In the foreign correspondence Of the New York
Courier and Enquirer is this important paragraph:
"There is rumor this morning on the London
Stock Exchange that it is the intention of the
: American Executive to offer to assume one-third
of the Mexican debt! This would be creating
fixed debt of Sl5,000,000, and, if it ended the
war, would be cheap ending. 1t is stated that
the mode Of carrying out the plan will be by call
IN the whole Mexican bonds, and endorsing them
with notice that the American people have given
the owner a new bond for one-thrd of the amount
I Should the rumor be founded on fact the accusa-
ton against US of having taken from the Mexicans
the whole Of California, without also having taken
fair proportion of the debt, will fall to the
ground. How anxiously the Courts of England,
France, and Holland will assist in the negotia-
lion, and how quiet will be all the scurrous
Z writers, who otherwise would have bullied the
Americans for thirst of conquest" Depend upon
il that if the United States will assume the whole
Of the Mexican debt they might roast and eat the
i Mexican people without remonstrance from any
of the yirtuous and humane Courts of Europe

Gen. TAYLOR AND THE ARMY ORDERs.-When
Gen. Taylo:s famous letter to Gen. Gaines was
published in tae New York Eapress the Secretary
OF War revived an old army order, forbidding Off
GERS in camp from wiring letters on the subject of
military operations. We, however, daily see, in
the government organ at Washington, letters from
the highest officers in tie army, in direct violation
of the above order; and recently, in New Hamp-
shire paper, we saw the official report from Col
Ransom to Gen. Peirce, detailing the proceedings
OF his regiment near the capital of Mexico, before
It had been published officially in the Union We
have nothing to say 10 all this, unless it would be to
ask the UIon and Mr.. Marcy what their opinions
are of sucl disobedience of orders, or if the army
order above alluded to was intended only to prohi-
bit Gen. Taylor from writing letters9
