ylso challenge the admiration and approbation
of all classes of our Mlowrcitipcns. Such ac

The bill which passed the Senate on the 10th
jnst., increased each company of regulars in
the army to 100 lusu, which will swell the total
<oabout 15,0-i0. This bill was reported, deba
sed and passed, at one and the same sitting.
Including regulars and volunteers, therefore*
the President is authorized to call into the field
an at my of 65,000 men.
The Naval force now in commission compri

At the lowest calculation, the President will

THE WAR—THE NEWS RECEIVED
YESTERDAY.
By the arrival of the steutscr James L. Day,
at New Orlenus, on the 19th inst.,.from Brazos
Sjnliago, three days later intelligence hap been
received front the army than that published in
another column from the New .Qrfou.ira Com
mercial Times.
The news is important. We extract the
following from the Picayune of Wednesday
list:
•» Tiiis arrival establishes the imporlapt fact,
that the report brought by the G-lveston that
immense reinforcements had been received by
ti e Mexicans was unfounded, or at least exag
gerated. Gen. Taylor arrived at liivcamp the
evening of the 14m ms!., without molestation.
By the way, we find th.at the camp opposite
Aialumorns lias been christened "Fort Brown,”
in honor of tlie eallant M jor Brown, of the
7ih luf.intry, who fell .in its defence. The
rirtfication at Point Isabel is now styled
"Foil Polk,” in compliment to the President
of the United Slates, ,r We trust we may now
safely say tnat cpnimupicationa between Fort
Poik at! Fort Brown have been permanently
reestablished.
All eyes are now turned,towards Mainmorts.
All our letteis indicate.lira* the next step to be
taken by Gen. Taylor is to reduce that city,
mill that lie was making active preparations to
.cn>ss the Rio Grande. W’e learn from an in
telligent correspondent that the Mexicans anti
cipated that an attack would Ire made upon the
town on the lOili—uum diately upon the vic
tory achieved on the 9tti. .In oons’ queucc all
their posts wero strengthened, and every indi
vidual who entered lire cily was detailed and
pressed into the service.
During the union of the 8th the.house-tops
.w Matainoras were covered with the pooplo
and the bmk of the river was lined with spec
tators; but, writes a brave though facetious
corre-pondent, “a huzza from the Fori brought
hrrtli by a despatch messenger..who rode,in to
announce our victory, made them all ‘slope’.”
From nn officer who was not in the fort from
the 1st till the 10:h inst., we learn that while it
was invested during Gen. Taylor’s aksenve
with the greater part of tlio army, G'.-n. Arista
rent in to it a summons to surrender upon the
•core of humanity ! .This was altar the action
of the tilli. and before the issue of it was known
by those in the fort. The greatest anxiety
*us of course felt by them as to the result, be-
.ciuse their fate was to depend ma nly upon the
access of the army, ignorant of what had
.happened, and assured Ilia: a large army await
ed Gen. Taylor, and that it would be impossi
ble fot him to reach the. fort—thus swayed by
.anxiety, hope,,confidence and fear—no! not
jfear—-that bravo band refused to surrender.
Wliut their fate would have b en had Geo.
"Taylor been defeated, and the whole Mexican
diurdc beleaguered the fort, the history of all
Mexican warfare too fern fully presages. Wlijlo
°n this theme, we feel constrained to say that
dhe Mexicans dealt barbarously upon those
Americans who fell in action. No officers
w *re taken prisoners, and those killed were
hideously mutilated. All the .letters wc have
•*'*d sute the fact that the persons of the dying
"od the dead wero not respected.

v tl) ‘the troops during the action of Uio
’ ?na Gjc brilliant impetuosity with
which the enemy’s position and artillery
were carried on the 9th, have displayed the
best qualities of the American soldier. To
every officer and soldier of his command the
General publicly returns his thanks for the
noble manner in which they have sustained ths
honor of the service nr.d the country.
While the main body of the army has been
thus nctively employed, the l arrison left oppo
site Matamoros has rendered no less djstinguish-
service by sustaining u severe cannonade and
bombardment of many successive days.
The army and country while justly rejoicing
in tlvs triumph of our arms, will deplore the loss
of ninny brave officersand men, who fell callant-
ly in the hour of combat.
It being necessary for the Commandin'? Gen
eral to visit Point Isabel on public business,
Col. Twiggs will assume command of the corps
of the army near M oamonH, including the
garrison of the field-works. He will occupy
the former lines of the army, making such
disposition for defence and for the comfort of
his command as he may deem advisable. He
will hold himself strictly on lhe.defensive until
the return of the Commanding General.

