It will bs seen by the proccedings in Congress, in tuis day’s paper, that the Senate, on Tuesday, ps +sed the bill received from the House, providing artuy of fitty thousand men and appropri- sung ten inillions of dollars, by a vote of fifty to two. All branches of the government, the execu- tive nnd legislative, have now recognized, most overwhelmingly, the existence of the war between tho United States and Mexico, which has broken out on the Rio Grande. The country is now at war with a neighboring republic, and we must mae the best of it. The blundering and imbecility by which this state of things has been brought so suddenly upon the country, in the midst of peace and prosperity, may create a great feeling of dissatisfaction in the minds of sensible people; but we must call forth a spirit of patriot- ism, oapable of overwhelming all other senti- ments, in order to prosecute this war to a success- ful termination, and bring about a speedy peace, favorable to the interests ofhumanity, com- merce and civilization. All admit the imbecility of the Executive; but that is not the question now. Let us forget it, in matters of deeper mo- ment. Wherever ‘the recent events on the Rio Grande have reached, a most overwhelming spirit of pat- riotism has been called forth—in public meetings, in the legislative bodies—and every means have been adopted for the purpose of reinforcing the army and prosecuting the war with vigor and vengeance. In this city and in the North, there seems to be little feeling and a want of proper en- thusiasm. There is even a nucleus of opposition in existence, and that opposition assumes a black shade, and springs partly from the abolitionists and other ultra people, who would like to see a dissolu- tion of the Union, in order to carry their princi- ples into operation. Indeed, ifwe look at the votes in Congress, it will be seen that the principal opposition to the organization of the army of 50,000 men, sprung from Giddings and such like public men, who have ridden the abolition ques- tion to death. With the exception of this small fac- tion—this small cloud of sheer niggerism—with its @rroneous views, without common sense, not ap- Preciating the spirit and destiny of this great re. public—the rest of the country, in all directions, appears to be united in repelling the Mexicans, and in chastising Mexico herself, up to the very Oapital. With regard to the merits of the great question between Mexico and the United States, we have no doubt Mexico will endeavor to call to its aid the interference of Europe. We saw the attempt made during the annexation of Texas; and the eame diplomats who made the attempt then are sill busy in the same business, in Mexico and in the United States. A great outcry will be made by the opponents of the United States, that this country has outraged the principles of all justice in annexing Texas, and in sending our army to the Rio Grande. These are allfaccomplished facts, and are not worthy of attention at the present momentous crisis. Whether right or wrong, the deed is done, and cannot be recalled. The United States was the first nation to recognize the inde- pendence of Mexico herself, when she was strug- ating with Spain. For twenty years past, in con- sequence of the incapacity of the civil govern. ment, and the influences of military despotism in | that country, the United States has suffered injus tice and insults, unbearable any longer. No mat ter how weak our present amiable and worthy President and cabinet may have been in some of their mavements, Congress and the nation are i now united with the Executive in bringing this | war to a termination. What that termination will be, time will tell. We certainly think that the army of occupation, when reinforced, should | &t once take possession af the Northern Depart- ments of Mexico, particularly California, and pro- claim liberty, equality, and the elective franchise to all Mcxicans, who never yet have enjoyed these “iow'ngs, ond attempt to establish a stable and z Tament in that coun: e ruins Pohe tyrant Paredes, who isa pars er > has Violated the first principles of the Mexican constitution, The United States have as much right to march to the “ Halls of the Montezuinas,” and to proclaim the froedom of the Mexican re- Public from military dictation, as Paredes, the ex- until such a great work is accomplished in some Proper way. Let the tyrants of Europe rave—they may tremble, before this crisis on the Rio Grande may be closed. In the meantime, our government ought at once to organize a force sufficient to protect the immense amount of American property now afloat. No time isto be lost, for the treacherous Mexicans will probably avail themselves of every opportunity to depredate on America property at sea. Bap Prosrect—Some Prowasiity or THE Block. apg or New Yorx Hanzor.