The annexed description of the Isthmus of Tehuante- Pec we have extracted from » communication to the New Orleans Picayune :— About midway betwixt Vera Cruz and Tabasco is a point at which the two oceans approximate so nearly to each other that the isthmus is only about 120 miles in breadth. This is the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and is one of the points at which it has been ascertained to be practicable to unite them by means of a ship canal. Should the progress of our arms result in the annexation of the State of Vera Cruz in its entire extent to the con- ucred territory, we should be in possesion of that por- tion of the isthmus whose waters flow into the Guif of Mexico, and the remaining portion, or that situated on the Pacific declivity, could be taken possession of by » very rmall force, the country being too sparsely inbab- ited to afford much material for resistance. Then should 4 treaty of peace establish us in quiet possession of these territories, including also the valley of the Rio Grande, the Sierra ».adre, which not only bounds this valley on the West, but also skirts the western border of the State of Vera Crus, and whichis impassable except at pa cular points, would furm much more natural and suit- able national boundary than any river on the globo. ‘This‘arrangement would make our possessions contin- uous to the Pacific Ocean at this point, and would leave usin porseasion of a territory with which. in point of importance to us, New Mexico and California sink into insignificance. { mean the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Having passed through this country in 1835, [ can give something of its physical features, ite soil, ell- mate, productions, &e., from personal observation, Its importance in a political, military and commercial point of view, must be apparent to all. It is.» country of sur- passing beauty and lovelinens, of exceeding fertility of soil; well watered, with the exception of some locations on ‘the Gulf coast; very healthy, and what is of transcendent importance and constitutes one of its greatest attractions, is the fucté that by a division into low valley or plain and high table land, and the different degrees of temperature belonging to each, all the various climates and productions of the earth are found in close proximity to each other and se- parated by only a few hours’ ride. My route lay thiough the village of Tebuantepee, neanthe Pacific Ocean,thence in a southeast direction parallel-with the coast. Oumy left. was visible in the distance the first ridge of moun- tains. The ceuntry betwixt this and the ocean ix an inclined plams, actos which, at yery short distances, treams of pure and limpid water, af jw sives for machinery Here the cl to the production of sugar, coffee, co- soa. indigo, vanilla, pineapples, oranges, lemous, plan- ropical fruit tains, and all other its. At Tonala we left the coast and ascended into the interior, passing, in some two or three hours, from a hot to a cool, pleasant cli- mate, where cochineal, wheat, rye, oats, barley, apples, pears, cherries plums, ‘and all northern fruits itable climate and grow luxuriantly. (1 might here remark that many parts of Mexico abound in a great variety of the most delicious fruits, which, from their great delicacy, are incapable of being transperted, and are therefore unknown in the United States even b; name.) Here the climate ix delightfully cool and plea- sant all the year round. ‘The vicissitudes common to more northern latitudes are unknown in any part of this country, and summer and winter witness about the same temperature, Hence it is that even the low and hot situations are extremely healthy, for the remote cause of fever, in & country well drainod’ as this is, must exist to s very limited extent; being supplied to about the same extent at all times of the year, the system becomes accustomed to its equal and ceaseless action and re- mains in health. Tehuantepec contains about 5600 and ‘Tonal about 2500 inhabitants. Neither of them would afford practice enough tosupport a physician. This ex- tremely healthy condition of a tropfcal country is no- thing unusual. A country ia not necessarily unhealthy because it is situated in a tropical elimate, The city of Leon, situated in the low and hot country of Central America, contains 40,000 inhabitants, A medical prac- tice of more than a eae Rave io a good opportunity to judge of its health, ‘Two physicianacould have done all the practice of the place, and not more than ten per pono the cases that occurred were of a febrile cha- racter. This country in possession of the United States, and in the enjoyment of the blessings of peace and security, Anglo-Saxon enterprise and capital would soon execute the work of uniting the two oceans by means of a ship canal, and the wthmus of Tehuantepec would grow ra- pidly in importance, and become one of the most inte- resting and important portions of the American conti- nent. The advantage and im) ce of its position uated between the two oceans and in the very