NEW YORK HERALD, Ww Work, » November 2k, 1 846, Whe Official Despatches. We publish on the outside of this day’s paper General Taylor's official despatches to the govern- ment in relation to the capture of Monterey. They comprise letters from Generals Butler, Quitman, Hamer, &c., in addition to his own, und will be read with interest by all We learn that despatches have been received from General Wool, and that he was within 3 or 4 day’s mareh of Monciova, and about 135 miles from Monterey. Other accounts state that he was at Monclova We shall publish General Worth’s letter, and perhaps othe despatches from other oftice rs, as soon as they are received at this oflice. Who began the War ’—The Important Ques- tion for Congress to Decide, Phis appears to be likely to be the agitating question in the Congress about to assemble in Washington; and it will come under debate mainly through the remarkof Mr. Websterata recent public meeting; which remark went to de- clare that no one voted for the war—that it was the war of the President. The organ has replied very tartly to the insinuation of Mr. Webster, and it is plainly discernible thatthe war will en- gage much of the attention of the Senate and House of Representatives. We are not disposed to coincide with the notion | of Mr. Webster, The saddle ought always to be put on the righthorse. The war did net com- mence with the action of the President; it arose | in the events carried out immediately antecedent tohis decupation of the Presidential chair. He but carried out what his predecessor, John Tyler, began. John Tyler performed all the sign man- | ual for the country which annexed Texas, and | the organ declares, in reply to Mr. Webster, that Mr. Polk sent General Taylor to the Rio Grande to take possession of the boundary claimed by Texas, which John Tyler annexed. In this position of the organ, there is a fund of amusement for both parties; and the organ, without doubt, proposes to come out against Webster with the charge of being John Tyler’s Secretary of State ; and that, as such, he went in strong for Texas in his official notes tothe Mexi- | W8Y to Californ‘a, will doubtless render very | office yesterday fascia can Minister of Foreign Relations. Now, itis clear, that effects cannot be without causes: consequently the war could not be with- out its cause, and perhaps the true cause of it is Texas. Texas was annexed by John Tyler, and Daniel Webster was once John Tyler’s Secretary of State. Who then began the war? If it was not John Tyler, it was Daniel Webster; and if it was neither of them, it was perchance they two | in partnership, with Mr. Upshur, as the company | in the concern. By such reasoning the organ, or | perhaps the administration, endeavors. to get to the windward of Daniel Webster, and thus free the skirts of Mr. Polk of the charge of beginning the war. ‘ | We have just turned over a file of State papers, and among them, we discover Daniel ‘Webster’s official letter—the one that has been so much talked about—to Waddy Thompson.— That goes in powerfully in favor of the right of action of the United States in the matter and defence of Texas, and approves explicitly of the course taken by Waddy Thompson in the Mexican capital, the language of whom gave | so much affront, and was so tartly responded to by | Mr. de Bocanegra. It would be ot very little ser- vice, at present, to enter upon the points discuss- | ed in the oflicial correspondence to which we al- | Jude, but we think it may be found to exonerate | the present Cabinet from the inuendos as to who began the war. Itis plain that, as the country | had decided to have, Texas, that it was the duty of the President, on coming into power, to take | it. If any fault is chargeable to any one, it is chargeable to those who made it imperative upon the Executive to carry out a certain line ot cluty. | The charge of Mr. Webster, that the war is the war of the President, and not the war of the country, or that it is a war not intended by the country—while it proves what the subject matter | of debate will be in Congress—makes the pre- sent aspect of the war itself one of great and positive interest. What will the Message say of it? We think it will be one that will take strong grounds for an effective national defence, but with a tone expressly conciliatory towards Mexico. It will be thus, in order to enable the President to receive with becoming dignity the expected reply of the Mexican Congress to the overture of July last. Our readers are aware the Mexican cabinet referred the overture to the peo- ple, and that the people are to act upon the over- ture by their ‘‘ Constituent Congress” now about toassemble. The Congress cannot do otherwise than enter upon the discussion of it immediately on their assembling; and, we think, in fact, it has already been announced they will take advan- tage of its coming before them, to devise early | means of ascertaining the object of it. It would perhaps be singular indeed, were the “* Constituent Congress” to take the overture into consideration, and, yet, recommend no action to obtain the sentiments of our cabinet on the subject of terms for the settlementof the war. Such action wiil not occur. We cannot fancy it probable that the Mexican Congress will be opposed to the ap- pointments of a commissioner to learn the views of our government; especially as such an appoint- ment ofa commission, will not, in any way, pre- vent their going on with the necessary mea- sures for carrying the war on. If, after learn- ing the views of our