from The Washington correspondence 81 the ~.

The President and his cabi.ri, in common with
our Citizens are in The highest state OF cnthusIas
NJ the brilliant and crownisg success OF General
Taylor, and the magnificent and suspicious land
ing and demonstration of Gen. Scott before Vera
Cruz, while they also share in the genclal sym
patty for the loss OF the many brave men who
have persisted, or who have been mafdered in the
recent memorable exhibitions OF The skill and dis.
cipline of the American arms. There is no gam
mon in all this. II is The first desire OF he Presi-
dent 10 secure peace with Mexico-,o leave The
government as be fonnd it-at peace with all the
world; and to secure such GUARANTEES and ces-
sions from The enemy, as shall liquidate all ba-
iances due to US while on the other hand Mexi-
go herself shall be left in condition adapted 10 a
more stable government, and in The possession OF
a more reliable state OF peace at home, with her
eyes opened 20 the advantages OF improvements
in the arts and pursuits Of peace, as best adapted
10 secure the means aud The power Of an efficient
defence in time Of war.
In short, The war will be lasting benefit TO
Mexico-her case has long required some such
decisive surgical operations; and il will also be
tor ages TO come crownius glory 10 The Ameri-
can name, in The bravery of our troops in ba.le,
and their humanity TO a fallen enemy on all oc.
casions. The Tinted States ,oiH stand approved
