Washington, Feb ~, ls47
As matter Of speculative news, We give the
following
Correspondence oil The Baltimore SUM-
WAsnlNGToN, Feb %, lS47.
The Lieutenant General is now safely again in
the srrups, and the administration has carried lis
point by species OF tact and torbearance which
DECIDEDLY entities il TO credit As said in my let
ter of yesterday. all The Objectionable features of
the Lieutenant General are dropped-and all The
substantial advantages which must result from
The creation Il such an Office during The war; are
retained The President will now be enabled 10
appoint that officer 10 the command Of The army
who is not only The bes, and most experienced SOL
der but who uniies with these qualities those Of
tar-sighied statesman and enlerlains views on
The future condition of the Two sister Republics in
unison with those entertained by The President
and his cabinet. The MeXicans are treacherous
cunning people, who require in their treatment
great caution, prudence, and forecast, and who
are, perhaps, less easily conquered in diplomacy
than in the field. They have proved The resources
OF heir minds in that respect at Monterey, where
they gained as much by the capituaion as our
troops gained BY The victory they purchased with
their blood.
After all The fighting and negotiating through
which we have gene thus far, The President seems
10 be disposed 10 initiate The example Of Louis
XIV and The Emperor oil Germany, whose Gene
rails, while they were giving each other battle, had
at The same time, full powers from their respective
soyereigns 10 negotiate peace; and Immediately
dlter me paltle SET honestly ABOUT H.
Let US make peace, said Marshall Villiers 10
Prince Eugene, OF Savoy;-"we meet here as
friends; for have left my enemies al Versailles,
and yours are in all PROBABILITY in Vienna" Vii
lieIs was right, and the peace was signed shortly
afterwards without the usual intrieues which ac-
company such measures. We will hope that Inc
General who will be appointed by President Polk
will be rs successful as Marshall Villiers in the
field and The cabiner, though bis enemies, from
the peculiar institutions OF our country. instead
OF remainngin Washington city, will besPread
all over the country.
Col. Benton will PROFESSIONALLY be The man,
and, alter The manner he acquitted himself on The
occasion OF his personal explanation, meet with
little or no. opposition. Members aud Senators
have become recuncied 10 his appointment; and
even his enemies do him the justice 10 say that he
is eminenlly flied for il. Rusk and Houston
would, from their intimate acquaintance win the
Me1cans, their mode Of fighting, their peculiar
fitness for welding one or the other species OF
aims, and The nature and resources Of The coun.
try. make excellent, commanders OF divisions. and
| doub, not tina. either of them placed al the head
Of a column OF volunteers say from I'VE 10 six
thousand strong and armed as they shall direct;
would mol be long in finding their way 10 the city
OF Mexico.
