NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, October 12, 1847, = = = ‘What is tobe done with Mexteo? The question of most absorbing {imterest at_ present is, with what view is the war to be con- tinued? [t cannot be to conquer a peace, except by a pacification of the whole country; and uni- versal pacification is but a preliminary step to universal annexation. Is the war to be continued without any other object than to repel force? or is it tobe continued for the purpose of adding the whole territory of | Mexico to the United States? It cannot be but for the latter purpose ; at all events, it cannot be without that result. It is not reasonable to hope that peace will be gained | by a limited prosecution of the war, or om @ | prosecution of it based upon the motive of con- | quering» a peace. All that delusion is past, and | now we have two courses—either to withdraw | our troops altogether, or to continue the war with an avowed determination to occupy the whole of Mexico. There is no middle course. The administration has yet adopted no resolve, nor would it be proper to do so in the absence of all official information with regard to the failure of negotiations. But it is useless to conceal that the question is mooted in the cabinet,and that already with the deliberative board of that body the question has ceased, from familiarization, to be the bugbear that it was. Nay, it would not be extravagant to say that a majority of the body are prepared to s nction the entire subjuga- tion of Mexico, shou!d the official representa- tions of our commissioner and the general-in- chief of our army holds out a little prospect of an early and pacific adjustment of our difficulties, asdo the Mexican accounts we have received.— The occupation of the entire country, with a view to its permanent retention, is regarded as a political necessity from which it is now impossi- ble for us to escape if we would. There is a middle course, but it leads directly to one of the two extremes—that is, to the total subjugation and occupation of the country. That middle course is, to maintain in Mexico an army that will overawe resistance, appropriate all the revenues, establish a purely military gov- ernment, and hold the country until Mexico shall volunteer to comply with the demands of this country. But the issue of this will be, whether this government wish it or not, that before Mexico will assent to our terms, the country will be overrun by citizens of the United States, who will never consent either to leave their posses- sions there, or yet to live under Mexican laws; so that it will be impossible that Mexico can ever again attain the position of an independent sovereign nation. Now it is morally certain that the President will recommend this middle course in his next annual message to Congress. He will do so with an entire consciousness of the result to which it will lead, and doubtless not without a desire to produce that result—not that he would not gladly put an end to the war now, even on the terms lately offered by Mr. Trist; but that he probably sees no prospect of bringing it to a termination, except by the entire subjugatifn and annexation cf the country. The organ of the President still waxeth gtosser in its grossness. It berates the Mexie cans by the column, for our victories over them; calls them all sorts of vile names, and labors seduously to tarnish the glory of our arms by stigmatizing our foes, whom our generals have seen fit to treat with chivalric and punctilious courtesy, as a ‘‘de- based race.” It is to be hoped that the | whigs, for the honor of the country, will | not attribute to the administration—to any ad- ministration that could attain power in this re- public—a participation in this most indecent ab- jurgation of a vanquished enemy—at such atime, too, as the present, when half the land is in mourning, either real or anticipated, for the | lives lost in this sad struggle. The organ can- | not be patriotic without “being vulgar; but its | vulgar sentiments should not be regarded as the sentiments of the administration. | | | | ‘Tue Case or Pavr. Brunt acarn —By the pa- | pers in this case. it appears that on motion to the special term of the Supreme Court, held before Judge Edmonds, and after a full hearing, and solemn consideration of the case, it was decided | apparently well drilled company, pi granted to a court by added at the end of its orders, in effect to nullify its own decision? What certainty is there of a decision, when after it is publicly delivered, it can, by the fiatiof the Judge, gtanted ez parte, be narrowed, qualified, changed or rendered nuga- tory, for the purpose of a virtual appeal to other members of the same court sitting a9 another branch of it?) Where is the authority for this? This is enough relative to the case of Bruni. | EixcTion IN PgNxsyLvanta takes place | a erga! are four candidates in the field for | the office of Governor.

