To hold these posts safety, to retain posseissidd,of the seaport we now belie, (if that thouldfaß:within the policy,) and to pile vent incursionsinti) the territories which we might appropriate to outselves, would, in rry opinioh, require a force as urge as woeld shffice so maiii taM What we nnw 'oecupy, and to carry our opera. tions *till further ,the interior al the enemy ls country, and makOim feel the c a lamities of war in a way best caleillated to Inducclaim to seek for peace., l But if in Vats lam mistaken, and the lige policy should enable unto reduce the number df our troops, still, itbwill not, as I Onceive, thereby effect a reduction dr our actual expenditures for the war. "In consequence l of the intemiption of inter course between thitseaports in our! possession and the central parts al Mexico, the collections on MI ports have hithertil been incoiisi erable. If thi line policy is adopqd, this intercourse will con tin; ue to be interruptul, and, consequently, the re• mots 'of revenue fr from this source wilt he.small', 'Toiler the operiStlon of the linelpolicy, all ex PISTOL • • .11.0 - •, - - • Yir I t~...t:~:~: pectations of leuening the Auden of sustaining onr troops, by deriVing supplies and contributions from the enemy,swoult! disappointed.

But, were it O#ierwise, as our posts would be re mote from the- wealth and resourceiof the 'iountry, the amount which could be obtained would be in considerable. "So far from deriving advantage from the line policy, by way of obtaining assistance , from the recourses of the enemy, towards the support of our troops, we should, 1 apprehend, confei updp a por tion of the people of Mexico a direct benefit; by opening.to them at our posts a market,;iti- which we should become the purchasersof their products at an exhorbitant price. These considerations, without bringing into view others, have lest me to look to one of the other modes of operation.l have mentioned, as preferable to that of occupying an indemnity line. "In regard to the second mode suggested—that of occupying the whole country—the wide extent of territory embraced in the Mexican republic, the many important points to be garrisoned, And the long lines of communication to be kept open, pre sent difficulties of no ordinary magnitude, if our occupancy is to be of such a character as to super sede the Mi xican authority, and require the tem porary establishment of civil government. In car rying this plan onto effect, it would.not bereason able to rely upon the favorable dispositiou,;Cireven neutrality, of any considerable part of the Mexican people, until some assurance•of the stabilitY of our power was derived from its continuenca. Ohr posts must therefore be strong, and our forces numerous, in order to secure the many and long lines of coin mnnications, to disperse and chastise the &Jstine bands which would obstruct them, and to siippress , the more powerful uprisings of the people, where ever they may be attempted. I cannot safely esti mate the force requisite to carry into fullteffect this plan, at less than seventy thousand med; To insure the presence of that number in the ertemy's country, and at places - where they would be,,want ed, it would be necessary to raise a much :Jarger force. The great expense of raising, orgaOlzing, and sending to their remote destination so Virge a body of troops as soon as needed, to give 4*ct to this plan, would. I apprehend, bring a veryieavy, and perhaps embarrasing demand upon the treas ury. The third mode presented is, in my judOnent, preferable to the others. Beyond certain A - mita, it admits of expansion and contraction i.bt4l, as a fixed condition, all now held is to be retaine,d, and no part surrendered, but in compliance witistreaty stipulations. This plan also contemplates I;:arther acquisitions, extending to other important, points, more or less numerous, as circumstances.: may warrant. •4t "Notwithstanding our victories haveTalleit with crushing weight upon the assembled. artistes MI Mexico, most of those who hold in their hinds the derision of the question of peace, hive atoefil be yond the range of the physical evils inflicted by the war.

The Secretary proceeds to state the numLer and character of the troops that would be reqo,site for the purpose.

