I have but little doubt that those who have but come into the field, and have not beam able to pate in setive service as yet. will distinguish themselves as ly as those who have gone before. Ths: thousands of voluateers who have, many of them. been brought up in affluence, have left hele waite and comfortable homes, to encounter the hardebipe. ofan active campatgn, isa sufficient nty that the rights end honor of our country will always be eneral shaking of hands and congratulations here ioaiteee eee. moments; after which Colonel Wright, of the Massachusetts volunteers, by invitation, read the Declaration of Independence. e@ company then partook of @ substantial Iuach provided by thy hospitable commander, who had a smile and @ pleasant word for all, and seumed happy in. being able to make Sthera so, He was dressed in undress uniform, and joked a little mote like the brave old hero that he is, hada little less like th plain, unaffected country gen- tleman—a very little—than } have yet seen him. At 1 o'elock, while the company were yet at camp, a na- tional salute was fired by Bragg’s battery, and before the found of the last gun had died away, the boomiug of eannon from the black fort seemed’ to echo back the lute. waAbout 9 o'clock Gen. Taylor andstaff, with an escort of dragoons, came into town, and with Gen. Cushing and the officers of the Mossachusctts Regiment, pro- eveded to Arista’s garden, or Arista’s house I should say, where a table was spread in the broad corridor opening into the garden with its bright green shrubs, its crimson rose bashes covered with fragrant flowers, ita well kept walks, aud the gurgling stream that me- auders through it. ‘The smell ot the bright gema of nature's handiwork was not mora ploaaing tian the odor which arose from the savory viands prepared for | {immediate consumption. Every one was surprised at the profusion of good tuings and the variety that was pluced upon tho table, all owing to the exertions of Capt, Glover, a merchant residing here for some years, one of the committee of arrangements, whose Peculiar province it was to eee that nothing should be Wanting. He performed bis daty to perfection. Claret, Madeira and Champagne in abundance served to give zent to the repast and aid in the sentimental expression of feeling. ‘When the snbstantials had been discussed and remov- ed, Gen, Cushing, who presided at the head of the table, ith Gen, Taylor on his right, arose and after some re- marks complimentary to the committee of arrangements for the faithful manner in which they had cared for their guetts, proceeded to announee the following regular foaats. which I think you will admit are better than re- gular set toasts generally are :— The Day we Celebrate—As dear to us ina strange clime and the midst of war as when welcomed at our eful homes. The President of the United States. ‘The Memory of Washington—Brightening. with timo, all nations will at lust behold and admiro its lustre. The Army and the Volunteers of tho United State ‘They have conquered sll but peace. The Navy of the United States—With amphibious facility fuding no enemy on the waters, it has con. stantly sought and sucoossfully encountered him on the land. ‘The Constitution—May it ever be administered in the spirit which controlled its first furmation. The Surviving Heroes of the Revolution—Length of ays bus been vouchsafed to them that they might be- hold the marvellous results of their youthful totl—all honor to their venerable names. ‘Our Brethren in Arms at the South—They have light- ed their paths with # blaze of victories. Mexico—Blessed with a genial clime and the physical lements of greatness and power, she is# prey to civil strife and bad government; may the influence of wiee rulers and free institutions restore her to her proper rank among the nations of the earth. ‘The Spirit of ‘76—It burns as brightly among the mountains of Mexico as of old at Trenton. “Skies, not souls, they change who cross the sea.” ‘The Mexican War—Waged to secure an honorable ‘and a lasting peace, may such be its early consumma- tion. ‘The Mlustrious Dead—From l’alo Alto to Cerro Gordo, every fleld is consecrated by the sacrifice of gallant spirits; a sympathizing country yields spontaneous and grateful homage to their memory. . The American Fair—Worthy descendants of the wo- men of the Revolution, their hearts and es are with those who uphold their country’s cause in a foreign land. ‘These sentiments were all drank with the strongest testimonials of admiration, and all was harmony. About seventy persons, including a number of citizens, partook of the repast. Volunteer toasts being called for, Lieut.

