NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, May 30, 18946. Fulk and Official Partienlars | or THe | G@RHAT BATTLES | oN THE | RIO GRANDE. 15 FIELDS OF PALO ALTO, AND | RESACA DE LA PALMA, | ALSO OF The Fortifications Opposite Matamoras. The Weekly Herald, to be ready at 8 o'clock this morning, will be one of the most interesting and va" luable publications of the day. It will contain full and efficial accounts of the two great battles—the incidents of the engagements—a very correct plan of the fortifications opposite Matamoras, showing the range of our cannon—an excellent plan of the fields of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, on which the brilliant battles were fought, with the position of the two armies—and all the military and naval preparations throughout the Union. The correct and comprehensive plans were drawn on the spot, expressly for the New York Herald, by attaches of the Topographical and En- gineering corps This valuable publication will be ready to go to Eu- rope in the Britannia, that leaves Boston on Monday.

The steamship Britanni: tt, will leave Bos- ton on Monday for Halifax and Liverpood, and her letter bags will close in this city at half past 1 o'clock to-mor. row afternoon, They are to be taken in a special train over the Long Island Railroad. ‘The Weekly Herald,with the important news of the week, will be ready to go by the mail of this afternoon. The Herald for Europe will be issued at 12 o'clock to-morrow noon. The latter publication will contain the latest intelli. gence from the Rio Grande, and be splendidly embellished with seven engravings of the plan of the fortifications,the position of the armies on the field of battle, views of the camp of the “‘ Army of Occupation” at Corpus Christi, of Galveston, of Vera Cruz, &e. &c.; all of which illustrates the recent events in Mexico and Texas. The Herald for Europe will also contain the latest commercial intelligence. Single copies, in wrappers, sixpence. The English News, ‘The monster steamship, Great Britain, arrived yesterday morning about eleven o’clock, after a tedious passage of twenty days. From the fuct of her beating every thing in our harbor, on her way up to the city, we were not a little astonished at her long passage; but we learn that an accident which occurred when she was but five days out, compelled her to use sails only, for about a week, at sea. The news is not particularly important. The English press had received intelligence of the pas- sage of the Oregon resolutions in the Senate, the day before the Great Britain sailed, by the way of | Havre—and generally the English press seems to have formed a favorable opinion on the tone ofthe resolutions and the character of the closing debates on that subject. Yet we cannot argue much as to the ultimate destiny of the Oregon question from the tone ofthe English press. Symptoms are indi- cated here and there of a hostile spirit towards this country. Mr. Peel’s government, or the po- tato-administration, as it is called, proceeds slow- ly with the corn and coercion bills, and will, pro- bably, succeed in carrying both measures,and then go out of office. The debates in Parliament were extremely monotonous and dull. The affair be- tween Webster and Ingersoll seems to occupy v good deal of attention in the English press. The London Times copies a number of articles from the New York Herald, in relation to the investiga- tion, and declares its disbelief in any charges against him, until fully established by the most ir- refragible testimony. A great deal of credit is awarded to Mr. Webster for the high statesman. | ship he exhibited in the negociations on the North Eastern boundary question; and not one of the English journals will believe that he used any corrupt weapons in effecting the peaceable termi- nation of that troublesome question. On the whole the news is good in every point of view; and it will probably be more so, when the accounts of the recent victories by American arms on the Rio Grande, shall be received there. The usual corn and money articles will be found under their appropriate heads. Important Movement. We are happy to learn that the Post Master General has concluded a contract with Messrs, Edward K. Collins & Co., of this city, for a semi- monthly line of steam ships,to connect New York with Liverpool. This contract has already been submitted to | cominittees in Congress, who will, probably, make their report in less than ten days. It will, of course, be for the immediate passage of a bill to sanction the contract. We may then expect a line of splendid steamers—a line that will be an honor and an ornament to the nation. Action seems now the word on this side of the Atlantic. Tue Strate Convention.—Thé convention for reforming the censtitution of this State will begin its session on Monday next in Albany. We have already given full views of the purposes for which this convention was elected. It receives, howe- ver, but very little attention, since the breaking out of the war with Mexico, and the achievement | of the recent victories on the Rio Grande. The | convention may, probably agree on some consti | tution, that will embrace some points of reform— | points having reference to the financial action of the State, the judiciary, and the right of voting. | We do not believe that the colored population will be allowed to vote at all under the new con- | stitution. The convention will be divided into | three parties o¢ factions—the whigs,conservatives, | and barnburners ; the two latter being sections of | the democratic party. Ostensibly it is an assem- blage to revise the constitution, but it may be looked upon as a political club to organize parties anew, and make arrangements for the elevation of factions hereafter. We shall keep an eye on their proceedings, and report them. Crry Rerorw.—An election will take place on Monday next for Public School Commissioners, } and also for members of the City Convention, to | amend our city charter. A reform in our city | government has always been urged by this jour- | nal, and there now seems some prospect of its being effected. We trust the people will turn out on the occasion, and send none ‘as members to this convention but men who have the interests of he city at heart, so that we may have a new go- vernment, arranged on practical principles. $$, War with Mexico.—We understand that the Adjutant General will be in town in a few days, for the purpose of mustering into the service the first and second regiments of volunteors from this } portlig’W French “democratic journal in this city | gentlemen, of the | the object of the Meeting to suppert the Frante-Americain.