—It will be in the recol- lection of our readers, that it was stated some time since, that the two Mexican steam vessels of war, the Montezuma and Guadaloupe, were sold to some English mercantile houses in Vera Cruz. This created a good deal of astonishment at the time, in view of the hostile demonstrations of Mex- ico towards the United States. This report is now ascertained to have heen without foundation.— The vessels have been mortgaged to English mer- chants at Vera Cruz, and the consideration money has been employed in fitting out the present expe- dition to Matamoras. Meantime, the vessels are still under the control of the Mexican government and have proceeded to Havana. What next? Their destination is scarcely proble- matical. Nothing can be easier than to blockade the portof New York, and seize all the shipping that approaches or leaves it. The vessels will probably go round by Bermuda, where they will take in coal and ammunition. They are already provided with four or five paixhan guns each, and can easily be furnished with whatever other ne- cessaries they may require. There is no vessel of war in our harbor fit tocope with them. In fact, our whole shipping is at their mercy. What will our merchants do, in this emergen- cyt The advent of these Mexican war vessels, may be looked for sooner than desirable. In this crisis, the Executive, whose vacillating and un- wise policy, has brought all those evils so sudden- ly on the country, should be besieged with remon- strances to put our harbor in a state of defence, although we fear that would be a difficult matter, * - as there are no vessels at hand, able to cope with these Mexican war steamers. The Princeton—the only vessel of available force to oppose them—has gone to join the Gulf squadron. Thus, the greatest commercial city is left utterly naked and defenceless. Some effort is absolutely necessary, to ward off the probable approach of danger. Let our merchants move in this matter. In reference to this important subject we have procured the following official correspondence :— New Yonx, 13th May, 1846. in — At a meeting of the Board of Underwriters this morn- Ing, | was directed to esk of you the publication of the letter received by you from the Hon. James Buchanan, communicating fthe substance of the treaty between the United States and Spain in relation to privateers or let- ters of marque. Tam, very respectfully, yours :— J. BALDWIN, Secretary. ‘Wasmarox, 1ith April, 1846, My Dean Sins— In consequence of our conversation a few minutes since, 1 think it proper to inform you, without delay, that our treaty with 9) of the 2th October, 1796, contains the following article, still in force : “ Art. 14.—No subject of his Catholic Majesty shell ap- ply for, or take any commission or letters of marque, for arming any ship or ships to act as privateers e said United States, or against tho citizens, peoplo or in- habitants of the said U. States, or against the property of any of the inhabitants of any of them, from any prince or State with which the said United States shall be at war. “ Nor shallany citizen, subject or inhabitant of the said United States apply for, or take any commission or letters of marque, for arming any ship or ships to act as priva- teers against the subjects of hie Catholic Majesty, or the property of any of them, from any prince or Siaie with which the said king shall be at war. fags A ger of either nation shall take such commissions or letters of marque, he shall be punished as a pirate.” ‘ours, very respectfully, JAMES BUCHANAN, Epwanp K. Cotans, Esq. By this it will be seen that any Spaniard who may be caught privateering undera Mexican letter of marque, can be treated asa pirate, and should be, by drum-head court-martial, hung at the yard-arm as soon as captured. What are the provisions of our treaties with France and Eng- land? Can any one tell? Tur Magxetic TELeGRarH AND THE NEwsrarEeR Press.—One of the most singular featuresin the pre- sentc! of our foreign affairsjand the tremendous excitement consequent thereon—an excitement that must increase daily, while we are at war with Mexico—is the rapid transmission of intelli- gence to this city, by the magnetic telegraph. Every important item of news that has transpired within the last ten days, in relation to our army in Texas, and proceedings at Washington, has been published in this city by the Herald, and one or two other similar establishments, in a few hours after it reached Washington. There Shave been as many as three or four extras in one day issued from this office, during the past week, whenever any important intelligence arrived. The neighborhood of our office has become the centre of attraction for crowds of citizens, who daily throng the vicinity