IRELAND Accounts which have been received from Ireland during the past fortnight, continue to create, in the minds of all peaceably disposed people, serious alarm. The terrors of "Captain Rock" and the murderous mandates of "Lady Clete," are carried out to a greater extent than ever. Among the recent assassinations we have to record the foliar ing:—A poor, inoffensive widow, named Keros, was barbarously trybnlered In a field, adjoining her residence at Boherbee,' near Borresligh, county of Tipperary, on the 2d inst. A Major Mahon was shot dead on the same evening, near strokestown, in the county of Roe common. • A poor- man,-named Michael Welsh, steward stut. , ,caretaker- to Charles 'O'Callaghan, Esq., of Ballynahinch, in the county of Clare, was murdered on the high road near Fort Anne, by a ball which carried away the roof his skull. There are several othtr miirdera recorded, but we forbear the further augmentation of such an atrocious list. It appeals that the resistan:e to the payment of rent, has manifested itself in the North as well as in the South. The county in Ulster thus noted for its illegal combination against the claim of land.. lords, is Fermanagh. There still continues a combined movement a gainst the payment of rents and taxes. The Ne nagh Guardian, of a late date, has the following: " Mr. James Sammon, poor rate collector for the e lectoral divisions of Borisokane, Cloughjordan and Arderoney, was, on Friday week, assaulted at Gar ryard, while in the act of serving notices for the payment of the rate. He was prevented by a large number of persons from issuing the notices. Four persons are to abide their trial at the ap proaching Nenagh quarter sessions, charged witti the assault. A letter from Dublin, of the 16th, states that the treasurer of Fermanaugh had been shot and killed in his otvn house, a day or two before, and a continuance of similar outrages is mentioned. The Lord Lieutenant has lulled a proclamation, calling attention to the state of the country, and appealing to all classes to put down assassination. RUSSIA According to the latest intelligence from 111ns , cow, the number of cholera patients in that city, on the morning of the 16th NOvember, amounted to 105: On the evening of the 17th of October, the timber of patients was 135, which is consider. ed an insignificant proportion for 300 .000 inhabi• tants.

The Ministerial crisis still continued, though on more than one occesiml; it appeared to have been terminated by the appointment of a liberal cabinet. Pittsburgh and Countßutile Railroad. The following article, which appeared in - the Ctirnmereial ..lotirnali. of yesterday. is ...copied by particular req nest We are authorized to state to those interested, that the Direclorsof the Pittsburgh and Cunnells ville Railroad Crimpany, DO feel at liberty to carry out the . Resolution of the Stockholders, passed at the meeting of . the oth inst., whereby the Stockholders who desire to get rid of their Stock, and obtain their pro rata of what remains of the funds unexpended by the former Board, can be relieved from further responsibility; but owing to the refusal ut Col. Robinson, W. M.lLyon, and others, to comply with the lawful requisition of the Stockholders and their Board of Directors, the President of the Company will probably not be able to fulfil the wishes of the Board, until Col. Robinson and the so called Directors of the pre , tended Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad Company, surrender the books, papers, money, and property of the Pittsburgh & Connellsville R R. Company into the hands of the lawfully elected Board, of which 11r. Larimer was chosen President, by an unanimous ote. Let Col Robinson, Mr. Lynn, and other:, here. tnfore representing a small minority of the Stock holders, but who now take a wrongful position against the whole company itself; comply at once with the law, and surrender the monies, books, &c., of the company, to the President and Direc tors of the Company, and we can pledge that Mr. Larimer at once comply with the R4olutions of the Stockholders, and the requisiiion of the Board. In the Gazette and Journal of Saturday there is an article assuming to speak the sentiments of the Board of Directors, which never was wen or author ized by them and which contains several errors and misstatements that It is proper to correct. As, for instance, it states that,at the Stockholder's meeting there were but SOO shares of stock voted, whereas the official returns show that u,Avards of 2400 shares were voted by TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY : - EIGHT Stockholders in person, or by proxy— wheieas, at The Aneeting of the disorganized minority, at Phild Ito, only about Ninety or One Hundred Stockholders voted in person and by proxy. Besides the wrongs that Co!. Robinson, & Co., inflict upon innocent stockholders, their position is one of extreme absurdity. Col. Lorimer: and the lawful board, knowing their position to be correct, are willirg to act the moment the movies. books and and papers come into their bands; but the for lions minority who,,onder Col. Robinson's advise ment, (not Mr. Binney's) claiin to be the company —refuse:to act, beedlist (now mark their reason,) they are afraid of "personal responsibility," and a simple notice from Wm. Lorimer, Jr, though not sufficient to induce them to yield the property and books of the Company into the legal custody of the legal Board, has bad the effect to • tie up the hands of the efficient Mr. Robinson, and alarm the very men who affect to consider ;he acts of Mr. Larimer and the. Board, over which he so ably and actively presides as nugatory. Does not the pres. ent conduct or Messrs. Robinson & Co., show con. elusively that they do nut themselves' believe what they themselves assert. While Mr. Larimer and the legitimate Board are ready to act as soon as they otain the books and money of the Company, we find Messrs. Rubinson & Co. are, notwithstand ing their possession of these prima facia matters, afraid to move one step. Are there no lawyers in Pittsburgh worthy of the confidence of Messrs. Rdbinson & Co.? or are they waiting for another Telegraphic opinion against them, from Mr. Bin. ney. Believing theraselves to be wrong, as their conduct shows them to be, the sooner those gen. tlemen relieve themselves from "personal respon sibility " to the laws and much injured public, the better,—by quietly, and with calm dignity, yield. ing the books end property to the Board of Direc tors of the .Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company, without the vexatious and expensive delays of law, they will entitle themselves to some consideratiyn, .and the Board of Directors will be disposed rather to attribute their past errors to mistaken notions of policy, than to a wilful purpose, to Wrong individuals and injure the public. • • The following toast was lately drank: 3 l.7ncle Sam—A respectable' branch of the Bull family.

