The following will hereafter be the permanent terms of the Weekly Indiana State Sentinel : (7Payments to be made always in advance.

(Published three times a week during the session.) One copy g j.QO Three copies $10.00 Tlie War Gov. Wliitcomb The Journal. The editor of the Journal seems determined that if Gov. Whitcomb is not defeated it shall not be for the want of misrepresenting and garbling his speeches. About as cool and impudent an attempt of that kind as it has ever been our lot to witness occurred in the Daily Journal of yesterday. The editor first takes exception to the Governor's appealinir to those who surrounded him in his speech at the Market House, to take on arms in defence of , their country as his friends." Now we think that any one, whether high or low, rich or poor, who will Tolunteer on such an occasion, is a friend, and a far better friend of his country, and of her officers and institutions, than an editor who stays at home, protestin against an "aggressive' war against Mexico, and slandering those who are endeavoring to forward the service. Wc have not time, as our paper is just going to press, to expose all the falsehood and injustice of the anti-ajjjressive editor's article. We defer that to our next paper. We only stop to say, that his statement that the Governor's constitutional scruples referred to any proposed use of money offered by the Madison Bank is untrue. Nor did he eay that be would write to the War Department on that subject. He stated that he had written to that Department on other and different questions in relation to the volunteers, and that he soon expected an answer. The editor admita that the Governor exhorted the people as his "dear friends," to rally around the flag of their country. Any language of kindness addressed to the mass of the people is, in his estimation, demagog uet577i. This no doubt was the mortal offence to the editor. Why did he not also say that the Governor called upon all without distinction of party to come forward, and that in a contest of this kind all true patriots were equally near to his heart 1 The editor says there is a contrast between the course of Gov. Owsley of Kentucky and Gov. Whitcomb, that $30,000 were placed in one of the Louisville Banks by twenty-five patriotic citizens of that place subject to Gov. Owsley's control. This is very truethese twenty-five citizens were so "aggressive" in their character that they were willing to look to the United State or to their State for repayment. Where was there a similar offer on similar terms of the least amount of money placed under Governor Whitcomb's control for the use of the volunteers ! , Not a cent. Gov. Whitcomb said that he would go as far as any other Governor or Executive had ever done, and then he would go beyond them and contribute money from his own pocket and he offered 1000 to begin with, and stood ready to contribute in proportion to his means with any other persons in the State. This no doubt alarmed the editor. He was afraid that step would make Gov. Whitcomb popular. A number of the antiaggressive toadies commenced the business of systematic misrepresentation and endeavored to discourage some who had volunteered. Before the Journal article was printed, however, Gov. Whitcomb addressed the volunteers in the "Barracks" and restored their spirits. Yet the article is sent abroad to dampen the ardor of volunteers throughout the State rather than not indulge a malignant and envious desire to injure Gov. Whitcomb. We now say to all at a distance that there will be no want of money to clothe, subsist, and transport the troops. Come on brave hearts, and don't mind the "anti-aggressives." Abuse of Gov. Whitcomb. The Bloomington Herald of May 16th, while bestowing its laudations on Marshall in ostentatious and studied phrase, says that "Whitcomb is cold and elfish and asks to what benevolent object or public work can any of his friends point and say, to this Whitcomb trave a dollar whilst a citizen here I " If his friend went into an ennmeration of all his beetowments, it doubtless would be charged by the fault finding Herald to a disposition very different from that charity which " vaunteth not in itself.' The Herald itself admits that Gov. Whitcomb gave a contribution to the Methodist church there, at a time when be lived sixty miles distant. We now challenge the Herald to name a single " benevolent object or public work' to which Gov. Whitcomb's aid was solicited while he resided at Eloomington, and from which he withheld it. And we extend the challenge as to similar objects throughout the State. The ostensible editor of the Herald has not been long a resident of Bloomington, but he ought to inform himself well of the facts, before he does an act that reverses the injunction to do good for evil. Volunteers. Twelve Companies have already reported themselves to Gov. Whitcomb, and to-night's mail, (Tuesday) may bring in others. No doubt but twice or thrice as many will offer more than can be received. The Branches of the State Bank at Indianapolis and Madison