San Juan Bacrista pr Tapasco, July 1, 1847, My last epistie from this place, dated some time ago, notitled you that we were «bout to leave this city to return to our ships, having garrisoned the place with » force which was thought ruficient to hold itunmolested; but the spies of the military isaders were about, and no sooner were our backs turned than they organized on the outekirte of the city, und commenced a rystem of annoyance which harassed the garrison night and day. A mne!l party, uoder the command of Lieut. Com- mouding Porter. of the steamer Spitfire, was fired upon nd one man wounded, but they took ample revenge by laying out some six or oizit of the attacking force. Added to this disagreeatle way of skirmishing was a report, widely circulated and generally believed, that General Bruno, and other leaders, were assembling an army tocome down upon the city, and this rendered it advisable for the commanding officer at this place to de- spatch u boat to inform the ( vminander-in-Chief ot the atate of affairs, and request w reinforcement. Scarcely had I aired my room ere this report reashed ua, and the Commodore. with the utmost prom tituar, in which con- sists the grand secret of his general succcss, despatched the Marine officer of the Missivsippi with a full company of Marines, gathered from the vessels of the squadron, and one additional field piece, with about sixty officers and seamen as ertillerists. ‘The steamer Vixen trans- ported this reinforcement up the long river, and wo ur- rived here two days ago, much to the gratification of our numerous friends, brother soldiers, nud sailors. We were immediately ordered by Cour Bigelow to hold ourselves in readiness to march on tite following morn- ing (30th ult ) four or five miles into the interior, in quest of theenemy. Accordingly, yesterday morning at daylight, was assembled in the Plaza, a battalion of sea- men and marines, with two field pieces, properly organ- ized, and, without delay, the force was put in motion, un- der the command of Com'r Bigelow, Lieut. Alden acting asadjutant. After we had cleared the town, our road wound along through 2 somewhat hilly portion of the country, and, as my company was in the advance, | stopped at a turn of the road and cast my eye along the line,and it was traly an edifying sight.” ‘I'he marines, properly uniformed, with the bright barrels of their muskets glittering in the sunbeams ; one company of sailors, in blue jackets and white trousers, then came the artillery, andthe teut ensemble was a fair turn out. highly creditable to the commander and tho naval service. ‘Three or four miles on our route we passed through a deserted town; the people, by the way, were yet fly- ing from it when we entered the suburbs. Droves of horses, cattle and sheep were grazing, but we left them aumolested, for the flankers had taken prisoner, who informed us that at tue next town, # mile farther, the enemy wasin force and would give us battle ; and then we struck out with right good will, and soon, on accend- ing the brow of a hill, descried our competitors for glory that day, drawn up in line and in martial array— But they opened too soon Upon us. Before we got within a hundred yardsthey commenced blazingaway at us, but their halts did but little damage, We pressed ona short distance, and then wero ordered to halt, until the artil- lery oame into line. This I regretted exceedingly, and wasanxious to push forward within sixty yards, that we might bag a Mexican at every shot. And now they pep- pered ue Fight checrily, and we returned their fire in good earnest. At length the artillery opened, ands few dis- charges broke their lines; they rallied in squads, and popped at us from the chaparral and bushes. At this stage of the action the order was given to forward, and notwithstanding the shot from the enemy were dropping around us on every quarter, onward we pressed with « cheer such us sailor men only oan give vent to. When- ever the tire became too hot from any particular part of the chaparral, we slewed a gua and sent a stand of grape among Uhem, and thus tighting we reached the centre of the town, which is called Tamulte, and is beautifully located on an undulating eminence, with hill and valley covered with primitively constracted houses, garden sentiment war drunk with three times three.) General Taylor rose to respond to this sentiment, and said :— Mr. Parsipent axp Gawriemen—I have never had the vanity to aspire to or look for that elevated sivuation whieh bas just been alluded to, but if my fellow-coun trymen think proper to elevate’ me to ao distinguished and honorable a position, | certainly shall do my bost to discharge the duties of that responsible position faith- fully. But if wny other candidate is preferred and offered who may be more competent than myself, I necd not sey that I shall acquiesce most cheerfully in their decision, and shall rejoice thut there is one more worthy to represent them in the highest office in their gift. He then gave as a toast ‘The State of Massachusetts and the City of Boston— Tho place where our liberties were cradled ; whose sons have borue so conspicuous a part in the establishment ‘and maintainance of the principles of our independence and the constitution, and have gallantly maintained the sume by sea and land. Col. Wricnt responded— Massachusetts and the eity of Boston; itis my native State and my native city, and the State where many of us who have been complimented this day were bern.

