Tho Preaidont, iu answer to u Resolution of tho Uoum of Heproooutativoe, hue transmitted the follow- iug iiteaxage lo that body mlativo to the military force that will be necomury to couatitnto the peace establish* ment. According to Mr. Polk's view of tlie subject, there will he no need of augmenting tho regular force of the country to any couaiderablu extent; but this view may bo correct or inoorreot, according to future oircunutauces. If tho numeroux tribes of Indians that inhabit the vast exteut of territory embraced in tho limits of Oregon, California, uod Now Mexico shall, contrary to ull reasonable calculation, remain quiet, tho army as it Blands may lie sufficient; but ahould thoy, us they are already begiuuing to do, oommence hostilities throughout any cousiderabie portion of thooo lately acquired torriturics, will such au army os the President and his Secretary now doom sufficient, bo available to protect the various interests of our citixous iu that wild und extended region 7 Mr. Polk well knows that u large standing army, in time of peace, ia regard, ed oa dangerous to tho freedom of the people ; and lienee he preteuda that lib conquering policy will give no particular occasion for tho employment of more soldiers. But how long will il be before the army must bo increased t How long will il bo before Congress will ho culled uj>on to add uddilioual regiments, and place u|>ou the country heavy additional burthens to oupport three regiments 7 These kitK of things move along by inohee. Various reasons will bo amigned from time to time for inorenaing tho anny, until It growl to a alia which the President fears at once to lugged. If the oonquest of Mr. Polk, among all their other euimo bring along alao tho necreaity of augmenting the regu lar army, the avowal should have been frankly and candidly made. Wu give the opinions of the Presi dent and his Secretary, and shall leave their correot- neaa to bo tested by future events: 7yt the Hounr of Reprcnentnliernofthr. United Staten “ 1 communicate horowilh a Report from the Hccrctary of War, containing tile information called fur by a resolution of tbe House of Repre' senlativoa of tlm mb July, 1848, in relation to the number of Indians in Oregon, California ami Netv Mexico, tho number of military posts, the number of troops which would ho required in each, ami tho whole military force which should consti- tuto Ilia Peace Estahlislimeut. i have seen no renson lo change tho opinion ex pressed in iny message lo Congress of the Gtli July, 1848, transmitting tlm Treaty of Peace with Mex ico that—“ the old army, as il oxisted before the commencement of tlm war with Mexico, especially, if authority be given lo fill op tho Rank and File of the several corps to the maximum number au thorized during tho war, will l e sufficient force to t>3 retained in service during a period of peace.” Tito old army consists (d id regiments. By the act of the I3tli May, 1846, the President was au. thurized by voluntary enlistment, to increaso tho number of privates lit each »r any of (ho compa nies of the existing Regiment of Dragoons, Ar tillery and Infantry, to any number, not exceeding one hundred, and to reduce the same lo sixty-four when tho exigencies requiring the present increaso dull cease. Should this act remain in force, the maximum number of thu rank and iilu uf tlie army aiilhorizisi by it, would he over 16,00(1 men, ex clusive of officers. Should tho nul liorily conferred hy this act ho continued, il would depend on the exigencies of tlm service, whether tho number of the rank and tile should lie increased, and if so to what umount. beyond the maximum number of 64 privates to a company. Allowing 64 privates to a company, the uriny would he over 16,000 men, exclusive of officers, a number which it is believed will Is 1 sufficient, but as a precautionary measure il is deemed expedient that tho Executive should possess the power of increasing the strength of the respective corps, should the exigencies of the service require it.— Should llicy net cull for such increase, the discre tionary power given hy thu act lo tho President will not ho exorcised. Il will bo seen by thu Re ports of the Secretary of War that u portion of the forces will ho employed in < Iregon, New Mexi co and Upper California, a portion for tlie protec tion of tho Texnn frontier, udjoining tlie Mexican possessions, and bordering on the territory occu- 5 icd hy the Indian tribes within iter limits. After mailing the force necessary for these okjucts,itis behoved a sufficient number of troops will remain to afford security nnd protection to our Indian fron tier in the West and North West, and to occupy with sufficient garrisons the posts on our Northern and Atlantic borders. 