The weather was dry, though some of the plantations had turned out fair crops of smgar, say one thd. per acre. Heautu or tux Ciry.—There were two hun- dred and fifty-one deaths in this city last week. ~ City Inteluig: ‘Tue Wearnun —Yesterday was another remarkably fine fall day, and Broadway was thronged, in every di- rection, with fasbionables, many of whom visited the Fair on foot. The “oldest inhabitant” stated last eve- ning on ’cbange, that we had from “Jack Frost,” in the early part of th To ae LavscHxo.—The bewutiful ship Wisconsin will be lnunohed this morning, at balf-past 10 o’clook, as we have already noticed, from the yard of Jabez Williams & Son, Williamsburg Lavrcuep.—A splendid schooner, of 250 tons, called the Sea Witch, was launched yesterday from Bishop & ard. She is owned by Messrs, Johnson & Lowden, of this city, and intended for their line of New York and Baltimore packets. This is, we believe, the largest vessel ef her rig ever built in this olty, and her model is one that bids futr to rival in speed her beautiful and successful predecessor—the Sea Witch of the Can- ton trade. ‘Aw to New Onuxans.—Annoxed is a list of the sub- soribers to the Howard Assoolation of Louisiana, for the relief of the sick, collected by H.

Brooxiys Liant Guanps.—This well appointed and our office yes- terday morning about 10 o’clock, on an excursion, and were headed by a very superior brass band. ‘Their uni- form and general appearance was highly creditable to our sister city. The Brooklyn Light Guards area fine looking body of men. Fine Comrany.—The Turk’s Island Guards, fire com- ny, escorted by the Willet Guards, passed through that Judge Drinker, though a state officer, is pro hac vice, an officer of the United States, deriving | all his authority from the United States, acting | under a law of the United States in execution of & tueaty, and that the Court had no authority to review his actions. ‘That whether his power to act is conferred on him individually by name, or by virtue of his local office, he is an officer of the United States in that case, amenable only to its tribunals ; and the motion was publicly announ- ced by the Court as denied, and so stated at the foot of the opinion of the Court, and it was sup- posed that the clerk had entered a general order | accordingly. But after the decision, Judge Edmonds, onan | ex parte application of Bruni’s counsel, allowed | a clause to be added to the order entered on the | decision, in effect, ‘that the order was to be | without prejudice to any new application for the same writ, upon the same or other papers’,at a ge- | neral term of the Court.”” And thereupon, on a part only of the same papers, an ex parte applica- tion was made to the Court at general term for | the same writ, and it was granted. Onthe oppo- | s site counsel discovering that these ex parte pro- ceedings had been taken, enquiry,we understand, was made of Judge Edmonds on the subject, to which he answered, that the clause added to the order was allowed ex parte, after the decision inade, to allow virtually an appeal from his de- cision; but that he did not intend to allow at gen- eral term the motion to be made on part only of the papers; that he had already refused to hear Brani’s counsel ex parte on that motion, and di- rected him to give notice to the French govern- ment ; and after the appearance of their counsel, and argument against it, he had deliberately decided it; he did not allow him ez parte, and on part of the papers only, to reverse the solemn de- cision of the Court. On these facts, a motion was made to the Court at general term, to set aside the writ, on the ground of irregularity ; and after argument, the latter motion was refused by the Court, no reason being assigned, except that the Court considered it regular. Let us see if this decision is tenable:— In virtue of the rule of the court, No. 49, this is one of that class of motions called non-enu- merated motions; and by rule 56, non-enumera- ted motions are to be noticed for the first day of term or sitting of the court, by a notice of at least eight days, and the notice shall not be fora later day, unless sufficient cause be shown and contained in the affidavits served; and by rule 57, these motions are to be heard on the first day and Thursday of the first week, and Friday of the second week of the term. The motion in this case was made on neither of these days, and without notice, after asolemn decision of the same court at special term, and on part only of the papers, contrary to the understanding of the Judge in allowing the order to be entered with- out prejudice. Was this regular? As respects the clause last mentioned to the order, “without prejudice,” was this valid? ‘The laws define when, and to, and from what courts appeals shall be made, and in what cases. Is there any authority for a virtual appeal from the special term (one hranch of this court) to the general term, (another branch, having only the same power as the special term) in the mat- | died by small pox, 1; died by remittent fever, roadway, Bowery, ko. ke Legs ores le an imporog appecrance. ‘They were accompanied by avery excellent band, and both companies made a most respectable turn out. A Founpuinc.—Yesterday morning, as Mr. Knauer, proprietor of a meat shop at the corner of Bedford and Commeree streets, at a very early hour, was crossing the | street, he heard the cries ofa child, and proceeding to | the stoop of No. 77 Bedford street, he discovered | tifal new-born female infant, apparently not six hours | old, with little or no covering, and exposed almost naked | tothe cold winds of heaven. It was taken to Mrs Knaur, who, with the feelings of a mother and those of humanity, dressed, provided and eared for it. A lady who was not blest with an offspring, has taken the child and willadopt the same. Fine.—A fire occurred at No, 43 Wall street, last eve- ning about 10 o’clock.