Our officers not only wade the plan of battle, ordered the centest, and plauted themselves in the first rank, but placed them- selves in the post of danger, and where the cry of danger was loudest, the boom of cannon heaviest, and the iron hailstorm thickest, there were found the gallant genera! and bis officers. 1: was not in the cathedral of Monte- rey that the American commander was found, beneath the impervious walls ot the city that our gallant officers sheltered themselves that day; not iu the deep ravines of Buena Vista that the general and his officers took re- pose; to Gen.

BENNETTS LETTERS FROM RUROPE. ‘The Steamship Washington—Meanness of the British Post Office Department—The Cheap Newspaper Press of Europe—The English Elections. Sovruameron, July 10, 1847. I left London the day before yesterday, and came down to Southampton in three hours, prin- cipally for the purpose of seeing the new steamer Washington, and of ascertaining the truth of the numerous rumors circulated about her in Lon- don. The country is most beautiful at this sea- son of the year, and the ride very pleasant.— Southampton is a prettily situated town, and is beginning to be on the gui vive since the arri- val of the American steamer. Yesterday [ went on board the Washington— I saw Captain Hewitt and the American Consul. During her first voyage, several untoward cir- cumstances retarded herspeed, and the efficiency of her powers; but from what I have seen and learned, I have no doubt of the ultimate success of the American steam navigation over both French and English, come from what quarter it may. Ina few years all foreign steamers will be outstripped, and in a few more, they will be positively driven from the Atlantic. This is my faith. The Washington isa most beautiful mode! ef a ship, and her internal arrangements are on the plan of the packet service, which is general- ly allowed to be far superior to any other system prevailing in foreign vessels. { allude to the cabins, kitchens, berths, and other accommoda- tions. Inher machinery some slight mistakes have been made, owing to the hurry of getting her afloat; but [have every confidence that those that are to follow, will avoid these errors. Her hot wells were too small for her powers—she has now got new and larger hot wells. Other improvements have been made, and it is now be- lieved that her voyage to New York—on which she starts this day—will realise the expectations of her friends. Great efforts are making in London and else- where to discourage American steam navigation across the Atlantic. Even the government is concerned in this mean purpose—the British Post Office Department has, I understand, levied a higher rate of postage on letters received in Eng- tand on American steamers than upon the Bri- tish steamers from Boston to Liverpool—that is to say,they allow nothing for American steamers. This isa most impudent attempt to levy a dis- criminating tax, in favor of their own vessels, and I trust that Congress, at the first week of the session, will take care to set matters to rights.— Only think of one-third or one half more postage being carged on letters reaching tne shores of England by the American steamers than upon those of English vessels ! Iam very much pleased with Southampton as a port forthe American steamers, It is nearly equi-distant from London and Paris, and intelli- gence from both these. points reaches this place of departure quicker than from Liverpool. All the advantage which the latter has, is in the cot- ton market, and the manufacturing districts. A very curious controversy has broken out in London among the newspapers, relative to the cheap press, growing out of a singular announce- ment made by the Morning Chronicle, that it in- tended, in a few weeks, to reduce the price of its sheet to its patrons. I have already stated that the}Daily News, not undcr the regime of Dickens, who wae unfit for his post, but by other and bet- ter management, has commenced as great a re- volution in the press of London, as that which the Herald did in that of New York twelve years ago, or the Presse did in Paris about the same period. It iseven # greater revolution; for! am persuaded that, in the present position of English politics, the movement in the London press involves most important political and so- cial changes in the future action of parties. The adhesion of the Morning Chronicle to the cheap system of journalism, is another proof of the ex- tension of the power, influence and action of the middle and lower ranks of the people. The Daily News is merely leading the way to a vast and un- told revolution in the condition of England.