highway of the commerce of the world, with a soil of such exhuberant fertility, a climate con- genial to health, varying in temperature in different situa@ions, and suited to all the various productions of the earth, it would attract a rapid emigration, and soon become the seat of a dense and thriving population. ‘The importance to the United States of # union of the Atlantic with the Pacific ocean, by ship canal passing through its own territory, and thus made exempt from the contingencies pertaining to a foreign possession, in the event of w war with » powerful maritime nation, must be apparent to all. Botton would be brought to within 6,700 miles, by water, of the mouth of the Co- lumbia river in Oregon, and by steam at the rate of fif- teen miles per hour, ‘allowing two days for passing u th the canal, could be reached in eighteen days.— From Now Orleans the distance by water would be 4,300 miles, and at the same rate the voyage could be made in twelve days. Canton could be reac! from New Or- leans in forty days or less. ‘The vaet commerce of China, and the East Indies, and the islands of tho Pacific, being thus diverted of half ite distance and three-fourths of its |, would yield more speedy returns and greater pro- t, and open to the enterprise of our citizens boundless sources of wealth; and by the easy and free intercourse thus established with those countries an impetus would be given to the cause of civilization, such as it has not fore received since the dawn of the Christian era, pre- senting to our people attractions and advantages that would paralyze the hand of the disunionist, and cement our glorious Union more fi together. The Eastern exista—even Massa- chusetts, now rampant with unpatriotic ardor and big with the elements of disunion, would be directly bene- fitted by being thus ht into closer proximity to the best market in the world for ber manufactured products * would be # matter of the first importance. I; ‘would contemplate the event of disunion with great bhorrence, and te thus “ put upon her good behavior.” 3 Ine military point of view, a ship canal at this point the event of a war with » powerful maritime nation, the safety of our possessions on the Pacific coast might depend upon our facilities for the speedy transit and vessels of war. At least the cost of their defence would be greatly les- nened by such facilities; and we ought, while we can, to provide against the possible contingency of having, in the event of an occurrence of thie kind, to incur the ex- penses and delay, und the hazard of # navigation half way round the world to reach them. Add to this, the time is not distant when our citizens will constitute numerous people on the shores of the Pacific. Accord- ing to our present rate of increase, in twenty-five years or less our population will number forty millions, in fifty years eighty millions, and in sixty years one hundred millions; and many of these millions will inhabit the shores of the Pacific; freedom of intercourse, establish- ing mutual relations and interests, and conferring mu- tual advantages, ithe best bond ‘of union ; a greatly extended commerce with the continent of Asis and the islands of the Pacific, requiring increased protection and giving riso to questions of national importance requiring the interposition of an armed force. Contlicting inter- esta with powerful rivals, giving rise to disputes requir- ing the strong arm of military power for their adjust- ment, are matters which ping An must press themselves upon this government with the force of actual exist- ence Sixty or one hundred years is @ brief period in the lifetime of a nation ; and selfish and improvident, in- deed, and unworthy of all its ancestral blessings, inugt that generation be which, with a strange and unnatural disregard of the future, would refuse to open its eyes to its necessities, and to seize upon a favorable opportunity to provide for them. But we need not go beyond the ne- cessities of the present moment for motives of the most powerful character for seizing upon this gem, which the providence of a just war places within our reach, and the requirements of an equitable indemnity renders in- dixpensable. Then instinct of self-preservation points to it—the necessities of commerce demand it—the progress of civilization would be accelerated by it—the interests of mankind generally would be promoted by it—patriot- ism would be proud of it—philanthrophy would rejoice at it—every nation and people would be benefited by it, and all the world would pay us tribute Spanish Views of the Mexican War. [From the ki Heraldo of Madrid, April 26 | The latest news from Mexico announces a triumph of the arms of the republic, (the reported victory of the Mexicans at Buena Vista) which would be gratifying to us as Spaniards, as united to the people of that country, by so many ties and so many traditions in common, if we thought it could decide, in favor of Mexico, the pre- sent desperate sicuggie between the Spanish and Anglo- Saxon races. But unfortunately it is not so. We see