For1earanee has ceased 10 be a rirtue. The
Mexican Government having declined to accede
to The liberal propositions of our Government, for
peace, or even, it would seem, 10 give them Sc
rlous and respectful hearing, 1t is now manifest
that the forbearing spirit and object which has in
duced the administration 10 tender peace has been
wholly misunderstood


The propositions Of Mexico-that we should
pay to the Mexican citizens all the damages sus-
laned by them during the war, surrender all that
portion of Texas West Of the Nueccs, abandon
all Of Lower and ope-haff Of Upper California,
leave the imports of our own and all other meI-
chants into the Mexican ports open to new duties,
or even to con6scrion, and givcsup our claim 10
any right of way across the isthmus-are so pre-
posterous to put all hopes of peace at least for
the present. out of the question a' TO- ,'''''' '''


We understand it has been determined by the
Government to make no further overtures Of peace
on our part. When Mexico wants peace here
after, let her sue for it. We are now in the pos
session of her capital, principal Cities ports and
possessions Large reinforcements are daily NOV
ing forward from Vera Cruz, sufficient TO support
the gallant column in the present occupation ofthe
capital, Puebla, &C., and 10 open, and keep open,
the line of communication between the seaboard
and the main army. In addition to, and besides
the regiments now organizing and moving for

Otner relnIOrcemenSj 10 the IuIl extent aCtnOrZeQ
by the law of Congress, will be called out at
once, to make certain of the security of the army
in its present occupation and operations.


As the continuance of the war is forced upon
US, it must be wagcd with vigor. The country
conquered must be occupied and governed by mar

tributary in every practicable manner to the sup.