cabinet, they shall conclude our requirements cannot be acceded to, and the negociation be broken off, then, nothing will be before both countries but additional trials at the feat of arms. If commi mers from each government do | meet, however, the chances are that peace will | be the result. After such severe fighting, each country is necessarily called upon to indulge rea- sonable respect for the sentiments of the other; and, perhaps, after all, a spec of spirited war j is but the natural antecedent toa long and lasting | friendship ; but it will be difficult to put any con- | fidence in the rascally treacherons Mexicans. We | shall probably be compelled to keep an eye con | stantly upon them, or they will dirk the first un- armed American they meet, even after a treaty of | peace is signed. We know it to be a fact, however, that senti- ments highly honorable to onr cabinet, have, through an indirect channel, been transmitted to the government of Mexico. The frank, conciliatory character of those senti- ments ought to have the best effect in the proper quarter, and if, as we have said already, commissioners on the part of each country should have a meeting, the cabinet of Washington will | probably succeed in securing a pacification of the national differences. {t will manifestly appear to the government of Mexico, not by any means to their interest to con- Unue in a belligerent attitude, if the contest can be pacificated on terms not positively obnoxious to the future success of Mexico under their re-esta- Dlished Federal Constitution ; and which, we are #iven to understand, is to be improved, so as to make it, in almost every particular, to correspond with that of the United States. Thus, if the Sier- ra Madre, as a boundary line, be not obnoxious to these Mexicans, we may soon have peace. When peace shall be arrived at, the question will be, not who began the war—but, who brought about peace? Meanwhile Tampico, Al- varado, Tobasco, Saltillo, San Luis Potosi, &c., | 4cc., are to be invested by our troops. | Tue Heratp ror Evrore, to ge in the Great Western, will be issued next Thursday noon. | The brillia | sides amusing fe: | tain Mrs, Mowatt. Mounrrn Men ror Cate n the early part of last week we etpretsed an opinion that & mounted foree was peculiarly adapted to the | wants of this country ; and that the government | at Washington, if they had not already so decided, would doubtless soon deem it prudent to send such there. The copious news from thence, since received, and published in our columns, as well as the order of Commodore Stockton for organizing a | battalion of this description, of such materiel as could be best there collected, prove that we were correct, and show the necessity of sending there a properly organized and disciplined body of the ind, who cannot only render valuable service in the present war, but will afterwards, without expense to the government, keep up their organi- | zation for the defence of that country and the protection of property from Indian depredation, &c. &e. An excellent opportunity for carrying this into effect, on terms most advantageous and economi- cal to the country, presents itself to the govern- | ment, by the proffered services of the fine regi- ment of mounted men attached to the Sixth Rri- gade N. Y. S. A., who are most desirous to con- tract with the government to serve there, or elsewhere, during the war, and to afterwards settle in that country, and, as citizen soldiers, defend it without further recompense. It is no compliment to say, that no meacan be found | better fitted for cultivating feelings of kindness | and good will, wherever they may be sent, or conducting successfully any enterprise where in- | telligence, energy, skill and courage are necessary, | than the Colonel and officers of this regiment; | and we sincerely hope that the government at | Washington, either before or after the meeting of Congress next month, will take the earliest op- | portunity to order this or some other regiment of the same kind to be in readiness for service. Such a course, it appears to us, would be far | more economical and prudent than sending a General and regiment of U. S. dragoons to so great adistance as California, at enormous ex- pense, and overland, bya route deemed almost impracticable, from whence they must either return at a similar cost, on the expiration of the war, orremain at an immense expense to the government and country. | The regiment of Colonel Stevenson, now on its | effective service in garrisoning the towns along the coast, and defending them; but will be altogether useless for service in the interior and amongst the mountain, and for the attack and pursuit of the marauding parties of Indians who | infest and plunder the country. Ocran Srgamers.—The Great Western will | leave this port on Thursday next for Liverpool. | The Caledonia, from Liverpool, is now in her | fifth day, and may be expected in about nine days. Before the Caledonia arrives, however. we may receive news by a packet ship. Surrtyinc Evrore wrrn Foop.—We learn that there are now upwards of thirty ships loading in this port, principally with provisions, for Li- verpool alone. In return, bullion will come to us. Apropos to this, is there to be any movement | made in this city for the relief of the starving thousands in Ireland? Where are the repealers? Where is their affection for the Emerald Isle ? Sreamsutr Sovrnerner,—This superior steam- | er has, it is reported, been purchased by the go- vernment, and will be added to the Gulf squad- ron.