of Fulton and Nassau streets, to learn the latest intelligence. By this enterprise on the part of ourselves, and oneor two other cash papers, the interest of the public is kept alive, instead of being diminished. The greatest anxiety is manifested to learn, at the earliest hour in the morning, the news by the over-night mail; and our office is besieged by crowds during the day, anxious to learn the latest intelligence by the telegraph. Our circulation has consequently increased, and is increasing, to an unparalleled extent. But the case is different with the old humbugging journals down town. The effect of the early transmission of intelligence by the electric telegraph, has been to cut down their already limited circulation. It is no wonder that the respectable old ladies that conduct them are caterwauling and complaining. They are alrendy so far behind the age, that every impetus given to the transmission of news, deals a mortal blow to their lumbering existence. The telegraph is only extended to Philadelphia, and from Baltimore to Washington, and they already complain loudly. When the chain is uninterrupted between here and Washington, it is evident that those journals must soon be totally*annihilated. The cash pa- pers that spare no painsnor expense to furnish the public with the earliest intelligence, will incrense in circulation and influence ; while those lazy, lumbering, sleepy Wall street journals, will bring to a miserable close their already too protracted existence. Serve them right. Meantime, we shall publish each day, whenever we receive news of sufficient importance to be communicated to the public, an extra, or half-n- dozen extras, if necessary, giving, up to the latest moment, the intelligence received from Washing- ton and from the camp. This we will do, regard. less of the enormous expense consequent on our exertions. ik out, then, for the extras. Wuar's 1x Tue Wixpt—We understand that or- dors wore received yesterday in this city, from the ‘WarfDepartment, countermanding the orders re- cently issued for the four companies stationed in and around the harbor of New York, to proceed to the Rio Grande. What is the cause of this movement? Does the President apprehend the bombardment of New York? and does he intend to leave those soldiers to man the batteries at Fort Hamilton, and other placest A few hours may explain the mystery. From Beuze, Hoxpvnas.—Dy the Maria ' arrived last night, from the above place, fins ceived files of the Gazette to the 26th April. There is no news of importance. From Mr. E. Fitz- gillon, the editor of the Gazette, who came pas- senger in the M. G., we gather the following :— Provisions were high and scarce 3 white pine timber was selling at $86 per thousand feet ; there ‘was no shingles in the market. The Maria made the pgtsage to Belize and back, in tho short space of twenty-four days. FROM THE SOUTH. WAR PROOREDINGS. new G@ttasa as Teed In the New Orleans papers, we find the proclamation of Gen. Ampudia, which. is dated April 6th, head quarters, on the road to Matamoras. He distributed that document through the American camp, saying the American government is unworthy of a chris tian name. It is directed to English and Irish, under orders of Ampudia. Gen. Taylor appears to them as being born in Great Britain—refers to our antipathies to their birth-place, and to the ef- forts to take Oregon, and calls on them with confi- dence, tocome tothe Mexican ranks, and guaran tes good treatment, and expenses paid till their arrival atthe beautiful capitol. ‘Germans, Poles, French, and individuals of other nations, separate pourseleen from the Yankees, and do not contri- ute to robbery aad usurpation, which civilized Europe will look upon with the utmost’ indigna- tion.

About one thousand or twelve hundred volun- teers, able, ready, and wii » have already enrolled themselves for service on th In reply to resolutions addressed to the Governor on the 4th inst., he stated that he was informed by the Brigadier-Genoral, enough of men, he belioved, would volunteer to fill up the call made on the State, without having recourse to drafting any portion of them from the militia. Upwards of forty journeymen printers have enrolled themselves as volunteers. Governor Johnson officially intimated, on the 4th inst., to the Louisiana House of Representatives, that should the number of volunteers not come up to the required amount, of which no foars are ente: , recourse would be had to drafting. On Monday, the 4th inst, tents were pitched in the Place d’Armes, and two companies of Creoles were in ac- tive progress of formation. Navan Movements.—When the nows from the fron- tier via New 01 reached Pensacola, Commodore Saunders, of the U. 8. ship St. Mary’s, was ordered to get under way immediately for Brassos, 8t.

