fore" US, that it is the settled determination
of the Administration 10 make the war with
Mexico war Of conquest. Il is proposed I
now to attack Vera Cruz, and take the Caste
of San Juan de Ulua. With this view, an
order was issued from the Navy DePaltIAent
for a council Of twenty Of the most expert.
enced officers to assemble in Washington on
the 2lst ult., TO devise measures, and to de.
termine upon the plan Of operatiOns--the
council is required, not to discuss the policy
Of the movement, but to furnish practical
suggestions for carrying it out. The inten>
ton Of the Administration with regard to
Mexico, is pretty clearly shown in letter
from Mr.. Marcy TO Col. J. D. Stevenson OF
New York, which will be found below.


Every indication upon the part of the
Government warrants the belief that this is
to be war Of conquest - wal hostile to the
spirit Of our insttutions--u war such as we

preparations for prosecuting the war on an


extensive scale are being made at an enO!m.

and the leading partsans Of the Admins

of conquest. 1t is declared TO be the design


of the administration to conquer that par
of Mexico lying north Of line drawn from