have offered Ten Thousand Dollars each, to assist in forwarding these brave men, and as much as is needed will be drawn by the Executive. The Governor offered to give one thousand dollars of his private funds for that purpose ; but the generous offer of the banks, which will no doubt be nobly sustained by the State, will avoid the necessity of individual subscriptions. We have net time or room fur further comment. rroisTMEXTs, &,c Among the appointments in the army of the United States, in the regiment of mounted riflemen, or third regiment of dragoons, as authorized by the act of May 19, 1343, we find the following from our State: John S. Simonson to be Captain, W. W. Taylor, and Spear S. Tipton, to be 1st Lieutenants. Congress has passed a vote of thanks to Gen. Tay lor, and also requesting the President to present him a sword ia the name of the Republic. The President, with the consent of the Senate, has promoted Gen Tavlor to the rank of Brevet Mabr General. All right. Or-The New Albany Democrat says that Nathan Kimball, of Fredericksburg, Washington county, Ind., is forming a volunteer company at that place, for the purpose of spending the summer ia the city of Mex ico. We are glad to learn that the Post Office Committee of the Senate has announced that no material change is contemplated ia the Post Office Law. The present rates of postage will not, therefore be altered

Repeal of the English Corn Lain.' The Washington Union of the 2Gth inst, contains the following, which it says comes from one of the very highest sources in Great Britain, and may be relied upon : Litbbpool, May 2, 1346. M There hit been some very teasing delay with our corn-law repeal bill on a mere point of form ; but the delay baa furthered the cause in the House of Lords. They are now convinced they cannot effectually oppose thejrneasure, and the bill it eonsiJered safe in all its details. You may rrat assured of this aa much ao aa if it were passed. The only change possible is from graduil to immediate. On Monday the Commons start again with it, and a week will most likely suffice to pass its remaining stages in that bouse. M May 4. Our London accounts this morning represent the corn bill ss perfectly safe."

. In the same connection, we have the following from the London correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, under date of London, May 3. Sir Robert Peel has given a hearty proof of his sincere attachment to the principles of free-trade. In the course of conversation relative to the slow pro gress of the coercion bill, the premier availed himself of an opportunity to allude to the injurious surmise which had been thrown out relative to the delay of the corn bill being encouraged by the government. He declared that he was fully prepared to give whatever proof may be required, of the sincerity of his intentions, and thus emphatically and wit'j great energy of manner exclaimed : It is sufficient for me now to say, that the progreas of the discussion, the lapse of time, and intervening events, have more strongly increased the feeling with which I spoke when I proposed the permanent and final aettlement of the corn question (Cheers.) I will not deny that the debate, on the, sulject Pion. haw opdergone a change ; but it is ibis that restrictions which I at first believed to be impolitic, I now befieve to be unjuaL Consequently the sense of their injustice precludes any compromise on my part." (Cheers.) This is a most creditable, manly, and important declaration, and one which emote the monopolist band with terror. As soon as the words fell from the lips of the Prime Minister, great perturbation was evident on the pro-corn law benches ; rapid snatches of conversation took place; heads were indignantly 6haken, hands vehemently clenched, and lips were observed quivering with any thing but half suppressed blessings for the devoted Sir ltobert. The organs of the starvation party seem to know no bounds to their rage : they hurl anathema after anathema upon the head of the Minister, and declare that his sole object is to follow up this measure by the destruction of the Established Church. The ecclesiastical prints are most bitter in their denunciations, being full of extravagantly absurd and rabid attacks on the Cabinet. We now look forward, however, notwithstanding all that has or can be said, to the immediately proceeding with the corn bill. In the House of Lords I can perceive an evident improvement, a predisposition to lean towards public feeling on the momentous question, and an anxiety particularly praiseworthy, to have the measure before their lordships as early as possible. This disposition was evidently shown through a statement made by Lord Brougham the other night, who, when moving for some corn-law returns, declared that the delay gendtred in the Commons, had created both in thU country and among foreigners, the most profound astonishment. His lordship went on to remark : M If in inj quarter, of whatever kind of party politics, the desperate hope was entertained of frustrating the intentions