The Washington Union has an article on this subject, from which we copy the following passa ges on account of the interest which will be at tached to them as coming from the official of the Administration ; This is not. on our part, a war of aggression; but to hasten its conclusion and to limit the loss of life and property, the territory of Mexico j must be reached by an American artny, so as to dictate those terms which will secure from us j future injustice and injury. The temporary possession of the soil of Mexico must decide j the fate of tho country, and our views should therefore be turned not only to ' the chastise. i ment of the array ,of Arista, and the blockade j of her ports, but to the bold and speedy occu ' pation of her strongholds !

The morning of the 11th be started back for his camp opposite Matamoras. We need not say that he and his army are in the highest spirits. ' The death of the gallant Major Ring gold has cast a gloom over the city of Baltimore which even the success of our jirms is not sufficient to dispell. The dis tinguished ollicer had resided in Balti more for a number of years past, and had made many warm friends, to whom the news of his death came with stunning ef fect. Nor is the feeling of grief on the part of our citizens less for the fate of the other bra've men whose lires were offer ed up on the same field in the service of t he i fco u n t ry . American. During the whole of the engagement, Col. Taylor remained on horseback, passing from point to point, cheering his men to jthej conflict, -j and exposed to the Indian rifle at evj?ry moment.. The spirit with which the commander? and all his force entered into the conflict, vias exhibited in some verses written on the occasion, by a soldier : ; . j I ' There's battle in yon hammock black, There's lightning in yon doud, , Hark ! hark ! to the music comrades d,ear, For the Indiairyell is loud ; j .For the Indian yell is loud, my boya And the rifle's flash is free ; : But the field of battle is our home, j , And happy, happy men are we ; j T And happy men are wcj' Jtci. For this battle, Mr. Poinsett, Secretary of War, rendered merited praise to all engaged, in his communication to Congressj The bre vet of Brigadier General was conferred on Col. Taylor, and ho was given the chief com mand in Florida; which he resigned in IB 10, after four or five years arduous and indefatiga ble service in the! swamps and hammocks of Florida. . . i; ? . ; After his retirement from Florida, he AVas assigned to the command of the 1st Depart ment of the Army, including the. States of liou isiana, Mississippi, Alabama, See. with his head quarters at Fort Jesup, Louisiana, j His position gave him the command of. the "Army of Occupation," but the usage of the service would have justified the Government in ass had been brought together from merd motives of curiosit y to behold a rare and novel Spectacle But they are busily employed in examining the qualities, inquiring the prices, and other cir cumstances attending the various specimens of manufactures ; thus enabling themselves, as American 1 citizens strongly interested in the question, by ascertaining the talua bf the Amer ican System, to act knowingly upon lit. This is all that the manufacturers can require : they can have no more anxious wish than that the Public, the consumers o the articles which they produce, should have the means of judging for themselves. To this test the manufacturers may very safely and confidently trust tho question of ! I a the encouragement due to American industry.

The principal articles forma suit of bedroom furni t(ire, in rosewood and marble, frorrj the manu factory of Crawford Riddell, of Philadelphia. It consists of a richly-carved and ornamented liedsted, valued by itself at 2,500 j two bu rpaus, a cheval glass, wardrobe, wishstand, toi let stand, and six chairs, all in the richest and most correct Gothic'style, and valued together at 88,000. It is not easy to imagine any thing more costly in point of finish than these articles. There are other articles of rich furniture from Mr. Riddell's manufactory. Messrs!. J. 6c A. Court, of Philadelphia, have furnished very beautiful centre tables, manufacturecj from the following American woods : tulip poplar, birds eye cherry, American ash, curl walnut, and ma pie root. Messrs. Quanton & Lutz of Phila delphia, have some fine specimens of furniture ware in chairs, chiffoniers, ccc. Messrs. White, of Philadelphia, have contributed af very.-rich rocking.chair, music-stool, &c. We regard all these specimens of the skill and 'taste of our artisans as high!y creditable to the! producers, whilst the very fact of their production affords verted into privateers. The treaty with Spain it self, as was shown in the last evening's Union, treats all such vessels as piratical, and con. demns the offending Spanish seaman to be hung up at the yard arm as a pirate. Mr. Berrien has shown the proper degree of vigilence, by moving yesterday a resolution instructing the judiciary committee to inquire whether any, and what legislation is necesary to give effect to the 11th artiticle of the treaty of 27th October, 1795, between the IL States and Spain, (by which the subjects of Spain are prohibited from taking out letters-of.marque against the United States, under the penalty ot being treated as pirates,) and that they re port by bill or otherwise. Mr. Berrien ex plained the necessity of looking into this mat ter, in consequence of tho passage of the bill recognizing the existence of a war with Mex ico, and the probability that privateers might be fitted out in the Island of Cuba.' Another consideration also "-deserves to be noted. A vessel purporting to sail under a Mexican flag, can scarcely pass into a Mexi can port, because it may be blockaded. What then, will she do with any prize she may make? She cannot carry the captured vessel into any other port for condemnation ; and if she under takes to condemn the prize at sea, without go. ing into an admiralty court for jurisdiction, she acts like a pirate, and would be treated as such. The Union, in another article, says We arc informed by an intelligent physi cian, who was a native of this city, but who re sided for several years tothe west of RioOran. de, married a Mexican lady, who was an U.S. consul, practised physic several years in the vicinity of Matamoras, and immediately ac-' quaiuted with the climate, as well as the hab its of tho Mexicans, that although at a certain season of the year it is unhealthy at Mataran ras and on the immediate borders of the river vet that several miles from it the ague and fe ver is unknown.