A call for Mr. Masson, the editor of the Franco-Ameri- cain, was made by several gentlemen.

A call was again made for Mr. Masson to come forward and explain the situation of the paper. A gendeman the treasurer and book-keeper of the Franco-2mericain, then came forward, and, inthe absence of Mr. Masson, read a statement of accounts, and of the positionof the journal. By this statement, it appeared that the paper a commenced on the promise of two gontlemen, who gaged, each one, to advance $1500, One of these gen- Uemen, ‘owing to unforseen circumstances, only’ ad- vanced the small sum of $120. The other advanced $595. The latter gentleman would have continued his advances, if an unforseen and unfortunate event had not thrown an obstacle in the way of his good intentions. Sum advanced, $715. To this may be added $300 re- ceived for advertisements and subscriptions. A calcula- tion was then made on the basis of the fact that 400 sub- scribers were obtained in two months : at that rate, 2000 might be obtained ina year. Add $1000 for advertise- ments, &c. &o., and then there will be a clear profit of fas ee week, out of which a dividend to the shareholders would accrue, The statement mentioned the honorable fact, that, notwithstanding it was agreed Mr. Masson should receive $50 a month out of the advances made as editor in chief, yet, not to harrass the gentlemen who advanced the funds for money, and in order to facilitate the administration of the journal, he had not received acent of the The statement having been finished, was greeted with spplause by the meetiug.

Mr. Leenarr, the President, returned thanks in a neat address. meeting then ‘adjourned, the committee remaining to discuss and arrange business. There appeared to be a generous forwardness to sub- seribe for and supecst the paper among the gentlemen present. Several came forward with money in hand, which, of course, was not taken until arrangements should be matured. : Licursine Srgep.—Immediately, when’ the Great Britain was tel graphed, we sent on the account by the lightning line to the editors at Phi- ladelphia, who sent back a request to be for warded an abstract of her news. The entire was performed within an hour! to and from Philadelphia. What next ? Theatrical and Musical. Panx Turatae.—The acting of the Keans last evening in the “ Stranger,” drew forth the repeated approvals of as fashionable and discriminating an audience as we have, for a long time, seen within this theatre. The piece was nobly sustained throughout; an®'the performances of the respective ladies and gentlemen who assisted the Keans, were worthy of all praise. This evening the Keans will again appear in the comedy of the " Twelfth Night” On Monday “ Richard the Third.” Bowery Turarne.—The “Lady of Lyons” was pro? duced last ovening, for asecond time during Miss Julia Dean’s engagement. Her “ Pauline” was rapturously applauded throughout. We confess that we have seldom seen a young debutante—for so we must call Miss Dean— upon the stage, win her way so triumphantly, and in so short a period, to popular favor, as this young lady since her appearance upon our boards, She has now run theen- tire range of the principal characters, that usually test the powers of the actress ; and in all she has acquitted her- self with infinite credit—putting her years and standing altogether out of the question. Her “Pauline” last night a most true and accurate conception — highly wrought—and her delineation truly chaste and correct. Davenport elnotte” wasadmirably sustained, and so was Clark’s “ Deschapell Indeed, the entire per- formance passed offin a highly creditable manner. ‘This evening, as appears by the bills, will be presented, at the Bowery, a banner fo “The Sons of '76,” a company “lately formed in this city, and destined for Yucatan, thence to the halls of the Montezumas, mainly by the ef forts of G. W. Dixon, who will accompany the expedi. tion, taking out a press and other apparatus, not only for the purpose of giving the latest Extras from the seat of war, but also to scatter matter among the Dons of the Mexican republic.” Dean is to deli ‘an address, and a variety of attraction is to be presented, No doubt a brilliant and crowded assemblage will ‘grace “Old Bowery” with their presence on this truly national occe- sion. Grerxwrcn.