The dancing of the Viennolse Children is still, and will no doubt continue ag jong as they are in the country, to be # card which is gure to receive appro. bation. Mr. Hackett, too, is still remembered by his | many friends. To night we are to be entertained by the performance of the same artists. Mr. Hackett | will appear as Monsiour Mallet, in the “Post{Ofloe Mis- take," and a5 O'Callaghan, in the admirable comedy of | “His Last Legs.’ The children will danse the Pas des | fleurs, in which forty-two of them appear ; the“ Polka Puysanne” will be given by twenty-four of their number and “ Le pas des Moissonn-urs,” by the wholefforty-eight; | “Love im Livery” will be performed, in which Mr, | Chapman sings his favorite comio song of “ Hark the | Wedding.” Here, then; there is another bill which will not fail to attract dience worthy of our fashionable resort. The theatrical season is now fairly open, and the Park, with such bills as those of the present week, end those which are im prospective, cannot fail to have a full share of public patronage. Boweay Turatax —The triumphs of old Rough and Ready in the war with Mexico, were re-enacted last evening at the Bowery, beforeas large an audience as the house could comfortably contain. The usual num- ber of Mexicans were killed, and the usual quantity of ‘epplause bestowed on the victorious Americans, after every battle. This piece raises the ardor of the poople who see it,to the highest point, and we would not be sur- prised if a regiment of willing reorults for the war could be raised from among the young men who have seen it, ifnecessary, It will be performed again this and every evening during the week. The friends of Mr. Waldron, the gentlemanly and obliging treasurer of the Bowery, must bear in mind that} his benefit will take place soon, and must hold themselves in readiness to ,ive him what he deserves—a regular bumper—* Monterey” and * Jack Sheppard,’ will be the bill on the occasion. i Cuatnam Turatax.—The drama entitled the “Bridge of Kehl, or the Soldier and his Son,” was performed at the Chatham Theatre last evening, to # very good au- dience, and we are sure that peak the sentiments of all who saw it, when we say that it isa highly interest. ing and attractive picce,as much #0 as any that has been produced there for s long time. It embraces many thrilling and exciting scenes, which cannot fail to move the hearts of the audience. It embraces love scenes, death scenes, and scenes of filial affection and paternal love, that engage the beholder, and cannot be viewed ithout exciting pleasant emotions. Its success was esmplete, We understand that it will be repeated this evening, as will alo the serio-comio pantomime of “Don Juan, or the Libertine Destroyed.” Circus, Bowery Amruitueatae —There is a full company of equestrian and other performers at this place of amusement, and to-night they will all appear in their best pieces. The mock heroic of “Santa Anna's Retreat” has become very popular, and the drolleries of John Gossin and Mr. Conover tickle the fancies of the audiences wonderfully. Mr. B. W Carroll and the in- fant Mise Hadigan perform some of their choicest feats, and what with still yaniting, negro singing, dancing, ko., the evening is passed pleasantly away. Cunisty’s Minstnets.—The programme this evening is a very good one indeed, and is divided intothree parts, each one different from the other; thus—the first con- sists of miscellaneous negro songs; the second, of those more particularly displayirg the characteristics of the Southern plantation negroes, whilst the last is devoted to musical and burlesque dancing performances. This company is patronised very extensively. Ermiorcan Seavnapens.—These amusing darkies are Progressing well in their soirees. The nature of their songs and music is such, that they never pall on their | audience’s taste. The familiar tunes of a “ Life by the Galley Fire,” “ Wild Racoon Track,” “Old Dan Tuck- er,” * Pioayune Butler,” &o., are so thoroughly settled as favorite ones, that every body loves to them. Major Dumbolton deserves creait for the manner in which he regulates these performances. Turan Concert or Mrsans. Herz anv Sivont.