There is nothing wanting to make it the greatest Shake- pearian revival that has ever taken place. ‘The audien- ces have been, thus far, in the highest degree respectable, and the acters have acquired a degree of finish in their respective parts that prevents the occurrence of any te- dium or annoyance. Of enery, costumes, and pointments we have already spoken. ‘Their splendor never been equalled on our boards nor excelled on any other, andthe munificence displayed by Mr. Kean, as well as his untiring zeal in drilling the supernumerai and in otherwise devoting his energies to secure th« cess of the play, deserve the splendid triumph which it has obtained. ‘King John” is to be repeated this evening. Bowery Tuxatne.—The burlesque opera of “Beauty and the Beast,” “Mazeppa,’”’ and the drama of “Nick o! the Woods,” were all performed at this theatre last eve: ning, to the largest audience we ever saw within the walls of any theatre.

Mr. Kemp, as usual, amused the audience with his wit and humor, and performed a great feat, which he calls an “ Antipodean Fandango, or La Franca Hispaniola.” In plain English, it is dancing a long, heavy pole on his feet, requiring great practice and dex. terity. Mra. Camille Gardiner’® horsemanship shows at lady to be an accomplished equestrian. The crown- ing amusement of the evening, however, consisted in the extraordinary gymnastic exercises of Mr. Nixon and his children ‘These are indeed wonderful, t be seen to be appreciated.

Panis, lst November, 1846. The Entente Cordiale—The French and Spanish Mar- riage—-Portuguese Affair?—-Switzerland—The New Pope—The Italian Confederation—Theatricals. The condition of stagnant tranquillity in which Eu- rope has been so long maintained, has lately been dis- turbed, so that journalists have had a little variety breaking in upon the tiresome monotony to which they have so long been doomed. In the first place, the King of the French has played the English ministry a trick, which has exasperated the latter in the highest degree. The queen mother of Spain having passed some months in the French captital, a match was got up between the youngest son of Louis Philippe and the younger daugh- | ter of Queen Christine, on certain private conditions and considerations, known only to the contracting parties themselves. This marriage, however, was opposed by the British Cabinet, and only conditionally aeceded to by the Peel eet on the consent to wait till the queen regnant should have an heir. On the accession of the whigs to power, Lord Palmerston seemed disposed to offer even further a megan whereupon Louis Phi- lippe pretending to think that the agreement made with the lovers was abandoned, secretly settled the marriage,. and had it solemnized in spite of the British Cabinet ‘This has put an end to the renowned entente cordiale, of which you have ey = carp a a ‘The rupture wi nglan parties in Paris to look for other alliances, and a certain section of the con- servative =, is now congratulating the cow on being liberated from the trammels of the eutente cordiale, and urging the cabinet to direct its attention to at: alliance for all pui national “4 tween France, Russia, and the United States. A journal here understood to resent the Russian party, urges this strongly. Meanwhile, the Spanish marriago gives influence The kingdom of Portugal is in insurrection against Queen Donna Maria; to that state by an atrocious coup d'etat, which suspended, or rather abolished, the constitution. It is earnestly hoped that the popular cause will prevail, and that her Majesty will learn the danger in future of playing such pranks. It was at first thought that Spain would intorvene in favor of the Por- pe government against the insurrection, but it is jerstood that under the advice of France she will Switzerland is in a state of movement. The seven smaller eantons, which are Catholic, having admitted Jesuit establishments, and took other measures at variance with the will of the lai disegree- ment has ensued, and a separate 1@ has been forme: among the lesser cantons. The Diet, or federal govern- ment, will, it is expected, immediately interfere to com- taghey Catholic or see rer Nd expel the Jesuits. in this case it is expected that itter will resist, and ‘a federal revolution, or a dissolution of the federal com- pact, must ensue, unless the foreign powers who have en the pact, interfere, either to enforce obe- lience to the Diet from the recusant cantons, or to com- pel the Diet to allow the cantons to as they please in respect to the Jesuits. In every case difficulties are apprehended, But the greatest phenomenon of the age is the radical Pope! Pius the Ninth is actually a radical refermer, and ‘as such, being opposed by Austria, is seeking counte- nance and support from the liberal rment of France. He is about to introduce ra i, @ Newspaper in Rome, and other civilized improv ements. An Italian confederation has been spoken of as a thing probable.