—Last night was quite a gala night at this popular theatre. It was the occasion of Miss Drake's benefit, and there was quite agood house. There was vaudeville, farce, songs, dance, and recitation, andthe au- dience was ie in roars of ighter. Mr. Nickinson appeared as Haitler in poor Powers’ favorite piece, ‘How to pay tho rent,” wad was veceived with enthusi- astic applause. Mr Nicke: nexi to Mr. Brougham, is now the best irish cou 1 ou the American stage. There were five pieces p laye , aud they went off to the eviden: delight of the audience. We think this estab- lishment iy destined to succeed pieces be continu- ed as were produced last cveuing. 1s evening Barne: Williams appears as ‘Dostur O'Toole” in the “ Iris! 'utor,” one of his best charactors, and there are four other pieces to be produced. Castie Ganpen.—The concerts at this establishment, continue to draw fashionable audiences. When this ba Weather ceas®s, we are confident that Uastle Garden will become one of the most popular, as it is, one of the most delightful resorts in the city. ‘The bill for this evening is a very fine one, consisting of the best selections from the most celebrated composers. ‘The musical director is Mr. C. W. Meyrer, who is a perfect master of his: profes sion. y Intelligence Lauxcu.—The fine ship Fairfield, designed for one of Geo. Bulkley’s line of Charleston packets, will be launch- ed this noon, say one o'clock, from the yard of her build- er, Mr. W. H. Brown, foot of 12th street, East river.— She is of course a splendid vessel, and is 675 tons burthen. The steamship Southerner, intended for the Charleston trade, under command of Capt. Berry, will be launched next Saturday. Boy Lost.—A little bo: od up inthe street by o ed to the alms house, _ Ixrant Fouw bout 11 o'clock, on Thursday evon- ing, a fine boy, an infant, was found lying on a door sill, at the corner of Washington Place and Mercer street. Steauine Umprettas—We would respectfully su; gest to the dele; to the State Convention whether it would not be a plan to inco: stitution a special clause,making it a heav; penal offence for one man to steal another man’s umbrella. Urabrella: have become, in these degenerate days, when all sorts of theories in regard to individual possession are broached, to bo considered as common property belonging to the first who can lay his hands on it. During the last rainy fortnight, hundreds of individuals have probably—settfng their umbrellas unconsciously down—had them suddenly snatched up and carried off. The former owner is then left to the choice of either dodging the drops or purchas- ing another umbrella. A man has the same right to take another's hat or cloak as his umbrella; and the theft of os ee wee Ltd tl eae to mere inconvenience an that of the former. A few suits for petty |: would be a good idea. pact ges ped Who steals my purso steals trash ; But he who filches from me my umbrella, Robs me of that which not enriches him, But makes me poor indeed. Tomrxins Squanr.—We took occasion to direct the at- tention of the authorities, some few days back, to the disgraceful and outrageous conduct of the lowest Jescrip- tion of rowdies, who infest the vicinity of Tompkins square, and attack and insult respectable females as they pass to and fro, and often prevent their injoyit a walk through this agreeable. placo of recreation.

We did not mean his place, which is respectable and well conducted ; but of the correctness of the general statement there remains no question of doubt. We are glad to find our notice has had the desired effect. Orexina Broapway.—Broadway, below the Park, was aged about 3 years, was pick- icer Wm.