We learn that about 175,000 rounds of mus

diers drank the Mexicans* liquor, smoked their
cigars, eat their bread and beef which they
were just in the act of cooking when the engage
ment took place’
YET LATER.
Since the above was written we have recei
ved the following letter announcing Gen. Tay
lor’s arrival in the camp.
Camp opposite Matamoros. 1
May 14th, 10 o’clock at night, j
Gentlemen—I would like to write a detail
ed account of all that has occurred since the
8th inst., But I have a hope of getting a few
hours’ sleep to-night, for to-morrow I fancy we
shall have something to do. A report is going
around camp to night that wc will go over and
take possession of Mutaiuoros to-morrow or
next day.
Ge l. Taylor returned to-night from point
Isabel. A party of Dragoons since his arrival has
s wum over and brought a boat from the opposite
side. Tiie sentinel over this boat left in haste.
All the prisoners whom we hud in Mat&moros
were exchanged day before yesterday, besides
which, we gave our enemies ninety seven
wounded men by way of La Naip.
Yours, L.
P. S. The camp is hurraing for the putriotiam
of the citizens of New Orleans, having just
heard ol'their reception of the news of our situ
ation and the promptness with which they
acted.
LEANDER AT THE RIO GRANDE.
We find in one of our exchanges the follow
ing accouut of the catises that led to the cap
ture of Lieut. D.-as:
‘‘It appears.that L ent. Deas was officer of
the day, and it was customary for the Ameri
can hand to perform the national airs, when
the “Star Spangled Banner’’ was lowered in
the evening. This concert of sweet sounds at
tracted the attention of the Mexicans on the
opposite side, und crowds ^assembled on the
banks qf tha river to listen,to the strains of
music; among them were many ladies. Lieut.
D<*as became, enamored with a.certain Mexican
beauty, and signs and tokens of affection .pass
ed between them ; on that same evening, like
another Lcander, he plunged into the Mexican
Hellespont after his Htro, and no sponer had
he landed on the oilier side than he was secur
ed ns. a prisoner. Love—and not valor or
friendship, prompted him to swim across the
river.”