— The cheap press of Paris is at this day in the midst of a vast revolution, which is only retard- ed by the talent, skill and spirit of Lonis Phi- lippe alone. ;When he dies, then look out for the first effort of the great mass of the French to ob- tain that Jiberty"which they have never yet en- joyed. Forthe United Siutes, I need not enu- merate the great and valuable results which have followed the establishment and growth of tne cheap newspapers. Before that era, the ras- cally politicians and office-seekers of both par- ties were all powerful, and could control the press as they listed. Now, there is a power es- tablished by the great body of the people, far be- yond their reach. In London and Paris, the cheap and independent newspaper press has a greater and longer battle to fight—they have an old and terrible aristocracy in England, and a modern despotism in France ; but the victory will be certain, in due process of time. The elections are very rapidly approaching all over the three kingdoms. These elections differ in character from any that have hitherto taken place inacentury. All parties are broken up— the old factions of whig and tory hardly exist. Every element of political life isin a state of confusion, and] have no doubt a House of Com- mong will be returned, which will bring forth, noone can tell what. One thing is certain—the great monopoly of pdWer, heretotore retained by the aristocracy and their supporters, is grad- ually slipping away, and will in time, find a lodgment among the great body of the people.— Among the journalists of Londen, in all parties, there is a jealously and dislike towards the aris- tocracy, which will show itself in the broadest way one of these days. The social position of the London, journalists is not acknowledged at the exteat Whioh it iain Parle, This narrows roinded exclusiveness creates the most bitter feelings among the mewspaper writers towards ajl the aristocracy and their principal retainers, | The character of the approaching elections, and the singularjmovement going on in the London newspaper press, are alike in certain tendencies, and will gradua ly lead to vast changes in the social and political condition of the various classes in England. ‘Two weeks later from South America—Very Quick Passage. The splendid bark Guilford, Captain Appleton, arrived ,at this port early yesterday morning from Rio de Janeiro, after a passage of thirty- two days. The Guilford has made a very remarkable voyage. She has been absent from this port but ninety days; in that time she suiled from here in ballast or Richmond, Va., where she took in her cargo; shé thence sailed for Rio, where she discharged her cargo and re-loaded; she thence sailed on her return to this port, and after the very short run of thirty-two days, anchored in New York harbor. This is a most astonishing voyage ; itis one of the quickest on record, and Captain Appleton may feel proud of it; his movementa were so rapid that he reported his own arrival and de- parture at each port. Our famous news clipper Teazer boarded her, a considerable distance at sea, at daylight yes- terday morning, and despatched her news to the New York Herald office by carrier pigeons by the “‘uirline.” These swift aerial news messen- gers reached the city about seven o’clock, pass- ing the lightning line which run along the shore beneath them. The latest Rio paper received by us is the Jornal do Commercio of the 29th of June. We learn, verbally, that the ill-feeling between the Brazilians and Americans continued to exist, and that it had spread throughout the Brazilian population. The Americans were anxiously looking for the Ohio and the relief squadron. The Ohio will probably reach there in about two weeks, with the Hon. Mr. Tod, our new minister, on board.