New Or.xans, May 21st, 1846. Nothing new from the seat of war, where, at resent, think, of nocipgllies sac 5 fexe, we think, of nothing else ; an ive, by the Northera papers, that it is excil Imost if not quite as great exeitement there. The news from Washington of the passage of the war Dill, is very cheer buat these worthy individuals who have displayed their patriotism by voting against it, or talking against it, are marked with a tolerably large black spot, and are put down at the foot of the list. The veteran statesman, John Q., who was so very anxious fora war with E: land, has exhibited; in ail its natural deformity the cloven foot, displayed his true colors and hoisted the black flag. Our volunteers, who remain here, not having yet been received into the service, are Mia & impa- tient to get off. Forty companies have left for the scene ofaction. The Legion, numbering nearly a thousand, are all ready, and, by two or three days from this, three other regiments will be completed. Louisiana has certainly done her duty nobly, and been backed up by the brave Alabamians. The President ‘of the Bank of Louisiana, Mr. Benjamin Story, bas, to make use of a vulgarism, “‘put his foot in it”? complete. He suffered all the papers here to publish a report that he had tender- ed the Governor balf a milUon of dollars for the war expenditures, and praise him in the most ex alted terms, when he had never even thought of making any such patriotic offer. The bubble ex- ploded’on Monday, and exposed Mr. Story in no very enviable light.

Up to this time no later news from Texas. The steamboat Telegraph cannot be here before night, probably not until to-morrow. I attended the meeting last night, but the building was so crowded that I could not get a place to hear Pren- RLTANB, tice, Ileft, and attended the concert of the Slo- aa family. Very few there; but the music ait On coming out from the concert, I found an immense procession, with a band of music. I at first supposed that the eloquence of Prentice had moved the entire meeting, and that an army was formed, and going 0. the barracks ;_but soon ascertained it was the Story Guards. It ap- pears, as soon as Prentice was done speaking, that F. A. Lumsden, who is editor of the Prcay- une, addressed the meeting, and moved, as a mark of respect and gratitude for the unexpected liberali- ty of Benjamin Story, that the meeting form into a legion, to proceed to his house, which was una- nimously agreed to, and they moved off eight abreast, under command of Lumsden, On ar- riving at Story’s house, they formed in military ar- ray, and gave three times three groans and a vol- ley of hisses. After which the band struck up the Rogues March, and amidst hisses and groans the immense procession took up the line of march. They next proceeded to the house of Glendy Burke, Esq., President of the Canal Bank, and gave him three times three cheers, and three more—he addressed them in a short but very beautiful speech. After which they saluted Mr. Wilkinson, the cashier of the bank, After pro- ceeding to Canal street, they gave three hearty cheers for their leader, the Editor of the Picayune, and then dispersed. A secoud edition of this dose is expected to-night. Bombardment of Fort Brown. [From the New Orleans Picayune, May 21.] Came Orrosirr Maramonas, May 13, 1846. Since the evening of the 9th, nothing has transpired here. You may know ere this, that we gave the Mexi- cans “jesse” on the 8th and 98th.’ Gen. Taylor, after os- tablishing his little sand fort here, right opposite the town, left the 7th Infantry and two artille: pereise in it, with instructions to defend it to the death ; he then left with the remainder of his force for Brasos Santiago for supplies, and with the hope that the two mortars (which he had ordered six months ago,) had arrived from Wash- ington, and also to bring up ammunition enough for our four 18 pounders to batter down Matamoras. General T. and command left on the Ist of this month. On the morn- ing of the 3d, at daylight, the Mexicans opened their bat- teries on our fort, or rather our grand entrenchments ; from that moment it was right hot work until 12 o’clock, when both parties had to cease until their guns would cool. Was you ever shot at, in front, with a 12 pounder, in the flank by a 6 pounder, and sheli directed to burst over your head? If not, try it, just to Lic 4 enjoy a brandy toddy after the gun-cooling begins ell, after coatinued, varied only by a lit- the refreshments the ball, tle more “‘ vindictate louseness” and wild-colt comet-like flying of shells, It was only 23 minutes after we com- menced our fire, before one of our 18 pound shot struck their 12 pound cannon directly isthe muzzle, and knock- edit, head, back, and stomach, into the air about 20 fect, and it was accompanied by legs, heads, and arms, Seven Mexican officers wore wounded, and eight privates, wno were around their piece, killed ' We have not heard from their 12 pounder since, and so hot was the little fort in which it had been piaced, that they were compelled to abaadon it. When the fie first came, I