LATER FROM BUENos AYREs AND MoNTKvIDEo-
The intelligence from Montevideo is to the 9th
of February. Letters and papers from Buenos
Ayres had been received there to the 9th.
The general tenor Of these advices is that
there is no hope of any of the negotiations be-
tween Rosas and the British Envoy coming to
any point, and that consequently, there is every
probability of a continuance of the blockade.
This state of affairs has had very sensible
effect on the money market and business in ge-
neral. One writer states, that from the begin
ming it was very improbable that Rosas would
voluntarily enter into any pacific arrangement
that did not give him complete and absolute
triumph
Captain Reid, of H. B. NJ. brig Racer, who
took the last English mail from this place to
Buenos Ayres, was not allowed to land, as his
vessel was not regular mail packet.

PoRTRAIT OF GENERAL TAYLoR.-Severaln news
papers in Philadelphia and other cities have re-
Gently published portrait of Gen. Taylor, which
they say is an accurate likeness of the hero
They said they were indebted to friends, ac-
quaintances, cousins, aunts, Sc, for the original;
but it is rather singular that they all exact
copy of the portrait which we published some
time since, the original of which we obtained
from our special correspondent in the army, who
sketched it during his leisure hours in camp.
The inference we draw from this coincidence
is, that our portrait which the first publish
ed, was remarkably correct, or that those papers
have, to plain W ord, stolen it, copied it,
and published it for the benefit of whom it may
concern.

AFFAIRS IN BRAzIL.-Our advices from Rio ia
Metro are to the Sd Of March.
BY the San Salvador, at Rio, intelligence had
been received from Para to the 9Th, Maranham
to the Sth, Ceara TO the 18th, Pernambuco to the
2Oth and Bahia to the 24th of February.
The utmost tranquility reigned in all these
provinces.
The President of Para had assembled an extra
meeting of the provincial assembly, to conclude
the discussion on the provincial estimates, and
fix the police regulations.
The clergy of Maranham still continued to be
deprived of their pay, which ought to be paid
them from the public chest, and consequently
they were reduced to the utmost misery.

The War with Mexico-Thc Plan OF Conduct
lug 1t recommended by the Herald, literally

When the war between the United States and
Mexico broke out, and imme diately after the re-
pulse sustained by the Mexicans in their hrstcon-
hct with our army, the Herald recommended a
plan of conducting the campaign, which we have
the pleasure of seeing is the very one, or iden-
tically the same, that the administration is pur-
suing
In the Herald of May 2s, 1876, we held the fol-
lowing language =
General Taylor sent to take up position tho
Rio Grande, not is it true, to provoke attack al
though such the effect General Ampudia was de-
spached to capture him, which he attempted do by
cutting him OF from Point Isabel To ensure the cap
ture General Arsta afterwards sent but not
withstandng tho large odds against him, General Tay-
lor by his skill, bravery and decision, has completely
overat ched and beaten tho Mexican force with vastly
disproportioned numbers Parcdos the one side and
Scott on the othcr-the one has taken-the other IL
preparing the field then the game will be full

will not be confined to the banks ofthe Rio Grande

Uua Vera Cruz must be garrsoned by United States
troops Jaapa Perote and Pueba must be coerced into

our fortress Of San Juan d. Ulua to the city Of Mexico

tated
All this be effected without shedding drop Of
blood Let proclamation be made the line Of route
that not with the people of Mexico but that

of that nation their ambitious purposes Letstho
srices discipline be enforced in army and let the
sodiery be restrained by stringent military rule from
Offering the slightest molestaon to the unofending
tives of the country they pass through
But in order to produce these results thirty thousand
troops ut least must be landed at Vera Cruz The
bers volunteers who have lately reinforced Gen. Taylor
will enable him spare portion ofthe regular troops

Com Conner take the fortress Of s. Juan Ula and let

send against him. he be constantly reinforced
with troops from part of the country Should the
Mexcans draw of their forces to repel Gen. Scott.
Taylor follow them at convenient distance and
thus the two divisions of the American army may yet
meet in the city Of Mexico.
We leave it to readers to decide, whether
the plan and the details of carrying it out recon-
mended in that article, have not been, and are not
now being pursued by the administration, almost
to the very letter. Comment is needless

NETWORK TRIBUNE.


We find in the Courrler des Etafs Unis tue plan
Of Railroad to unite the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans. through the State OF Honduras
The distance from the port Of Omoa situated
upon the Atlantic in the Gulf of Honduras to the
port Of La Paz. San Lorenzo upon the Pacific, is
hardly 300 miles OF this distance, 90 miles from
omoa TO Tofosl can be passed with steamers Of
certain size. There will thus be only about 200
niles Of Railroad
The cost ofsuch route is estimated at less than
foar millions Of dollars, while Mr. Whitney's pro-
Jet OF a Road to Oregon would require for its CON-
pletion some sixty-ive millions. Beside, the two
Oceans vaa Honduras would be within twelve hours
Of each other-while eight dnyswouldbe consumed
ia passing from one TO the other by means Of Mr.
Whitney's INSTRUMENTATION.
The face Of the country according 10 the Couriers
statement is well calculated for the easy cOnstruc
ton Of Road and, as if by proyidentisl arrange
ment quarries of stone mines Of iron, and other
cessaries for such purpose, are scattered on the
route.
The project u.s. to say the least, worthy consider.
alton and If our Government would purchase the
night Of way and devote 10 the construction Of the
road merely what might be sared from the extrsv-
agant waste Of this war, the enterprise could be
easily achieved. If the subject can properly come
within the province Of the Chicago Convention we
rust IL will be introduced there and discussed
One thing at least is TO mind certain-ths pro
ject would meet much attention and support from
the present Administration as the measures likely
10 be recomm ended at that Convention. Nay, it is
not improbable that the President would find him
self authorized under the wsr-making power grant
ed by the Constitution TO build such road TO facil-
ate the transportation Of troops to California.
Certainly such would be no less proper deduction,
than the power to lay duties at his will upon all
goods whether domestic or foreign, imported into &
hostile port
" Ia the actual state Of international relations,
says the Courier the union of the two waters has
become question Of such immediate importance
that the most rapid means of accomplishing it
should be selected

approached the dock.
The landing the ferry houses, the dock and oil the
vessels were crowded with people, anxious TO catch

After proceeding a short distance up Fulion-st the
Presidents carriage stopped, and he was welcomed to
the City Of Churches In brief and pertinent speech
by Mayor srRYKEB who with the Committee was wait

The street crowded, and the people were so
noisy at this time that it almost impossible for to
hear the Presidents reply. He thanked the Mayor for
the courtesy that had been shown him and said that
after his arrival at the great Commercial Emporium, be
had accepted the invitation and exceedingly sorry
that his visit would be briefhavng but half an hour
to spsre--on account Of other engagements in New
York Wishing prosperity and happiness to our clt-
zens, he concluded his remarks.
The procession then formed (Which, BY the way,
was rather slim one and passed through part OF the
prescribed route. The windows on both sides Of the
streets where he passed were filled with pretty faces
and bright eyes and as that's hml" proclaimed his
appearance, the ladies generally welcomed the Chief
Magistrate with waving their pocket handkerchief and
smiling sweetly as possible. He soon arrived at the
Navy Yard where he received another salute, which
was fred by the Forth Carolina lying in the stream.
The President legged Capt McKeever to make an
apology for him to his officers and hoped tina, he would
excuse him. for owing to his pressing eugaeements he
would be unable to stop but few moments. He,
however gnihed his intention before leaving Of visit
