards Commodore) Decatur. Lieutenant
Decatur, being aware that his pilot understood the
and afterwards to Commodore Preble, (then com
manding the squadron) the daring project OF enter
ing the harbor of Tripoli by night and destroying
by FIRE the frigate Philadelphia. The deceased i'm
mediately volunteered his service, and the project
being approved by Commodore Preble, the gallant
Decatur, with the deceased, Zone mdshiPman and
twenty men being concealed in the bottom Of a
xebec,) sailed for the Philadelphia. On approach
ing the frgate, the xebec was hailed, when the de-
ceased answered that he had lost his cable and
Choir, and requested permission to make fast to the
frigate until morning. Having obtained leave TO
make fast TO her stern Decatur and his brave CON-
panions boarded the Philadelphia, and swept her
decks. Out of SO eorsairs, not one escaped. The
frigate then set on fire, and the heroic band set
sail for the American squadron with only one sea
man wounded. As reward for this brave and he
roic service, the deceased, upon the recommended
ton Of Commodore Decatur, was admitted into the
American navy. .... .