rushed into my tent and jerked up my rifle, and as I stepped out, a nine pound shot struck my tent at the head of my bed, ranged the whole length of my bed, cut off the back upright pole, passed out tho bac! yar through two other tents, and then buried itse!f in the parapet. I’m glad I was not “caught napping.” In the first hal’ hour a sergeant of ie Lee’s compa- oy wes killed; he wae carried over to the hospital tent, (tull of sick,) and directly after he was laid ona bed, a bomb shell was throwu through the top of the tent, lit near the bed, burst and blew the dead man’s head off without injuring any one else, On Wednesday, the éth } 3dday of the bombardment, Major Brown wi onthe leg with a bom)-rheli, and his le; amputated—he died on the 9th. These are the only two we have lost during the wholo of the hombardment, which commencedon Sunday, the 3d, lasted, with little intermission, day and night, until the next Satur. day, atdark. During this time, the enemy had thrown about 3,500 shots—solid and sbell—amongst us. It is incredible that the damage should hi been so slight. Finding we could not dismount their mortars—they being sank in the ground, with thick embank:nents in front— and having only about 400 rounds ci ammunition to our cannon, we went to work to throw up @ kind of iempo- Tory vombproof ehelter, by taking. our barrels of pork, laying sticks of wood across them, and throwing up six feet of earth upon that. These built at points iu the fort where they would be convenient for the men; and when we saw the amoke from their guns, every one would fail from the parapet, und " hole.” When we would see a shell coming, we would fall upon the Found, as the explosion een takes place upwards. the Mexicans thought they had killed nearly ali of us, “ they were ander the impression that all who fell were shot. It was very disgusting to stand and bo fired atall round, and not be able to return it ‘in full force and virtue ;” but, knowing our ammunition was scarce, we reserved it till the desth struggle should come on. We were in hopes that, after a reasonable time oi bombarding, the enemy would attempt to storm us. Two or three ieints were made, but they couid not be brought to the scratch. Five mortars were playing on us at ouce, from overy point of their works. Gen. Taylor's orders to us were to maintain this post, and not pretend to make any eally, or risk in the least iis position here ; but in case We were surrounded after he leit, tuat sigaai at certain intervals, which woul’ This notice was gi: to the G our guns at Point Isabel. ‘uns should be fired tify him of the fact ral, as they heard all On the 8th, the General com- menced his march with the train of provisions. and when about twelve miles from here, he saw the enemy in posi- tion. He immodiately “walked into their affections.” We heard the firing of cannon on both sides, and dis tinctly the volleys of musketry. We knew well that it was the General poking it into their short ribs. We had then stopped to “licker ;” ‘but at the first gun we sprung to our parapets, opened our batteries, and for one hour we had the prettiest little cannon fight that ever a man beheld. They gave us gun for gun, while we slung at them ‘the best the shop contained.” But wait, I forgot one thing : On the first Wednesday, after the bombardment had lasted three days, the enemy “sounded a parioy.° Major Seawell and Lieut. Britton were ordered to go out and see what they wanted. They did so, and the Mexicans demanded the surrender of the fort “for humanity's sake.” They gave us one hour to surrender, or they would put as all to the sword. They brought us a letter from Gon. Arista to our commanding officer. The commanding officer, Capt. Hawkins—Brown had been shot just before—had a council of war called, and said he presu:ned we were unanimous on such points, but that he ost the matter to vote as to their feel- ings. The vote of the youngest member was taken first, #0 on throughout. “This was the unanimous vote : “Defend the place to the death.” General Arista was in thirty minutes replied to as follows: That tre had receiy- ed his humane communication, but not understanding jth the Nee Lenguage, we were doubtful if we ad ‘unde! exactly his meaning; but from all we could understand, he had proposed that we give him pos. session of this place or we would all be put to the sword in ope hour; if this was the proper understanding, we would respectfully decline the proposition, and “ took this rtunity to assure his Excellency of our distin- guished consideration.” After the reception of this by his xcellency” it just rained balls. The different mortars kept two pair of “‘saddle-bags” in the air all the time, va- ried only by their 6 and 4 pounders. But in the midst of all the storm the Star Spangled Banner still floated on our breast works, at the point where they directed their strongest efforts; and we took out our two regimental colors and planted them on different parts of the wall, This fire was kept up all night while their musketry layed on us from the re: it the distance of five hun i yards.