1 have no reason at present to believe that any increase of the number of Regiments or Corps will be required, duriug the period of peace. JAMES K. POLK. Washington, August 1, 1848. Secretary Marcy calculates that 1,000 man will pro- toot Oregon. In relation to our now aoquiailiou bo ■ays: “ In California, it will be necessary to establish posts at San Diego, Monterey, Han Francisco, Puebla dc loi Angelos, and Han Luis Roy. Il will bo proper to have a post, perhaps two, on the Gila River. At presont there are scarcely any settle ments in tbe country on either side or the river, at any conaiderable distance from its entrance into tho Colorado of the West, audit la not therefore deemed necessary to have more titan one or two posts on it, and at these a large force will be re quired. A force not exceeding 1,800 or 1,800 inen will be sufficient for the protection of California, and tlie frontier on the Gila River up to Now Mex ico. This force should be composed of six com panies of Dragoons, two or three of Artillery, and tho remainder of Infantry. For tlie protection of New Mexico, it is believed that not more than throe or four posts will be re quired. Tlie principal oiio will bo at Santa Fe, and the others at Albuquerquo and Hneoao. As connected with the defence of New Mexic—, it is hrlieved that a para ought to be aatafaliehed oa tbe east aide of tlm Rio Grande, iu Texas, nearly opposite to El Peso. It is estimated that near 1300 men will constitute an adequate garrison for these poets. Tot the protection of the Lower Rio Grande and tbe Texan frontier, I estimate that a force of 1800 men will ho required. I have brought into view all the aew poet* aad lines of defenoe which require lo be gimitoned Cauforhia.—There have, been says tho Baltf morn American, many different descriptions of the California region, by reason perhaps of the fact that different observers have viewed different por tions of it and havo made report accordingly. A book lies recently appeared on California by Mr. E Bryant, of New York, who accompanied Col. Fremont in his ndventurous expedition to the Paciffic and who filled for some time judicial ela tion at Han Francisco. The accounts of this writer represent the country, or at least cert|in parts of it, in a very favorable point of view*.— Tlie following extracts we find in the New York papers; they rclato to one of tho most fertile portions of California: "The Hacramcnto and San Joaquin rivers, have each a course ol from 300 to 400 miles, the first flowing from tbe north and tho last from the south, and both emptying into the Bay of Han Francisco at tlie same point.. They wator the large and fertile valley lying between the Sierra Nevailo and the coast range of mountains. I subjoin a description of tlie valloy and San Joa quin, Irom the pen of a gentleman (Dr. March) who has explored the river from its source to ito mouth. - This noble valley is the first undoubtedly In California, and one of the most magnificent in the world. It is about 600 miles long, with an average width of about fifty miles. It is bounded on tho east by the great Snowy Mountains, and on tho west by tho low range, which in many places dwindles into insignilicent hills, and has its northern terminus at the strait of Carqnines, on tho Buy of San Franciaoe, and ita southern near tho Colorado river. “ Tho river of San Joaquin flows through the middlo of the valloy for about half its extent, and tliencc diverges towards tho eastern mountain, in which It has its source. About sixty miles further south is the northern end of the Buena Viata Lake, which is about one hundred miles long, and from ten to twenty wide. Still further south, and near the western sido of the valley, is another and much smaller lake. “Thegreat lako receives about a dozon tributaries on its eastern side, which all rise in (ho range of the Snowy Mountains. Some of these streams flow through brood and fertile valleys within the mountain's range, and from thence emerging, irri gate tlie plains of the great valley for the distance of twenty miles or thirty miles. The largest of tlieso rivors is called hy the Spanish inhabitants tho River Reyns, and