—These distinguished artists gave, last eveni», grand enter- | tainment which drew the largest and the most brilliant audience we have ever seen at the Tabernacle. The | ative company, numbering about three thousand per- sons, and perhaps more. We never witnessed more enthusiasm, and it is not astonishing, when we roflect | upon the contemptible attacks with which Sivori was | abused lately. The universal applause of the persons present was the most agreeable reward and the sweetest revenge of all these silly and malicious criticism: Let us say at once, that Camillo Sivori never played so-finely in New York. His first piece, “Le Rondo Russe,”’ from De Beriot, he executed wonderfully. It is crowded full of difficulties, which become beauties by the triumph of their execution. Sivori imparted to the cante- bile passages grace and sweetness, expression and athos, which were completed by the delicious sing- | fog of his violin. ‘The public acknowledged this ada. rable atyle by repeated bursts of approbation during the | piece, and by thunderlike applause at its end. Tho se- cond’ novelty played by the grand maestro, “ La Melan- | colle,” was, if possible, more successful than the “Rondo | Ruste.” Its effects are newest, its contrast more strik- lng; It presents an ensemble of simplice and grandiose only within the reach of the greatest performers.

It concluded the first part of the concert, which was very delightful. M.Herz h d also an eminent share in the triumph of jest evening; his “ Rondo Pastorale,” on. mofiver from “Norma,” is one of the shining and fragrant flowers of the wreath of his compositions; he performed it ins masterly manner ; so he did with the | variations on “Lucia di Lammermoor.” This elegant | composer, whose deigté and execution are beyond any description, was received with « real frenzy, and several Mr ands honored bim with very pretty ‘bouquets — jadame Fleury Joly sang « grand aris from “Corquato | Casso,” to which a il the solence | in the music: , which she prefesses.

Da- | breuil,our favorite barytone, rendered also. with great talent, the serenadaand thecansone, from “Don Giovan- | ni.” He was received with the warmest applause. For Mrs. Eastoot, she has not precisely a method—her voice is not very strong; she only sings swoetly.— M Paige and Herr Hecht were tolerable. Rapetti and the orchestra were remarkably good. At the end of the concert, after Sivori hud played “Le Melano lie, the perple rose up, and shouted such a tremendous “calling out,” that the famed maestro, though very fatigued, was obliged to come forward, and he then executed the “Car- nival of Venice,” as it was been composed by Paganini. ‘We had occasion to say before that we had heard tho ge nd composer, and we assure our readers that Camillo | music of his saw hand: breaking upon the benches, ete, | witnessed such an unparal- | | letlea triumph, rejoice in it, for Sivori is in | every respect worthy of such # demonstration. Madame Anna Bishop's troup», consisting of the strongest Italian and English company as « whole, have ever had, make their first appearance on Moni next at the Park theatre. Mr. Reeve, the excellent Eng- lsh tenor, and Mrs. McFarren, of whom report speaks by as acontralto, will make their debut either in ““Einda.” ia English, or“ Norma,” in Italian, De Beguis and Valtellini, are also of the troupe, and will 9) “La Barbiere.” Mr. Bocksa, although the musical di. | rector and arranger, hes so high an opinion of the talent | of Mr. Chubb, the present leader, that to him will be confided the charge of the opera at night.

The elegance of their positions and beauty of their motions have been praised so often, both in Europe and Americ, that nothing new can be said of their merits in this respect. There is as much difference in gymnastic performances as in stage readings of the drama. The very povtry of Poste attitude may be produced, or the performer may be a mere tumbler. ‘The development of classic beauty is the effect of the practice and careful study; grace is indeed They have received solid proofs the hands of the nobility of Europe, that their own countrymen will not fail to show that thi re of the beautiful is no means exotic. ve not seen Mr. R, ant his beautiful boys, will do well to visit him to-night, as ured. as they may be, that on the oocasion of their ben- will use their best endeavors to merit approba- .To those who have seon them, wo are certain there is no need of argument to induce them togo again.

