END OF MEXICAN WAR.
Says q writer of the New Orleans Bullet


We have conversed with almost every officer o.
rank that has visited or passed through this city
from Mexico, on the subject OF our military oper-
Ations there. not one of whom has estimated al
less than $4,000 men the force that ought to be
employed. in order TO make an efficient impress
sion.
Such, we know, have been the opinions and ad-
vice given to the Government on the subject by
those who have had the best opportunities of judg-
ing, and some have gone even far beyond the per-
ceding estimate.
Relon, who is decidedly one of the most able
men in Mexico, and well qualified to Judge on the
subject, told one of our friends in Havana. where
he then was You have begun, this war. but il
will be for Mexico to say when it shall erd.n-
Present appearances, we think, shew that there
Is great deal of truth in the remark
