DESIGNS OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO SEIZE PORTIONS OF MExiCo.-The New York Sun publishes letter from a cores pendent in London, the writer Of which says, instructions have been sent by the British Government to Mir. Baukhead, minister, and MT. Mcintosh, consul at the city of Mexico

 "These instructions, as have learned from the highest authority; direct the English minister to push his efforts al mediation, to urge treaty of peace, not to be over scru- pulous as to boundary lines, if the Americans ask territory, provided they retire north as far as the Rio Grande-and the moment the American army wilhdrsws beyond that line, to demand from Mexico the eighty millions due 10 England, principal and intrust, and if such demand IS not settled, as the English cabinet very we'll knows it cannot be with ready money or acceptable bonds, to seize all territory that has been left by the United States Corresponding with these instruc- ton, orders have been dispatched to the mail and war steamers and other armed British craft in and contiguous to the Cult, to pro- ceed at once before the Mexican ports, so that the moment we retire, the English demand can be enforced by a military occupation. The policy of the English cabinet IS lo drive us, by fair means or foul, from the coast and southern part of Mexico, in order to enjoy those portions themselves"

 The Sun, in giving this letter, says ihe writer enjoys position that entities him to credit, and affords him superior opportunity for knowing the secret movements of the English cabinet. How any newspaper cor res pendent can get al the secrets of the En- glish Cabinet, we cannot see. They do not usually let such secrets out