Message of, the Govmu,,ir,of ruiiiiia.—From the message of Govenor Smith to the Virginia legis lature, we learn that the ordinary-receipts into-the Treaury dt ring the'present fiscal year, will,pay all ordinary demands thereon, including $974.343,75; the interest on the public debt, $95,38i 66 on ac count of public- roads,. and leave ith eitimate sur plus of about $145,00% A I.,tuil which. it is tinnium ed, will enable the . Boar d of Public- Works to meet all demands upon them without resorting to loads. The legislature, at their last session, pass ed acts which may increase the liabilities of the State in the sum of $2,887,800- Of this sum, a bout one fifth, has been, and a very large portion of the residue wilt have to be incnrred. The Gov-1 ernor suggests en enlargement of the public reven ues, assuming it as fixed determination of Virgin ia to carry on these improvements,-which are re- 1 'visite to develop and secure her resources and ad vantages; and recommends that the legislature es tablish $600,000 as a maxium annual limit of ex penditure for these objects and that appropriations shall under no circumstances, transcend that a mount. For'this sum, the Treasury be intimates, may be relieded upon for one moiety—the other moiety to be raised by loan. The present debt of Virginia is $6,447,445. of which $3,799,189 is held within the State. The Govenor is strongly in fa. vor of opening a communication With the pavi igable waters of the Ohio, looking to it as a means Of renovating the State. The Governor is opposed to scattering small banks over the State, and recommends that the act passed by the last Legislature authorizing a. bank at Martinsburgh, be repealed, wisely remark ing that the establishment of banks in the country repugnant to th'e soundest principles of politi cal econmy, and injurious to the best interests of society." This message is the first that has met our eye that has taken grounds against the usury laws; and, so far as Virginia is concerned, it urg es that they be repealed. Laws cannot prevent dealings in usury, as is attested by universal expe rience. The' needy will borrow; the usurious will-lend, and the certain effects of attaching pains anffpenalties to such transactions, are to swell the premium paid by the borrower, and to tempt him to become a dishonest man. Why should a price be fixed by law on money? It is a property pre cisely as is bale of cottftri or hogshead, of sugar, and fluctuates as they do in value. The Governor briefly, tho' forcibly, argues the question, clearly showing the immoral tendency of such laws, and their injurious effects on the business interest of society.—Ball. Son.