that after prolonged disasters, after infinite defents, ope- rating in @ country the thinness of whose population makes war most diffloult, the Mexicans found it necessa- ry tounite the flower of their army, in number four- fold superior to that of the Anglo-Americans, to achieve & triumph exceedingly doubtful, attended with losses which rendered any new operations impossible. ‘This victory, it is true, has somewhat reanimated the spirit of the country, so far at least as ® nation, whose people are not homogenous, are susceptible of being re- animated; but in exchange for this advantage, it has deeply wounded the pride of the Anglo- Americans, and if they determine to employ all their resources, the con- quest of Mexico is inevitable Let it be considered that the Mexican troops have been obliged to make a heroulean effort to gather a few trophies from one of the divisions of the enemy—that this effort is almost a defeat, as it has left them exhaust- ed; and that there yet remain in the country three or four divisions of the enemy, against which nothing can be opposed; and it must be confessed that this victory of Santa Anna will only serve to precipitate the feeble nationality of Mexico down the declivity which leads to the precipice, For ourselves, we believe that Mexico is already virtu- ally blotted out of the list of independent nations, — What can be expected of a nation, distracted by revolu- tions and contests for ephemeral power, when the enemy is at its gates, and that no common enemy, but one which aims at nothing less than the destruction of its nationality? What can we expect of a nation, where tho clergy—the richest Catholic clergy in the world—re- fuse the’ smallest sacrifice in favor of the country, and prefer the precarious possession of worldly goods to the salvation of the land? The army without resources, even without feod—the rieketty politicians of the capital conspiring to over- throw the established order of things—the clergy occu- pied in secreting their valuables, and in exiting the fa- natical opposition of the people againat the sale of their property, without considering whether the Anglo-Ameri- cans will not appropriate it with less ceremony —the only fortification of the coast threatened by a formidable squadron a great of the country occupied by an army highly disciplined, composed of then whose energy in proverbial, and abundantly supplied with every kind of munitions; what can result trom all this? We look upon the consequence as inevitable, Enthusiasm will be re-awakened in the United States. An irresistible torrent of volunteers will inundate Mexieo, And it will not be long before the eagle of the Union will light in triumph upon the ancient capital of Montesuma. We, as Spaniards, cannot but lament this result.

And why? Because they have strayed from the Proper path : because they desired to form a republic with the materials fit only for monarchy ; because they converted, by a simple decree, the ignorant and oppressed Indians, the dregs of the population, ignorant until then even of the language of their lords, into free citizens, posvessing all the rights which a free nation could give. We now behold, though too late, the una- voidable evils which this error drew after it. And now, is it not permitted to ask what the nations of Europe think of the indefinite extension which the American Union is acquiring, and which it carries for- ward with as much safety as rapidity.sometimes by arms, sometimes by money, sometimes by emigration, without ever appenring to consider the morality of the means which it employs? Will they permit it to absorb, suc- essively, the whole continent of America, and 4o form a ion by the side of which the most powerful States of Europe would appear as ridiculous pigmies? Will they consent that it shall consolidate its rich conquests, and make them the base of operations from which to invade in succession the States of Central America, where are to be found some of the most maguificent harbors in the world? Will they permit it, without obstruction, to reach the Isthmus of Panama—its golden dream—and thus yield to it one of the principal keys to the commerce of the globe ? ‘Time alone can answer these questions,; but the his- tory of the past affords us but little comfort for the fu- ture, Within this century the Union has acquired, suc- ceanively, the Floridas, Louisiana, and Texas, and it in now about to acquire the Californias and some of the richest provinces of Mexico. Who shall fix limits to the power of the active race which peoples it? Let it once extend to Panama, and its might will be irresistible. It will hold the dominion of the seas; it will monopolize the commerce of the whole earth. And when the English language is spoken on all the shores of the Mexican Gulf, what human power will be sufficient to prevent the Island of Cubaand the English Antilles from falling by their own movement, and the impulses of irresistible attrac- tion, into the arms open to receive them ? The schooner T.:B, Odell, arrived | yesterday from Brazos St. Jago, brought two companies, B and K, Ke tucky volunteers, numbering 120 men, under the com- mand of Capt. Chambe: The English View of the Guerilla Warfare in Mextoo. [From the London News, May 11.