It is said that the Brazilians throw every im pediment in the way of :the American ship mas- ters, They still retain the Sarah and Esther and Yeoman. We are under the impression that Brazil will have her hands too full in warding off the blows from Rosas, of Buenos Ayres, to quar- rel with the United States. We feel sure that on the arrival of Mr. Tod, the new American Minister, and of Mr. Lisboa, at Rio, the Brazil- ian government will see the folly of its course towards this country. The frigate Columbia was‘at Rio; the brig of war Bainbridge was on a cruise, rendering effi- cient service. The news contained in the Jornol do Comer- cio, is uninteresting. The Senate were still in session, but the business they were engaged in was local, and we do not see any allusions made to affairs with thiscountry.

From the specimen of the reports of their con- gressional proceedings in the official papers, newspaper tactics seem advancing in Brazil.

Scott, of the bark Mason Barny, whose arrival from Montevideo we huve the pleasure of recording, we are in- debted for a copious supply of newspapeis; in addition to which we have our regular files of the Commercio del Plata,published ‘at Montevideo, to June Ist, as well as complete files of the British Packet and the Gaceta O Mercantil, published at Buenos Ayres, to the 28th of May. ‘The intelligence, however, has been in the main already given, haying been received via Rio Janeiro.

He also failed, and now they have sent out Lord Howden aud Gount Walesky, (withdrawing Ousley, Deffaudis, and the French Admiral, Lane) hoping, no doubt. that these great men will be able to pull wool over Rtosas’ and Osibe’s eyes; but the opinion is that they will not head them oif this time, and no doubt the arrangements are made with Brazil to furnish men to do the fighting, 1» case they fail in their object. ‘This arrangement on the prt of Brazil is wisely made, for they huve eventually to fight with Rosas, and they can do it much better uid eafer on his own territory,aud particularly when backed by England and France, for should peace now be made, and an opportunity offered to Rosas to march an army into their country, he would most aseuredly make the empire tremble, as he would declare the slaves free. who constitute a large portion ot the inhabitants; and at least one third, if not half of the white inhabitants are discontented, and would join ‘And again, with peace, England would be et it Rosas indirectly, which sho would do, if er object but to put down slavery.

Ray to the Troy and Erie tow-boat line. A vast ma- jority of our citizens are not aware of the princi- | ple which that grant was sought to establish. The land under water which surrounds the city, belongs to the people of the State—the right to | construct piers is ceded to individuals far public | benefit and accommodation, and with the express | condition that no more shall be charged for the ye of such piers than the rates specified by statute. For public good, a power has been given to the Corporation, upon the application of the own- ers of such piers, to appropriate them “for the exclusive use of steamboats, or of any other class or description of vessels.” But the law gives no power to such proprietors to ask or claim from those ¢o0 whom such exclusive grant may be made, a greater amount for the hire or use of the pier than that which is specified by the act of 1818. The grant of Pier No. 4 is sought, that the principle may be established (forthe proprietors of the other piers in the North River,) that they may be let or leased to the highest bidder, and taken from the control of the harbor masters appointed by the State Government. If this should be at- tained, there would cease to be any regular rate of wharfage; nor would there, in a few years, be a single wharf or pier within the limits of the city government that a ship could of right use. The success, therefore, of the proprietors of Pier No. 4,would domore to destroy and hamper the commerce of the port than fire or pestilence.

