THE MEXICAN NEWS.

The latest news from Mexico, received this
morning at the National Wing Office, by Tel
egraphic despatch, will be read with deep in
terest OF the unfavorable results of any me-
gotiations for peace, we entertain little or no
doubt. There has been some fighting, but not.
as far as we can see, of such character as to
alter materially the determination Of the Mex
lean, as expressed in the late action of their
Congress and the declaration of several Of the
States which refuse absolutely to come 10 terms.
Much reliance has been placed by some of our
friends on the capture of the city of Mexico,
putting an end to the war. In these anticipa-
ton we do not, we confess, agree with them.
Il does not appear to US probable that nation
which refused TO accept the terms Of their in
vaders when, by doing SO. they might have
saved their capital, sea ports, and a vast por-
lion Of their territory, TO say nothing Of the sums
expended in organizing their armies, would
all at once change their policy, when the pre-
sence of our army is rather an advantage to
them by furnishing market for their commo-
dities.
In this we hope we are mistaken, and shall
be very glad to fnd ourselves in error, provi-
ded a restoration Of peace be the result few
days will, in all probability, solve the difficult
ty, aud show whether we are to be cursed
with the melancholy consequences Of the i'm
becility and incompetency Of the Executive /;
for, should the Capitol be taken. and no peace
follow, there is no telling TO what length the
war may be spun out.
The Mexicans may be said to have every thing
their own way now, for acting gueriias they can
fight when it suits them, and when tired of piIlage
and robbery return to their ranches and furnish
supplies to our soldiers. Happy, happy country that
we are. to expend millions on millions of treasure
and thousands thousands Of valuable lives for the
alleged purpose Off covering four or five millions Of
debt, but in fact to enable the President and his
Cabinet to reward partzan services and find some
thing to do for those who voted in accordance with
the high behest Of the Baltimore Convention
The national whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1847, 1847-07-30

fix upon peace establishment In both the
Army and Navy. We trust that the public
mind will have become by that time so awak-
ened to the necessity Of abandoning the present
policy in relation TO the Navy, that Congress
will be found bold enough TO change existing
laws aud make new ones placing the admins
traton Of The Navy Department entirely under
the care Of Civilians, con6ning Naval Officers
TO the duties Of their profession, and reducing
the Navy to skeleton Navy. We also trust
that it will cease building ships Of the line and
huge frgates and tub,like briggs to be propelled
by wind and sail, that il will encourage, as the
British Government has done, the citizen to
build Steam Ships of moderate tonnage
and suitable TO be brought into the war SER
vice of the country at moments warning.
BY the association Of these sea going Steamers
with the grand art Of peace--the transmission
Of intelligence between this and foreign coun-
tries, we form Naval School worth thoust
and Of the naval systems now In vogue. AT
the same time the government could have a
skeleton Steam War Marine as the nucleus OF
future operations. but il would have TO be
placed on totally different basis from The
present miserable apology for Steam Ma
rine-the fruit Of Bancroil's eccentric and i'm
practicable mind. We hope the next Congress
will break ii up root and branch, and reorganise
it on basis worthy Of the real scientific mind
Of the country.

GEN. TAYLoR,s WHIGGERY.

Ertract Of letter by an american officer in
.Nerico 10 a gentleman Of this city:
1T is a matter TO me Of much surprise TO
find such an array of party contention in rela-
ton 10 General Taylor's politics and opinions
in regard to the great principles which create
such diversity among our countrymen, par
ticularly when he has been as he thought SO
explicit in expressing his sentiments; being
myself an intimate friend of General Taylor
and having conversed with him on the subject,
do not scruple to affirm, with all due defer
ence to those who differ with me, that General
Taylor is and has been--as long as have had
the honor to be acquainted with him, in favor
of those views, and conceded with those mea
sures which characterize the Wing party. An
moreover has ever been the great admirer and
ardent supporter Of the son Of his own State,

The Burning Of Las Tigas.--0n our reach
ing Las vigas, pretty and fourishing little
town, il was found that the dwellings were en-
lirely deserted by the Mexicans, and was salts
factorily ascertained that they had identified
themselves with the guerras. With the con-
sent Of the commanding General, the torch
was applied TO the buildings, and in lew mo-
ments the entire town was one universal scene
Of conaagraiion. Every building in it, mum
bering between eighty and one hundred. was
destroyed by 6re---the only one that was spared
being the neat little Catholic church that adorn-
ed the town. Its solitary appearance among
the smoudering ruins Of the town, created
sensations better imagined than described and
the example set in this instance, il is greatly to
be hoped, will have the effect Of restraining the
enemy in future in their murderous course o.