} The only hopes that now remain of Mexico's success in preserving her independence and avoiding the Anglo- American yoke, consist in the chances of guerilla war- fare. It is, indeed, almost the only kind of warfare in which the Spanish race con successfully measure itself with the more disciplined or more staunch soldiers of European countries-—-of whom the morate, or confidence in their superiority, is at the highest piteh The whole history of the Peninsular war shows hew vainly the Spaniards trusted to their regular armies and how much might be achieved by guerillas: not but that the Spanish army did at times display both skill and courage The Mexicans, in their advance towards Sal- tillo.seem to have shown both. We have as yet but Ame- rican accounts of these actions ; and it is evident; that, however indisputable the victory of the Americans, it was dearly bought As to cities or strongholds on the coust, they could not be expected to hold out. Santa Anna, who had defended Vera Cruz against a French force, evidently abandoned the idea of making the expe- riment a second time. Nor was it to be expected that either Vera Cruz or 8. Juan d’Ulia should offer atub- born or prolonged resistance, when no Mexican arwny or general hovered near, as in past times, to create diver- sion or afford relief. ‘The only circumstance that excites suspicion is the time taken by the American general to master the city, ‘The desperate means which he employed evince his cau- tion and hix fears. And the brilliant coup de main of the Prince of Joinville in those streets, and the cay of the town without the destruction of property and life, and that, too, without other than a marine force, offer a contrast between the French prince and the American general, very much to the disadvantage of the Intter., je capture of Vera Craz and its castle makes no change, however, inthe prospects of the war. ‘The series of engagements between Saltillo and St. Luis de Potosi are more eonclasive; chey decide the inutility of Mexi- gan meeting Anglo-American in the open field, and the hopelessness of trusting to regular troops or tactics. The defence of Mexico must be of another kind. It must be a repetition of those efforts which freed the country of the Spanish armies, which raised every province in gue- rillas, which induced the priests to py and to feed, the better classes to lead. the Indian aud the peasant to turn marksman and marauder. The chief hope for Mexican independence is, that the late battles may prove effective analesson, and that the Mexicans may offer no more such ehances. Letters from the country state with con- sternation that there are few cannon to defend the passes which lead from the low growud to the table land, and that the Americans will not meet with many obstacles to their 1, But, with a view to guerilla warfare, the Mexicans ought to admit, nay, entice, the Americans into the very bowels of the land. The road to the eapi- tal or to the interior should be thrown open to them. ‘The Americans will then have to keep open communi- cations, levy contributions, and exasperate the popula. tion by taking their supplies. There is no party amongst the Mexicans now inclined to turn traitor, lista, who existed as a party before the war, and then favored America, have disappeared sinee the invasion, and whatever men are uppermost in Mexico are united in the one great purpose of resistance, Notwithstanding his character, blackened by calumny, Gomes Farias, chief of the democratic party, seems to have shown sufficient onergy during his rule. He provi- ded for Santa Anna the fands and supplies requisite for trying his fortune and that of the country in a regular campaign. The attompt of Farian to tax the olergy in hia extremity was bold and just. He has fallon a victim to their resentment. ‘And henoeforth there ean scarcely be such a thing as a government levying taxes and undertaking defence. ‘Theso duties must be performed by the people them- solves. And if Santa Auna be staunch and wise, he will abandon the hope of defending the capital by « regular army, and by pitched battles, which his manifesto seems to promise, but take measures for dissominating resist- anco, so that on their advance the Americans might find neither government, nor army, nor authoritics, but active bands of destroyers, not in front, but on both siden of the line of mareh and operations. The possession of the capital did not make the old Spaniards masters of the country—why should it render the Americans so ? ‘The Anglo-Americans may conqugr xico, but can- net remain masters of it, or even conclude « satisfactory treaty with it, unless through the medium of some influ- ential party. None that exist seem able or willing to play such « Santa Anna declines—the democrats abhor it. The Federalists would denationalize them- selves by attempting it.