of Parliament and of the country by unnecessary delays, or of postponing the arrival of that great, and, in hie conscience, be believed, moat salutary measure, into their lordships' houae, "till it should be too lata to discuss it (lor without ample discussion, God forbid it should be carried) this session, then the remedy was in their lordships own hands : for they had the power of anticipating the discussion, and of coming to a deliberate and well considered opinion.' This passage will bear maturely weighing : Lord Brougham being, as is well known, in the confidence of the Duke of Wellington and the Lord Chancellor. In a subsequent paragraph be stated that the House would give " a favorable opinion upon the general principle of that great and important commercial change." The significant bearings of his lordship's speech were, if I may so say, corroborated by the solemn silence with which they were received oy their lordships. This statement of his lordship cannot therefore be too seriously pondered over by American merchants, who will not be far wrong if they deduce from it the success of the corn bill. The other news of Parliament may be told in a sentence. The Lord Chancellor has brought in a bill to relieve Roman Catholics, Jews, Dissenters, &.C., from penalties for not doing, and for doing, certain things. In other words, these parties are to be exempt from a host of liabilities and punishments, based upon statutps passed during the intolerant reigns. By this bill, thirty Acts of Parliament imposing penalties on religious grounds, will be repealed. Mr. Fielden, in the Commons, tried to pass the second reading of the Factory Bill, limiting the hours of work of children between thirteen and eighteen, and females above eighteen, to ten hours a day, exclusive of time for meals, from August 1847. The motion was opposed by ministers, and the debate adjourned. It was on this bill, in the last session of Parliiment, that Sir Robert Peel's ministry, on a division, first round themselves in a minority. Mr. Fielden has risen from having been a common operative, to Iiis present position as a manufacturer, employing from L',000 to 3,000 hands. "Will the editors of the Sentinel please nay wheth er a reduction of our tariff will, cr will not, best accord with British interests ! When was a public do cument, emanating from a Whig, published by order of Parliament 1 Did not this occur in the case of Mr. Walker's Report 1"-State Journal. We freely answer our neighbor by saying, that in our opinion the removal of restrictions upon trade the world over would be for the benefit of the world, for the benefit of the masses of producers and consumers and unprofitable to few, if any, except those who rely for prosperity upon unjust and partial laws. We have no doubt therefore that a reduction of our tariff will benefit both England and the United States ; and so will the repeal of the Corn laws. We feel ashamed that our neighbor and his party are eo far behind the anti-protectionists of England in this matter. We ought to be ahead of all other nations in every measure of freedom, instead of opposing them as the Whigs of this country do from motives of selfishness. It is an honor to both the British Parliament and our Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Walker, that the former published his annual report. And the fact is to us no more evidence of the incorrectness of Mr. Walker's arguments, than would be a similar publication of the Declaration of Independence, evidence against the truth of the glorious principles therein proclaimed. The Journal will see by the extracts we publish to day, that Parliament is slowly "progressing" towards a recognition of those truths. OCT" The " Sentinel" is in error when it says that it has greater circulation that any other paper in the city, as a comparison of the "Sentinel and " Jour nal books will 6how. Ind. Journal. This is a very positive assertion, and one which we do not see how the editor could make, unless he has bad access to our books directly or indirectly. It is an assertion that we should not like to make about his books, and consequently we could not positively state that our subscription is the largest. Yet we unquestionably believe it is. At all events, it was, some few months since; and while our list has been rapidly extending, we doubt if the Journal's has more than kept even pace. At all events, if the Journal is so 14 cocksure " about the books, we propose a fairer test than his examination. Let it be done by mutual referees. What say you, John 1 The Mexican Declaration of War. raredes proclamation, announcing hostilities against this country, and his Laving given orders to the Gcneral-in-Chief of the division on the Northern frontier to make war on the American army, is dated " National Pl ace of Mexico, April 23d." This was nearly three weeks before President Polk announced that war exis ted, which fact some honorable Senators so strenu ously denied, and could not reconcile it to their con ' sciences to admit by any vote of theirs.

