The War

Lust week we stated that we had no suffiolent dnla from which we could jiulgc whetlier the Mejican nation would submit to our dictation and sue for penco, or carry on an exlcrtninnting nnd long continue.! warfare. From the beginning of the oontest, however, we have leaned to the lnst opinión. The news of' tliis week seems to show that sach is their settled policy. The Mexican papers ai'e unanimous on the subject : and at the special session of the Mexican Congres?, immediately subsequent to the butle of Cerro Gordo, a preamblo and eight resolutions were adopted, setting forth the finn determinotion of the nation to carry on the war in spite of all reverses, and declaring that every agreement or t'-eaty which may bo made by any revolutionary government with the U. Slales shall bo nul! and void, and every person making such treaty or agreement, not duly oulhorized by the e.xisiing government, shall be deemed a traitor, and in case Congress cannot sit, a commiltee sh;ill exercise their povers. The adoption of the guerilla morle of warfare seems to be intended by the Mexicana, nnd if gone into thoroughly will prove a source of gieat annoyance and more or less loss to the American army.
