Kklation wrra Mexico. The prospect of a war wilh Mexico Ins ca)lsl forth variotmopi. niona from various journals, bnt the best informed sre uniled in urging upon our government ths necessity of being prepared lo strike homo when it does strike, and not to count upon the weakness of lbs Mexicans for an easy victory The advice is not only oonciaved in good policy whirb would put in early period lo the war and tesch Mexico a lesson lo be remembered, but it is the leteon of caution which should cause us not lo despise an enemy loo much, lest defeat should corns when victory was expected A corres pondent of the Washington Union, who seems lo speak intelligently upon the subject, says I think we have calculated loo lightly on the resistance which Mexico will offer lo our occupation of Texas. Mexico has a very con tderable army on the frontier; and ths (Ulcer in comroiutl (Uenerol Arista) is active and brave, and can cross the intervening desert with his light cavalry, and commit immense damsgs, and retire again, without our presetting any obstacle to hi advance or his retreat, we have been induced lo believe the Mexicans to be cowardly, I am afra th.it we have trusted loo much to this belief. Arists had wilh him in Monterey, in March last, two Ibowauid three hundred cavalry, snd a battalion of six hundred runaway negroes from Texas, well drilled in flying srtil lery tactics, ready for marching.

"I should not be surprised if Mexioo should now have an army of fifteen thousand rsvalry and living artillery on the river between Eatnar go and Monclova, as we know well that all the troops who took part with Santa Anna have been sent North by the now government, while new troop (or tivieot) have taken their plsoes in Jalspa, Orixaba, Goada'ajara, Are. I do hope that our government will lum its attention eriouly lo this subject, and in lime; for it would be grievous to be worsted at the commencement by so weak government as that of Mexico. Arista is enterprising and ambitious, snd is by do mesne ignorant of the resources of this oountry. He baa lived for years in Cincinnati and other parts of the United Slates. War we shall have in the event of our occupation of Texas; and I hope it my not find us unprepared." Another correspondent of the same paper thus urges the same course.

What is meant by tending troops lo itftmi Tex at, should Mexioo attack her Carefully as I read your columns, I have not seen this point touched. If it has been, I have, by some accident, mimed Ihe article. Are we simply to rep the invasian, keeping this side of our own line If so, I fear we shall have tedious work on hand. The moment Mexico tend an invading force across the Rio Grande, or otherwise announces her belligerent attitude, she of course begins the war. She then becomes the actual aggressor iu arms, as she has already been in divers other gh handed ways, upon our rights.

From that moment the war is dtfnmvi on our tide but if we are merely lo rtvd a Mexican force, and not follow it over the boundary, we shall only be crippling ourselves, and giving the enemy an advantage. We enable him to recruit and rally in safety on hit own ground, to attack us again. The war being essMwsuttt'by Mexico, no matter how, sh lakes the whole responsibility of the fatal step, and the only way to defend ourselves effectually is to invade from our tide. It it lo be hoped thai loKre is no party in our country at thihday ready to revive Governor Strong's doctrine of the laet war namely, allow Ihe Bri tten to shoot down irom the lanada khore, un der scruple about oroasiug tne line. 1 hope you will not think it strange.

Mr. Edi tor, if, in the war Mexico may eutnpel us to wsue, I have bat one f. ar. That fenr i. that an Utputng Aer tso rA.

It iu never wite tn be looking only to the weakness of your ene my, uoou rareir comes oi mis. wni st evil bs a thousand Notwithstanding the irnomiuioui overthrow of her armv. hornied bv her boastful ruler, at Suit iscinto, the history tne Mexican struggle agaiut opam b.iunos in instacoesof successful, nottOMT beroie. valor and endurance, coupiro witn exiraord.nary rev moors. Let us not obliterate from our memory those portions of her bitlory which, under ve hement though false excitemeni at prevent, she might be driven to re enact, iners will (be no great glory in overcoming Mexico; but where shall we hide our head if we fail, even in the beginning, through ovsrsight, and, above all.