(From the New Orleans Pica: anne 2) ’ In the absence of later arrival from seat of war, we have again glanced over our files of required by 22 Ji aes Des, andes them several items of interest which we looked. T! ehiefly taken from the Disro Go- bierno. rowan Ble ‘ox which to the 11th ult. was feceiv- ed im Vora Crus by the Arco Iris, and we o stoic file from the 30th of August to the Sth ultimo, inclusive, ourselves. | "Gente Anna’s efforts, after notice had been given of | the termination of the armistice, to prepare for the de- fence of the capital, are represented as having been truly igious. It is stated tnat he purc! from his private purse all the arms he could find, and the edi- tor of the Diario in his paper of the 10th adds, that he had seen the day before a receipt for a very large sum of money paid by ‘the general-in-chief, himself, for s num- ber of muskets, and 64,000 flints, for the emmy. “Add | this,” says the Diario, evidently considering it a tri- umphant vindication of Santa Anna's, fidelity to his country, “to the treasons of which he is accused by the notorious D. Ramon Gamboa.”” ‘The Diarto of the 10th, speaking of the demonstra- tions made by our army on that morning, says that at the alarm the troops in the ospital marched out to de- fend oo rant threatened with the greatest alacrity and played an ardor that promised the best results. It was impossible, it is added, to describe the enthusiasm of the people, all shouting “Liberty and Independence '” and declaring their intention never to succumb to the ruthless foe. We find translated in the Diario an intercepted letter from our army, describing the battles of Contreras and. Churnbusco. "in the letter it ls stated that our loss was about 1000, while that of the enemy was not less than 2000 killed and wounded. The editor cites this letter, as an evidence of the proneness of the Americans to exag- the Mexican loss and underrate their own. In two battles, he adds, ‘our loss does not exceed 1000, but that of the enemy cannot be leas than 2000.” We know that the letter was at least correct in its state- ment of our loss. Inn editorial in the Diario of the 4th, F. M. ha- uibel, at Toluca, the Governor of the State of joo, if not positively accused of treason is, at least charged with being favorable to the Americans, The only evi- dence we find adduced to support this accusation is that he sold corn to our troops at his hacienda ofSan Nicoles Peralta, in the vicinity of the capital. As this, however, took place during the armistice, which peas that the American forces should be aliownd to obtain supplies in and about the capitel, it is difficult to seo how it could be swelled into the charge that is made. Reference ia made, though, to an address issued by him to tne peo- ple of the State, as Governor which it is intimated, was ofa character that forbade its publication, It is to this address then, we suppose, he owes his in the eyes of the government editor; and the willingness of fate or to exchange hia corn for American dollars might have been overlooked by a Mexican if the addres: had been palatable food. His great crime consisted in defending Valencia, and in alleging that if Santa Anna had gone to the assistance of that general at Contreras the result mp ois have-been different. 1 omens of the baie at be Mill del Rey, on tte a ., the government paper is extravagant in its lauda- tions of the characters of Gen. Auta, de Leon and Col Lucas Balderas of the battalion of Independencis, both of whom were mortally wounded in the engage- ment. Gen. Leon, it is stated, was several times gover- norand military commandant of the State of Qsxana, towhich he had rend. red eminent services. He was also a veteran of the war of independence Col. Balde- ras is spoken of in a manner that few Mexicans deserve. “He never,” it is auld,“ was acharge upon the treasury, and was alwaye in the front ranks opposing the enemies of his country, to which he consecrated ull that nan can oe his life. The teara of all good Mexicans will water is grave. it will be remembered that immediately upon the ar- mistice being agrevd upon, the Mexioan Secretary of State issued a proclamation calling upon Congress to meet, to consider with the President the proposition of Mr. Trist. This proclamation was dated, the 2ist Au- gust, but although some few met every day up to the 4th ult , in no instance over thirty could duced to at- tend thesittings, and a quorum therefore was never as- sembled. None of the seventy members who declared they would not deliberate im the capital while it was threatened by our army, and retired to Toluca, appear- ed at any of the meetings. A great ado is made in the Diario about some yolun- ary donations transmitted to the treasury by