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
PRESIDENT PAREDES’ MANIFESTO
OF WAR—THE WAR STEAMERS
NOT SOLD.
The Sardinian brig Providenza, Tonetqti,
arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz. She left
there oil the 4Mi inst. We received files of pa
pers by her to the 25th ult., five days later than
any brought by previous arrivals. The most
important intelligence which we find in those
journals is Paredes* Proclamation of'War, of
which we give a translation below. The news
of the coi flict with our troops had not reached
Vera Cruz, but it was known tint it was to
have taken place. Tiie editor of El Tiempo,
published in the city of Mexico, says that the
rumored sale to the Spanish Government, of ilia
national steamships Guadalupe ami Moutczu-
m •, has no foundation in fact; he also denies
that Gen. Almonte has been recalled, or that
his appointment as Minister to France has been
revoked.
MANIFESTO
Of tfie -President ad interim of the Mexican
Republic, dated “ Nationul Palace of Mex
ico, April 23, 1846.” '
When at tiie commencement cf the present
year I took upon myself the grave^responsibili-
ty of directing, fora short time, the destinies of
our nation, I determined with tesolute mind to
sustain and defend its rights and prerogatives,
changing ilie weak and pernicious policy of
temporieation, which hud been observed to
wards the Government of the United Sfates of
America—notwithstanding the perfidious means
by which it prepared, the way for the occupa
tion of Texaa-r-tlie baseness willi which it vio-
luted the existing treaties that guarantied to
us inviolate the limit of mis Republic, and not
withstanding die improper act by which it in
corporated one *d’ our Departments into the
States ol i's Confederation.
The Mexican nation did not achieve her in
dependence by the w.ost bloody aud heroical
sacrifices, nor did she take her place among tiie
civilized nations of the world, in order to be
tbe myckory of a neighboring power, winch
fomenting our quarrels, our painful disturban
ces, and exasperating the weukuess which they
produced, clothed herself with the 9pparel of
conquest, and commenced invading pur terri
tory, consoling licfsoJf.il! U ,e <hcam that she
might one day extinguish the manly race to
which we belong, and by branding pur fore*
heads with, the marking-iron of her slavery of
tiie South, extinguish o.ucnationality, and aban
don us to the liunuljaling misfortune ot being
no longer remembered uniong tiie nations.
This magnanimous people, that in a strug
gle of eleven years of b'ood and extermination,
showed its strength and valor as well as its con
stancy, burned with impatience to undertake a
now war, to which the most scandalous ag
gressions on the part of a government which
called itself friendly, were constantly provo
king them; and in order to degrade ns, that
government relied on its power and forgot to
strengthen itself on the titles of justice and
equity, which are respected by all nations,
that strengthen the hopes of peace, and which
maintain the harmony of the whole universe.
This was the reason why the Mexican na
tion sanctioned the movement which I com
menced at San Luis Potosi, not with tbe view
of seeking the troublesome exercise of power,
but that my country should shine with the tri
umph of a cause which is the conservative
principle of human society.
The ancient grievances, the constant insults
which since 1830, the Government of the Uni
ted States has heaped upon the Mexican peo
ple, were crowned by tiie result of sending ua.
u Minister, in order that he should be accredit
ed by us, as if tiie relations between the two
Republics had suffered no alteration in con
summating the definite act of the incorporation
of Texas into the United States.
At the very time that Mr. Slidell presented
himself among us, the troops of the United
States.occupied our territory ; its squadrons
menaced our ports, and they were preparing to
take possession of the Peninsula of the Cul.for-
jiias, the Oregon question With England being
nothing but a oreiude to such a consummation.
I did not admit Mr. Slidell, because the dign ty
of the nation repelled this new inslilt.
Meanwhile the United States Army encamp
ed at Corpus Christi, and occupied the Island
.of Padre Vayin ; it marched next toward Point
St. Isabel, and waved the Banner of the Stars
and Stripes on thn right bank of the Rio Bra
vo of the North, opposite Hie city of Matamo-
fas, arrogating to itself the navigation of the
river with its vessels of war. The village of
Laredo was attacked and surprised by a party
of U. S. troops, and soinq, of our soldiers who
were there unprepared, were disarmed by the
enemy. Hostilities, therefore, were commen
ced by the United States, who have undertaken
new conquests upon the territory of demarca
tion of the Departments of Tanmulip -s and
New Leon, at the time that troops of those
U. Stales are menacing Monterey, in Upper
California.
It cannot be doubted upon which of tbe two
Republics rests the responsibility of a war
which a feeling of equity and justice, and the
respect which civilization accords to the rights
and property of all nations, might have prevent
ed. If Mexico had suffered with ind >le»ce the
repeated advances of a power winch already
considered itself master an i lord of the Amer
ican Continent, she would not oiily lose the im
portance which her population, her resources,
and her position have given her, since she has
been an independent nation, but she would al
so have fallen into a despicable contempt, for
having, when called to the combat, allowed the
Integral parts of her territory to be taken.—
Such numerous and aggravated insults could no
longer be toleiated, and I have commanded
Hie General in Cmef of the frontiei division of
the North, that he mu-t act h Jstilely against our
enemy—that he make war upon tiie enemy
that is warring against us, and that by invoking
the God of Battles, he may stimulate the valor
of our soldiers, and maintain our unquestionable
right to our territory. Our General, taking as
a model the estahlisiied usages, and regulating
himself to the precise rules of pur Government,
intimated to the Commander in Chief of the
American forces that he must retire to the
other side of the river Nuoces, the previous
boundary line of Texas ; winch intimation has
bee n disregarded.
Tne nations whose interest it is that the
peuceof so many years’should not be distui li
ed, and .winch might he prejudiced in their
commercial relations with the Mexican Repub
lic, have discovered the cruel alternative in
which the usurping policy of the United States
has placed it, and which would immediately
have to succumb, if she were not to defend
energetically the critical position of her exist
ence. . V
I solemnly announce that I do not declare
war against the Uuited States of America, be
cause the august Congress of the Nation, aud
not the Executive, must decide definitely upon
that reparation which so many insults call for.
Besides this, the defence of the Mexita • ter
ritory, which is invaded by troops of Hie Uui
ted Slates, is a paramount necessity, and my
responsibility would become great it 1 d‘d not
command that the enemy’s forces should be
repelled. 1 huxe done so. From this day has
a defensive war commenced, and every point of
our territory shall be strongly defended, when
ever it is invaded or attacked.
The eveul which the Mexican Government
had endeavored to avoid has arrived, and find
ing that its titles to justice have been trodden
under foot, wo euter into an unavoidable con- :
test, which will gain for us the sympathy of
nations, and of governments which condemn
the usurpation of the mighty. We shall also
be mighty by the sanction of the purpose, und
because, when everyUiing dear to a nation is
at stake, efforts will be made corresponding
with the interests at stake. Meanwhile, the
Mexican nation, resolved to risk everything in
PUBLIC MEETING lit HOUSTON.
At a very large meeting of the citizens of Houston coun
ty. called at Perry, on Saturday the 23d May. 1846. for ta
king into consideration the recent news from the seat u*
war, en the Bio Qrande. James M. Kelly, Esq., was called
to the fChair, aud J. A. Pringle appointed Secretary. Tbe
Chairman addressed the meeting at some length in a (train
of patriotic eloquence- Oo assenting his seat. Dr. E.J-
McGehee was called upon, who in his nsual happy manner
addressed the meeting, inte-rnpled by thilling bursts of
applause. James N. West Esq., was then called for, who
asoendea the platform and made a burning appeal to the
young men or Houston county, which was received with
gratification by his young compatriots. At ihe close of his
remarks a call was made for vulunteers, when they para
ded before the Court Ijtausp door in auch numbers, and
with such enthusiasm, as to thrill the heart of every patriot
present, leaving little doubt that a full compliment will be
made up. whose services will be immediately tendered to
be Governor, subject to his earliest call.
The meeting then adjourned to Saturday the 30th instant.
JAMES M. KELLY, Chairman.
J. A. Pringle, Secretary.
The news which we give to-day from the
seat of war will be read with deep interest.—
We have been particularly careful to collect
the fullest accounts of the late engagements
between Gen. Tayjor’s Army and the Mexi
can forces that we could gather from our ex
changes.—The extracts from the New Orleans
Commercial Times presents the best account
that we have seen, and cannot fail to interest
be reader. -
EXTRAS.
In order to gratify the anxiety which our
readers must feel for the latest news from the
seat of war, we will hereafter, whenever the
news is of sufficient importance to require it*
issue an extra, immediate!; after its receipt,
which will be sent to our subscribers in the city
and country generally. In this way we will
endeavor to keep them as well advised of the
progress of the war as the readers of the Daily
papers of the Atlantic cities.
Volunteers continue to flow into New Or
leans for the Rio Grande. \Ve are prevented
by a press of other matter from giving partic
ulars. Upwards of thirty-four hundred have
already left for the teat of war.
We are indebted to Messrs. Colquitt, Cobb,
Haralson, Lumpkin an i King, for several
valuable public documents received during the
past two weeks.
FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED.—That Consump
tion ia almost alwavs produced by a cold that might easily
he cared. That Wistar s Balsam ot Wild Cherry wilt
cure any Cough' or .Cold, no matter of how long standing.
That the milder form of Consumption itself is also cured
bv this Balsam. That it is conceded by many lawyers and
clergymen and physicians that this Balsam has never been
equalled for efficacy in all affections of the Luugsaiid Liver.
That scores now rejoide in the possession ol good health,
who. but for this ht.lsam would have been in their graves
—having been given up to die by their friends and physi
cians. Above all remember rbat this invaluable medicine
has been imitated under various names, and that Dr. Mrs-
tar’s Genuine Balsam of Wild Cherry only can be re
lied to C U R E. It has been warranted to cure Asthma in
every stage—what no physician has ever achieved—and
has never been known to fail. For delicate health in young
females it stands unrivalled—as it does in all diseases iff
this climate. \