Irom despising ner unouiy tne recoil wouia be dreadful more so than when Hull surrendered a brave American army protected by a fortress, lo balf its numbers of motley English. By as much as I read in your paper ot tne acts of i the administration in regard to Texas, 1 make all favorable inferences at to its prudence aod energy: but I cannot be'p wishing that four times fifteen hundred troops were tent there, if we had 1 hem to tend it not iceu alone we are 10 defend, but tne right snd bouor of the Uniled Stale, now inrepsrtbly connected with Texas: and to defend both with double vitror. (tbe world now looting on,) since tne nragmati oa interference of France snd England to keep Texst from incorporation with our Union. Let me rem nd you that, in 1833, when the dttnute arose between Holland and Belgium at to the eon (til ion 01 ineir separaiioa on tne breskint on of the kingdom of the Netherlands. France, who look tbe part of Belgium, tent some seventy thousand of her best troops to drive buck the Dutch army, which wat not a third, if a fourth, of that number.

This put an end 10 the war at once, by expelling tne Dutch irom ine loniuiutliuna i nmwmp. vi wbiuu thev hid cot nossfseion. Far be it from me lo iuslifv that invasion by France and to our calm lit. JJ I. minded wntcs 1 wouia do aitputeu 10 sav, mink how Holland was treated, whose caute.

was good whilst, psssing over Ine long catalogue of grots wrong have had from Mtxuo, apart from the Texan question, il is now becom ing at apparent lo me a itpaeti untie world, ss a bus been lo our tdmininlralion, that her whole conduct toward Texas, since the battle of San Jacinto, bat been as contemptible for ut weak ness at ridiculous tor its ousnnacy. tt our land and naval forces move forward in ample hers, sons to act with certainty and eflect. noon her own territory, from the moment tbe tend troops not across the Nueces, but cross the K10 Uraude or otnerwnw Drains a wsr Wtm us, our government will nobly do its duty and with bul ibe mote humanity snd policy, in proportion as it acts vigorously. Congress, when aaaemhled. could nut fad to sanction the most derisive measure.

Think sgtin of the great body of French troops sent sgitnet so small a State at Holland, and wilh the Belgians co operating with Ibe French, in order lo render tuc cem certain, and ma war uun, uuwever unjustifiable. This it ever tbe best policy, when practicable Let me alto recall the conduct of England to ward Portugal in tM mg ot fortugal aVxHit that time at LUbon; hit eldest sun. Don Pedro being Emperor ot BraxiL be latter would have succeeded by rixbiful title to ibe nruara of Puriuial.but preferred remaining Em peror of Uratll, snd atrti' auta ms ciaun to ine of Fortucal in favor of hi daughter, Maria de Gloria, I be a a minor, tne potters ot government being vested in a regency until she should arrive at legal see.

But once more let me say, Mr. Editor, Ut nt brwvt of dtt fiting Aer toe ssncA.

Dales from Puerto Csbello, lo the 30tb July, have been received. The Hon. Vespasian Ellis, our minuter, las trnraitled our official communication to Ihe Secretary of Foreign Relations of the Venezue lan Government, relating lo the gh duties, which by the present tariff of ibis country are exacted upon dour and other articles imported from the Uniled States. He urges a reduction of rurb duties, and call Ihe attention of ihe Secretary lo tho fart of the liberal terms upon which the Uniled Stales allow Venexuelan pro duct to enter their port. He say: "Mr.

Manrique it aware of the fact, that coffee pays no import duty in the united stales, which it the principal production of Venezuela: and that only per cent is paid upon indigo, hides and other articles exported from (his country while this goven raent haa imposed a duty of tight per ttnt. upon flour, and ri)y to tevtnty per cent on itrd, ap, nutter and 01 ner important article introduced from Ihe Uniled States. The average rale of duties imposed upon other importation from the United States, including article that pay duties nnd those which are admitted free, amount to thirty four while the average rate exacted upon the production of Venrxuela, including Ibe article nhict to duty and ihosa ad mi lied free, tuount to lest than two and a half per eenttim. In other words venexuc a exacts from Ihe United Stale an tve rare rate of duly, fourteen timet higher than thai which Ihe Uniled States imposes upon the pro duction of Venezuela, being an average of their respective importation.
