THE NEW YORK TIMES BECOMING
wAllLIIkG.

The New York Times, which has made itself
notorious by lis advocacy Of the quiet strategy
Of the Army OF the Potomac" broke out last
week in the following warlike strain:
"Tho Navy Department has doubtless good
reasons to give for permitting The disabled
Msrrimac 10 be reG,,cd At leisure, and TO select
her own time and place for another essay OF
her destructive powers. Among those in New
York who understand such matters, quite as
well NJ the Secretary himself, IL is believed
that the means instituted (partly by Govern
men) to destroy the Merrimac, would have
done the work far more effectually had they
attacked her boldly at the navy yard, crippled
and without steam, than they can do it now
when she Is repaired, newly armed, and with
steaIn up and abundant searOom. That these
advantages are on her side is inquest iOnably
source Of extreme alarm, not only TO tho peO
pie but TO the Government. The latter, for
fear Of the monster, IL unabio to harbor the
feet of transports tributary TO the army o
tho Potomac under the guns of Fortress Non
roe; and the public. equally fearful, shows
none Of the enthusiastic satisfaction which the
splendid victories on tho Mississippi and Ten
ncsseo so fully warrant. Why, II our mailed
champions are what they arc represented /,
be, do they not seek their enemy, and at once
terminate tho general suspense ~
We do not know how IL may he among 'those
In New York who understand such matters, "
but here in Washington, where some matters
are incomprehensible, a suggestion by the New
York Times that anything in the rebel world
should be "boliiy attacked" is very mysterious
This IL q new role for the Times to appear in.
In New York, reasons may exist in certain
disappointed steamboat quarters for laying upon
the Secretary of the Navy the blame Of leaving
the Merrimac to be fitted up without obstruc
ton at Norfolk. In Washington, that blame Il
put upon quite other shoulders. We had al
idle army here for months, which could have
spared, at any time, the force necessary for tb'
capture Of Norfolk.

nrxucAH AFrAlas.

The President, yesterday, kanmittsd TO ths
House Of Representatives, in reply TO resola-
ton Of that body, volumlnous documents rela-
two 10 the condition Of our affairs with Mex
loo.
The correspondence between Secretary Sew
ard and Mr.. Corwln Is highly interesting, as
well as important. Mr. Seward writes, under
date Of June 3, 1861, that information has been
received, which wears an air Of authencity,
that design exists on the part Of the insurgents
to gain possession Of Lower California. The
United States does not desire 10 acquire any
part Of Mexico.
The President expects that you will exercise
your best judgment 70 prevent inurgent armed
vessels from finding shelter in Mexican ports,
and prevent arms being carried through Mex
ico."
Mr.. Corwin writes 10 Mr.. Seward, 10Th June,
1861: at has been my constant endeavor,
since my arrival here, 10 possess the Mexican
mind Of the true cause Of our difficulties, and
thus enable them 10 estimate the danger to
this republic, which will result from any un-
favorable termination OF them. am quite
sure, that whilst this Government will Gu
deaver 10 preserve peaceful relations with oil
European powers on fair terms, II regards the
United States as its true and only reliable
friend in any struggle which may involve iti
national existence"
Mr.. Corwin writes 10 Mr.. Seward, July 10th
1861, that "Eirope Is quite willing 10 see III
humbled, and will not fail TO take advantage
| Of cur endorsements to execute purposes o
which she would not have dreamed had VIC
remained at peace"
Mr. Seward writes TO Mr.. Corwin, September
ID, 1861 I" The President greatly desires thai
the political statas Of Mexico, as an indepcnd
ent nation, shall be permanently maintained
Mr.. Seward writes TO Mr. Corwin, February
18th, 1862, that ii Is not advisable to negotiate
treaty which will require the United States
to assume any portion Of the principal Or in
terest Of the debt Of Mexico, or that will re
quire the concurrence Of European Powers.
| Mr.. Seward writes to Mr.. Corwin, April .
1862: Under lhese circumstances the Presi.
dent is unable 10 suggest TO you any other
mode for contributing TO the deliverance o.
our sister republic from the embarrassment
by which it Is surrounded, which will be &C
ceptable to the Senate. Meanwhile, desire Il
direct your most earnest attention TO the neces
sity Of guarding, il possible, against any sucl
pledge Of the resources Of Mexico TO foreigI
Powers as might affect our course injuriously
or impair the ability Of the people Of Mexc,
to sustain the free Government established b,
their own choice. You will not leave the Gov
ernment Of Mexico in doubt, for a moment, tha
the Government and people Of the United
States are not Indifferent concerning the peri
by which they are menaccd."