falls into the lake noar its northern end; It is a well timbered stream, and flows through a country of great fertility and beauty. The tributaries of tho Suit Joaquin are all UI1 tho caat bide. “Ou ascending the strauin we first meet with the Hlnuisluus, a clear, rapid mountain stream, some forty or fitly yards wide, with a considerable depth of wnter in its lower portinu. Tho Mor- mens havo commenced a settlement, called New Hopo, and built some two or three houses near the mouth. There are considerable bodies of fertile land ulung tho river, and the higher plains afford good paste m go. “Ten miles higher up is tho river of the Tawa- h»nes;it is about the size of .Stanislaus, which it greatly resembles, except that the soil Is some what better, and that it particularly abounds with salmon. “ Home thirty miloa farther comes in Moread, much the largest of tho tributaries of tlie Sun Joaquin. The land along and between the trib utaries of the Hail Joaquin and the lake of Buena Vista form a fine pastoral region, with a mod portion uf arable-land, and a very inviting Held for emigration. The whole of this region Ins been but imperfectly explored; enough, however, is known to make it certain tliat it is one of tbo most dosirable regions on tho continent. “ In the valleys of the rivers which come down from the great Hnowy Mountains, arc vast bodies of pine, and red-wood, or cedar timber, and the streams afford water power to any desirable amount. “ Tho whole country east of tbe Han Joaquin and the wafer cummunicatiou which connects it i •nu nw power w hum »the hearts tf the up t whert nndSdplhMd *1 ten aioa. cipal agricultural resources of Oaliforeis." The productiveness of this region, and the slight and rude agriculture which alone is neces sary to call forth ita harvest, are manifest from the facts stated in tho following passages: “ Tho soil of that portion of California, be tween the Bierra Nevada and the Paclflc, will compare, in point of fertility, with any that I have seen elsewhere. As I have already described such portions of it as have oome under my observa tion, it is unnecessary for me to descend to par ticulars. Wheat, barley, and other small grains, with hemp, flax and tobacco, can lie preduced In all the valleys, without irrigation. To pro duce maize, potatoes, and other garden vegeta bles, irrigation Is necessary. Oats and mustard grow spontaneously, with such rankness ae to bo considered nuisances upon the soil. I have forc ed my way through tnousandsof acres of these higher than my head when mounted on n bone. The oats grow lo tbe summits of the hills, but they are not hero ao tall and rank as In the valleys. “ The varieties of grasses are greater than on the Atlantic aide of the continent, and for more nutria us. I have sees seven different kinds of clover, several of them in n dry stale, depositing n seed upon the ground so abundant aa to cover it. which is Upped up by the csttle and hones and other animals, as corn or cats, when threshed, would be with us. All the grasses, and they onser the entire country, are heavily syeded, .and when ripe, are aa fousning to stoek as the grains which we feed to oar beei, hones sod hogs.— Hence it is unnecessary lo the aaotonanoo uf fattening of stock, lo raise eon for their nnnsnrap Don eonntiy on my I , __ needed in premiss any wUSlk I hovo NUB fai I United States.

The selection of a field of conflict at the narrow pasa of Bunea Visit; a kind df Tfietniopylto for the Americans—where a small army might best oppose a large one, and the con tinned rtfodal to fall back behind the Sierra Madre, allowed this plainly enough; which never, however,waede clared in boastful words or promises; tbocrfl bs once broke out in a hasty expression, significant of ail the general's thoughts, when an officer Che day—as the anecdote has it—ventured, rather freely, to aak what he thought would be tbs Merit of General Santa Anna’s making a enddre raatah upon them from San Luis; to which Taylor quick ly replied that the result would be—Mi matog - a sudden march back again.” And so it hep* pened I It was on the 31st of February, 1847, that Wy- lor, apprised by his scoots of the approaching Met, fell hack, in good onisr, to hia intended bottle Ml $ where the “magnanimous” Btmmoito (or well deserving) of Mexico, on the next day, Informiag him that he was -- surrounded by 30,000 men,” re* proposed to allow him the humane privilege of ser- rendering at discretion.