Derantuns of THE Sranisn Steamer * Leon.’ The Spaniah steamship “Loon,” (formerly the Mexi- can steamer “Guadaleupe,”) loft this port for Cadiz, Spain, yesterday morning. This vessol was built In this port for the Mexican government; and was afterwards purchased at the Havana by the Spanish government It was despatched to this port recently, for the purpose of repairs, on the completion of which she immedi- ately departed on her voyage across the ocean, Weun derstand that great improvements have beon made in her machinery—sufficient, at least, to place her in that respect upon a par with other recently constructed steam ships, Her tonnage is 760 tons; power of engine, 200 horses. ‘The departure of the vessel yestétday, of course, at- tracted the attention not only of the press, but of those who, by their commercial relations, are connected with the Spanish trade; and s goodly company of gentlemen were assembled on board at an early hour, with the in- tention of accompanying the vensel to Sandy Hook. She left the wharf of the Novelty Worsa at about 7 o'clock, passed the Battery at 8,and pursued her way smoothly toward the outer bay, quietly submitting t the superior epeed of the different local steamers, satis- fied with the advantage of security, the speed of the Leon, at the same time, being nearly or quite equal to that of the best packet steamers plying between Kurops and the United States. Having heretofore attended on the departure of ves. nels from this port, we have nooccasion to speak of the symmetrical beauty of those natural objects which ac- company the confurmation of the harbor ot New York; and, therefore, we puss directly to the fact, that wo arrived at Sandy Iiook at 11 o'clock, without expe- rienoeingof ought to mar our complete enjoyment of the excursion. At ten o’clook breakfast was served to the company of gentlemen on board; and. afterwards, sundry tonsts were drank, well tempered with loyalty, patriotism ani compliment, by both American and Spaniard. The oc- casion was one replete with interest, especially becwuse Ot the fact that never before had # Spanish steamer oc- cupied our port; and this visitation was but the precur- sor of mauy which may hereafter bind in harmonious unison the interests and sympathies of the two nations. The hospitality and gentlemunly bearing of the Com- mander, Don Manuel Sivila, may be equalled, but not excelled. Mr. Mathews, the engineer (un Irishman by birth, a citizen of the United States, but who is, never- theless, a speaking Spaniard), distioguished himse equally with the captain and other officers, by extend- ing his good offices, and imparting information to those temporarily on board. Having ‘accompanied the Leon to Sandy Hoot we. with others, went on board the New York pilot boat Charlotte Ann, and sailed for that most unexceptionable sand bank, Coney Island, from whenc we undertook to save our distance to the city; but in that agreeable anticipation, we were disappuinted; the Swiftsure steamer, on bosrd of which we were domiciled, getting aground, and nobody to blame.

Srrixa’s Cuurcn, Yesterpay.—A very large and fashionable assemblage was collected i.t this church yesterday, at morning service; it being the 37th annivertary—during which, tho eminent rector oi the church, Dr. Spring, has had the pastoral charge of the congregation. ‘Tie occasion demanded and elicites an elaborate discourse from tho respected pastor of the church, which was listened to with profound attention by the crowded congregation, and which took two hours in the delivery. In the course of the performances of the services, the Kev Dr. Spring delivered the dircourse,takins his text from the oth chapter and 6th verse of the first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians. In his opening the Rey. Dr. laidst down as an established princip): that no man was to-day what he was yesterday, nor wiil he be to-morrow what he is to-day. “Constant changes were taking place in man’s intellectual and moral facul- ties, and cverything around us was undergoing th change. Human influence was a little thing, but Ii the leaven referred to in the text, it diffused itself throughout human society. Influence had ils leading characteristics, Physical influeaco upon nu tural bodies was like tho influence of the sua upon vegetable creation, the moon upon the tides, and ma, netic poles upon the needle, There was a sympathet influence, producing emotions in the human. be: also a moral influence operating on the moral Good and evil angels existed ulso—the good going fort) to counteract the spirit of evil.

All influence originated from some source, und man was continually engaged in sending it back to where it came from Thus would be seen the great importance: of the influence which one man produced upon the mind of another, An additional importance was attached to it, both as regarded its etfecta, either for good or for bad. Aman that perfectly was good and with the best intentions to make a good impres sion, may often produce an evil influence; and on the other hand, a man who was really bad, and with bad intentions, still may do good. ‘The Rey. Doctor here, in illustration of bis argument, reviewed in detail the histories of some of the ancient and modern heroes, disciples of Christianity, showing the influence for good or for evil they exercised over their respective followers and subjects; and went on to say of our own Washington, thongh sleeping in his tent, that hiv influence was felt at the point of the bayonet.- ‘These few general observations led to the enquiry, what were the elements of influence’ The basis ta moral character, aa to who sucha man is? what he is? what is his moral character?