Gentlemen :—1 suppose your list of correspondents does not extend so far west an this country ; but asin all Pon papers you have some information respecting one lepartment or other of the Mexican Republic, you may cept some from this much-talked-of country. the act famous battle of Cajuanga Feb. 20th and 2st, 1345, be- tween 500 Mexicans and Californias, when six unfortu- nate horses lost their lives from cannon balls, the coun- try has been without wars. The Californians are pe- tiently waiting for the long expected Gén. Ynestro, and the thousand troops whc have been living, or rather dy- ing, at Acapulco the last year. Several vessels have been at anchor some months in that port, read: thefsoldiers, and only waiting for one article which is generally wanted in Mexican , her rich mines not- withstanding. Should Gen. Ynestro arrive here with as fair a proportion of onzas as soldiers, ho may be wel- colmed, and his welcome may continue, if by some chance the Supreme government continue hie cash sup- Lag j, otherwise he will follow Gens. Victorio, Echean- , Chico, Guttierez and Micheltorena, who from some reason or other that Mexico never inquired into, have invariably found their way bac to San Blas or Mazatlan with thelr troops, without any expense to those who sent them to Monterey. During the command of Gen. Micheltorena, he did afl he was capable of to conciliate the Californians, and often endeavored to prevent their using the expression, Mexicans and Californians. ‘Aro we not one—are we not all Mexicans? he would ob- serve; but it would not do. His lady, and those of his of- ficers in general, found themselves out of the so- ciety of the country, tore not very ac- ceptable, and before the battle some of them had quit Ca- ui ast.

The sons of John Bull or his transatlantic ) may emigrate to the land of pene ved a home here; but not always can a jexican do so. In fact, California is a trouble, an ex- Paemes and an eye-sore to the mother country; and if the loss of Texas has worn off her pride sufficiently, she will sell it as soon as possible. General Micheltorena and other generals, who have commanded here, have spoken of it asthe only remedy for peace and quietness. Nota real from the Custom House in Monterey ever reaches the general treasury,and an order from the President himself on this Custom House for $1000 would not be paid, nor could the owners sell it for a . There was One case where an officer was ordered to Monterey from ‘San Blas, and received an order on the treasu: of Cali- fornia for some thousand dollars, being his back pay for some time, a year or more. He offered it in Monterey for $400—no one would purchase. He in time married into one of the best families in California, and soon after collected the whole amount of past and present pay and the draft in full, and now is amuch esteemed citizen of the country, and in office.

Panx.—The tragedy of ‘Romeo and Juliet” was pre- sented last evening, Mrs. Mowatt as Juliet; Mr. Dyott as Romeo, and Mr. Vandenhoffas Mercutio. The produc- tion of this play, which we conceive to beone of the most difficult of Shakspeare’s, with the cast of the princi- pal parts, that we have mentioned, was a perilous under- taking, and we had fears for the result. But it went off better than we expected. Mr. Vandenhoff’s declining to undertake the part of Romeo was an instance of modesty that we are sure will not be without its appreciation. Of Mrs. Mowatt’s Juliet we cannot speak with any degree ofcertainty. The garden scene we did not happen to witness, and that scene is one of the greatest tests of an actress's capscity for undertaking Juliet. Her acting, as much as we saw of it, was | ace and impassioned, although we donot ‘think {t politic for her to lertake characters that require such a world of practice as Juliet, on such limited experi- ence. Mr. Dyott’s Romeo was a series of lights and shadows. In the impassioned scenes he fective, but in the connecting —those 1k es which show practice and plianc; than ‘ie heavier scenes—he was not so scene was highly tragic and effective. Mr. Vandenhoft’s Mercutio was a natural piece of acting. His conception of the character was chaste and elegant, and it was well carried out. At the close of the ly Mrs. Mowatt, in accordance with the repeated of the audience, was led before the curtain by Mr. Barry, and bowed her acknowledgments. Mr. Dyott was matoecoentl called outand made aneat speech. To-night ‘ Love’ fice” will be repeated. Mrs. Mow: as Margaret, and Mr. Vandenhoff as Matthew Elmore. Bowsry Turatar.—The very attractive performances of last evening at the Bowery, being for the mutual be- nefit of Messrs.

