The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, speaking of the bene> fits likely to result to this country from the opening of the Mexican ports to the trade of al! nations, says:

 "Should we be obliged to hold the coun> try for long time, as is very probable, the revenue that we shall collect will greatly reduce the burden of the maintainance of our force. There are. at this moment, at Havana, lhree millions ofdollars worth of goods entered for re-exportalion, which are destined for the Mexican market, and were brought into Havana in the expectation of an early peace. These goods will go into Vera Cruz al once. The intelligence of the opening of the Mexican ports is already in England, and in sixty days, there will be fleet of vessels at Vera Cruz, with goods and various supplies for the English mining companies and merchants, and for the country generally, which has long been debarred from supply of necessary goods for which it is well able to pay.

 "Bul still greater benefit will be deri- ved from this policy, through the vast trade about to commence between the United States and the posts of Mexico. There will he vast demand, in Mexico, for Amer ican produce and manufactures. The fol. lowing are only some of the articles and the value of them that, as furnished 10 me by merchants long resident in Mexico. will be exported to Mexico, during the first year from the United States: iron hollow ware four millions-knives, forks. cutlery gener. ally, ha1rows, ploughs, and farming uten- sils of all kinds, ten millions-wool and cotton manufactured, fifteen millions -floul and other bread stuffs, two millions onions two hundred thousand dollars fancy arti. cles, including ladies dresses, &c., thre' millions. Saying nothing about leather and many other articles, here we have . trade of thirty four millions to begin with.