who sustained in all oges their independence
and freedom.
I feel proud that the . will of Divine Provi
dence has desiined'me to bo the organ through
which the energetic will of the Mexican lie-
public should be made known. We will show
in the combat that the sons of the heroes and
the martyrs of the Independence, will be sus
tained with the remembrance of its pure glory,
that tiie valor which they inherited lias not de
generated, in their noble breasts, and that they
are determined, if it needs lie, to immolate
themselves on the altar of their country.
Mexicans! I unfurl, this memorable day,
tho standard of Independence, on which you
see inscribed the names of Hidalgo and Itur-
bide. .Unite under this sacred emblem of our
freedom, leaving for times of less danger ques
tions of local disagreement. I have promised
you that the giory which I seek as a reward of
my perilous career, is not that of the ambitious
rain who considers power as an instrument of
rapine. I have sworn to maintain the rights of
the Republic during the short epoch of my gov
ernment ; and now that I urge to the contest,
I will tell you that great sacrifices are necessa
ry, and rpromise you that l will shed my own
blood in the cause if necessary.
Mexicans! Your valiant army is going to
fight, and will fight wiih the valor of heroes—
give them your blessings in anticipation, and
prepare to crown their noble heads with laurels
should they conquer, or to deck their tombs
with cypress should they fall; in .which event
vour country will call upon you to fill up their
ranks.
, Mexico must either conquer or exist no