The citizens of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgie and, South Carolina, are making great efforts to complete the reat Southern Railroad to connect the waters of the At tic with those of the Mississippi river, and there is very little doubt but that their efforts will ultimately be successful. The road is intended to connect Jacksen, Mississippi, with Montgomery, Alabama, a direct distance of 108 miles in Mississippi, and 124 miles in Alebama, or about 240 miles on probable location of the roed. From Jackson, it connects with the Mississippi river et Vicke- burg, by means of the railroed now in use. Eventually, it will probably have a branch to Natchez, and extenaions westward from the Mississippi river towards Texas. At Montgomery it connects with the Montgomery and West Point Railroad, of which about forty-five miles are com- pleted, and the remainder, near forty-five miles, princt pally graded, and the work in active progress. It je ex” pected to be completed to West Point next year. From this point to the Macon and Western Railroad, ise die tance of fifty-three miles.

A better feeling exists in the street to-day, and prices have experienced a slight improvement. The sales ware to a fair extent, and the tendency of prices is to- wards a further advance; Pennsylvania 5’s improved 1} per cent, Reading Railroed 1}, Reading Railroad Bonds 1}, Farmers’ Loan }, Morris Cans) }, Harlem j, Canton 1, Long Island 1, Norwich and Worcester 1}. At the se- cond board, Reading Railroad went up 1 per cent. The stock speculators of Wall street have recovered from the war panic, and prices are steadily improving.— No nows is considered good news, and should we be without further advices from the army of occupation, it is possible quotations may reech the point they fell from: Any advance realised, cannot be but temporary, as there are so many things likely to depress the market, and de- stroy confidence. Independent of any difficulty that may grow out of a collision with Mexico, there are local causes why prices for fancy stocks cannot permanently improve. The expenditures of the government, in rais, img and providing for troops, and the increase in the na- vy, must be large, and drafts upon the banks holding government funds will have a tendency to tighten the money market, particularly of this city. This, alone, will keep the stock market heavy. Should the next accounts from the Rio Grande be of a very alarming character, or even should the advices we have received be confirmed, in the most important par, ticulars, quotations for fancy stocks will reach a lower depth than they have yet, and those now near bottom will go completely out of sight. Itis a very extraordi- nary fact, that during the recent panic, prices of govern- ment and State stocks experienced a greater depression than those of a fancy character. One reason for this may be the fact that many of the fancies were very much depressed in prices previous to the receipt of this war intelligence, while government and State stocks had been comparatively very slightly affected by the accounts previously received. Notwithstanding the semi-official shape in which the secounts from the scene of war have been received, and the confirmation of the statements from time to time, there are many operators in Wall street still incredulous, refusing to believe one half the reports received. Then, operators sustain the market to» greet extent, and unti thelr confidence is destroyed, we may look for « firmuoys feprices. Nothing short of an actual engegemen { be connexions has been granted. This road binds together the Charleston and Sevannab lines, and is within a few months ofentire completion 101 miles, from Maocan to Alabema. For all prectical purposes, therefore, the Southern Railroad is the only wanting link in the chain to bind the Mississippi river to the Atlantic Ocean, both at Charleston and Savannah. The road is estimated to cost $8,000,000. Towards this, amount the company has that part of the two per cent fund of Alabame, $600,000, set apart for this route, and loaned to the Montgomery and West Point railroad com, yy, with the two per cent fund of Mississippi, amount- ing to nearly $200,000 more, asa gift, to encourage sub- scription of stock. In addition to these amounts, the Se nate bill will no doubt pass both Houses of Congress, granting alternate sections of the public land along the proposed road. The subscription of the whole amount will require but $150,000 in cash—e lke amount next De cember, and February, and April following, being $450, 000 more within the yeer.