the in- habitants of the mining district of Chico, to assist the government in prosecuting the war,-and no less than a Page of the paper is filled with the official co rrespon- denoe on th ibject, The whole amount transmitted was $204! ‘We have before us a fleroe reply from Vulencia to the report of General Salas, of the battle ot Contreras. The part of the report tha: roused the ire of Valencia, was the statement that he disappeared from among his troo) a8 soon as the battle commenced on the morning of 20th of Ai and was never seen after. He claims in this reply to have been present during the wi 1le battle, and that he only left when he found it imposstble to ral- ly his troops. Salas, Valencia says, saw all bis efforts, and in return for his unkind insinuations, charges him with an attempt to cover his own di in bel Ly prisoner by traducing his commander. Valencia sa} “ Ifthis gentleman has allowed himself to fall into activity, it was owing to bis feeding his apprehensions at the moment of danger, or to his little skill {n horsem: ship, and want of valor to leap alittle ditch by which he could have reached the village of San Geronimo.” This {s a hard hit to » Mexican, for to touch his horsemanship — touching the sweep’s honor—death were prefera- It will‘be remembered that during the negotiations the Mexican commissioners in a communication to Mr. ‘Trist, giving as ® reason for their refusal to consent to the cession of New Mexico, seid : “ Sentiments of honor ‘| and delicacy, which the noble character of your excel- lency will know how to appreciate, as well as motives of interest.prevent our Government from conaenting to the dismemberment of New Mexico,” and it was intimated that Mr. Trist had been made acquainted with the specific character of these sentiments and motives. We fiad them related in the instructions of the Mexican of State, on which the ultimatum of the com- missioners was based, and trauelate them: The government could not, even with t! probation of Congress, agree to give up New Mexico, whose inha- bitants have manifested a wish to make a part of the “Mexican family, with more enthusiasm than any otner portion of the republic. These well deserving Mexicans, abandoned to their fate by several admivistrations ; fre- quentiy without any protection, even against the incur- sions of the Indians, have been truly patriotic Mexicans; because, for ing their domestic grievances, they have only remembered on this occasion thet they are and wish to bea part of our iamlly.

THE ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY OF MEXICO. [From the New Orleans Delta, Oct. 1 ] In conversing with an intelligent officer, who express- ed in very strong terms his conviction that those who condemn Gen. Scott for not entering the city, after the victory of Churubusco, did so without a ful hang ters of the difficulties of the undertaking, we were forcibly impressed with « statement of his in tion to t'.e very reat impedimefits aud perils in storming a city Mike Rlextco The city of Mextoo {s ouilt in the centre of a lake. which we believe is nearly dried up, and the ov); approaches to it are ove. causeways from one and a haif to two miles “ol These *e defended by strong bat- teries, manned by a large. ny, and the henda of the streets into which the cause. vs run are also barricaded and defended by cannon Hs. General Scott advanced upon the city, he would have lost fully a half of bis army, aod added to the losses he bad already {ocurred in the battles of Contreras and Churubusco, would have been severely crippled, if not placed hors du combat. jesidee, we have already seen the proclamation of Gen. Herrera, calling on the people of the oity to avail them- selves of all the means of defence they oan lay their hands on; to burl stones from the tops of the houres; to pour boiling water and hand-grevades on the invading foe—in other 1s, to imitate the devotion of the Buenos Ay 8, or they destroyed the English under Gen, ‘hitelock. Such is the defence of Gen. Scott's conduct in agreeing to the armistice after the battle of Churubusco, made by 8 brother soldier and admirer of the General Without entering into the discussion of the frpetingy. of the ar- mistioe, there is one inference which wo think we may safely deduce from the foregoing argument, It lv the improbability of the heavy loss which Gen. Scott is re- by the Mexican ors. which came over on the James L. Day, to have inourred before he had taken the city. [tis very Se ae that Gen Scott would at- tempt to storm a of 5 Mong well defended against such a movement, when he has it in his power to accomplish ita fall by the safe and little destructive mode of bombard- ment, against which the city has no defences We think. therefore, that Gen.