[Lieutenant Blake served with General Worth throughout his opera- tions in Florida.) “Our troops have behaved with great intrepidity.— Every man has done his duty, My own gallant regiment speaks for itself in the list of killed and wounded—veri- fied by the colors of the crack Mexican regiment—that of Tobasco.

'As my regiment was marching down in line, m company marched directly upon a poor wounded Mexi- can, who raised his hand as if to deprecate any harm being done to him. My men shook hands with him, and re-assured him, giving him water and refreshments, and he was‘turned over to oug surgeons, and very kindl: treated. Since then, 150 o1 re of their wounded fe! into our hands, who have been all kindly treated * + . . We captured one of their generals—Gen. La Vega— and about twelve other officers, and 170 men. As for their killed and wounded, the whole ground around was covered with them. Every feeling of humanity was excited in my breast by such sights. We bivouscked that night on the ficld of battle and of victory, and late at night, about 11 or 12 o'clock, myself and another offi- cer sallied out in quost of wounded men. We had the satisfaction of saving one wounded Mexican, who was nearly exhausted from loss of blood, abandoned in the field, and passed over as dead by all'who had previously seen him. A sergeant who could talk Spanish :was along, who gave assurance to the poor fellow that he should be treated kindly, and taken to the doctor, which was his desire. . U.S. Suir St. Maryr’s, i Off Brasos Santiago, 13, 1846. We arrived here on the 10th inst., five days from Pen- sacola, and were greatly surprised’ to find our Commo- dore here with all his squadron. The Mississippi sailed with us for Vera Cruz, expecting to find the Commodore there, but when within a few miles of the anchorage, fell in with a schooner which had been despatched from this place, and commanded by Lieut. Renshaw, to the Commodore. (3 Md } i: bd In the last fight, Gen. Vega, who commanded the ene- my’s artillery, was taken at his guns. After thh action was over, but the enem: 1 in possession of his artille- ry, Gen. Taylor remarked to Col. Twiggs that it would never do for him to remain idle; to go and take the field pieces. The Colonel sounded the charge, and at one dash jece—thirty-five in all. Capt. May rode up yoga’ tapped him en the shoulder, and carried hin to Gen, Taylor where he gave up his sword. A day or two since there was an exchange of prison- ere; but as We have the greater number, General La Voga remains with us. He is at this time at the fort here. His parole was offered him, but he will not accept it, for the reason, says he, should i return to the city of Mexico, under parole, | shall receive orders to fight ‘do so, will confiscate all my again, and a refusal to ny prom perty, and possibly life, He sits silent for along time be- fore-ke is heard to ejaculate impossiblo—impossi- ble.” And then explains, that it must be an impossibility for 1,800 men to flog 7,000—and it does seem strange. Major Ringgold, whose company of Flying Artillery is supposed to have turned the tide of the battle with its skill and intrepidity, died the day before yesterday en shore here. He was shot iy: ¢ both thighs, and utation was nece! Capt. Thornton is alsu here; he as recovered from his insanity, but he is not quite out of danger. be Gen. Arista has sent a request to Gen. Taylor to spare Matamoras, and that he will issue a cessation of hostili- ti Gen. T. replied that he would think of it. I would net be surprised were Paredes to take the field in person —he once declared that he should do so in the event of war, Nodoubtthe account ofthese battles will shock his weak nerves, make him wrathy. We loarn that an army of 10,000 is on rch for the seat of action ; on the other hand, some say that advices have been sent to the President of Mexico to place that city ina sta‘e of defence. Already have the Mexicans entitled us the Devil.