Illctinrdvllle Co. Democratic Conven--lion. A large and respectable meeting of the Democrats of Richardville county met, in pursuance of previous notice, at the court house, in Kokomo, on the 5th day of May, 194G, for the purpose of nominating suitable persons to represent this district in the State Legislature, and to nominate suitable persons for county officers, to be supported at the August election. Theofh ilus JJryant was called to the Chair, and Esq. Lascree and Noah IIakm.v were chosen Vice Presidents and Adam Clarke Secretary. On motion, Jas. Thompson was called on to make some preliminary remarks explanatory of the objects cf the meeting. On motion of James Thompson, A committee, consisting of Jas. Thompson, Jas. Johnson, and John Chitwood, was appointed to prepare business fir the meeting. On motion, The convention then adjourned until 4 o'clock P. M. The Convention met in pursuance to adjournment, and the following preamble and resolutious were reported : Whereas the ensuing August election is one of vast importance to the People of Indiana, the eye of the whole Union is upon us, and waiting to see the re

sult, and learn whether that invincible spirit of De mocracy, which shone so brightly and so nobly triumphed in '44, had been extinguished, or whether it is still treasured up in the bosom of the Democracy, eager to break forth in '4G, and again triumph in the re-election of the best Governor Indiana ever bad at the head of her affairs : and whereas this county has been attached to the county of Cass for Representative and Senatorial purposes, we feel it to be our duty to extend the hand of fellowship to the Democracy of Cass, and unite with them in the nomination and elec tion of suitable persons to represent this district in the next Legislature ; and whereas eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, we deem it our bounden duty to aid, in every possible way that is honorable, in re electing our present Democratic Governor, and the election of Lt. Governor, Senator and Representatives to our State Legislature, and especially to reform our tounty omccrs by clearing the kitchen, or rather sweeping the Augean stable, of every one of them that the strong arm of power can now reach ; for if ever a people had a right to complain of the burthens and misdoings of those who for a short time have ex ercised a little brief authority over them, it is the people of Richardville county. Therefore, Resolved, That we are in favor of Conventions, for by this means the institutions of our country have been perpetuated, and the federal party repeatedly driven from power. Resolved, That a central committee of seven persons be appointed by this meeting, which shall act as a committee of correspondence and of vigilance, and shall have power to fill all vacancies which may occur in that body, and hold office until their successors are chosen. Resolved, That a committee of three Bhall be appointed, by this meeting, in each township in the county, whose duty it shall be to act as a committee of vigilance and correspondsnce, and do all things necessary to advance the republican cause in such township. Resolved, Tkat six delegates be appointed by this meeting to meet a suitable number of delegates appointed by the democrats of Cass and Pulaski counties, on the G h of June next, at the town of Logansport, to put in nomination suitable persons to represent the Districts in the State Legislature. Resolved, That as this county and the county of Cass now form one Representative district, and are entitled the present year to two members, we believe that Richardville county is entitled to one member; and we do hereby instruct our delegates, appointed to said convention, to use all honorable exertions to procure the nomination of one of the citizens of this county as a candidate for said Representative. Resolved, That we cordially approve the course pursued by our Chief Magistrate, James K. Polk, in relation to Oregon. Resolced, That while we heartily approve the course pursued by the Democratic Senators who voted against the passage of the preamble and resolution offered by Mr. Crittenden in the Senate of the United States, we as heartily despise the course of pseudo Democratic Senators who faltered in their duty, and were willing to yield up some cf our best soil, together with our best bays and harbors on the northern coast of Oregon, to satisfy the rapacity of a Power which never legally owned a foot of land west of the Rocky Mountains. After the adoption of the foregoing resolutions, the convention proceeded to the adjption of a Democratic ticket for the ensuing election, which resulted as follows: Senator, Cyrcs Tiber ; Representative for Richardville co., Theophilus Bryant; Sheriff, John Harrison; Commissioners, Jas. Morrow and Geo. Taylor; Probate Judge, Esq. Lascree; Audi tor, Apam Clarke; Assessor, öamcel Ferbu; Coroner, Andrew Baringrove. The following persons were appointed delegates to the convention at Logansport: James Thompson, James H. Johnson, Joseph Skim, Wm. Rodman, John Knight, and Joseph L. McCrary. Central Committee Adam Clark, Jas. Thompson. Jas. L. Barritt, John M. Harlan, Wm. S. Rodman, Jas. Johnson, and J. P. Miller. The following township committees were appointed : MonroeWm. W. Allen, John Chitwood, and George Gailor. Green Francis Cash, P. Plummer, and Jacob Good. After which the convention adjourned sine die. ADAM CLARKE, Sec'y. Kentucky nil lteatfy. The Kentucky papers contain the following annunciation by the Governor, that the ranks of the required Volunteers were already full. We understand that great disappointment exists in many places on the part of those desiring to volunteer, who were a little too late to be in time for preference. Kentucky has done nobly. EXECUTIVE OFFICE, ) Frankfort, May 26, '46.J The Governor and Commander-in-Chief, to the Militia of Kentucky : I have, to-day, to announce to the Militia of Kentucky, that a sufficient number of Volunteer Companies have been reported to me and accepted, to fill the late requisition of the War Department. To those Volunteers whose services have been offered as well those which were too late for acceptance as those which have been accepted I tender the thanks of the country. They have nobly sustained the high character of the Slate for zeal and patriotism more than sufficient for any emergency. Wm. OWSLY. Departure of Kentucky Troops. The Louisville Courier gives notice of the departure of the steamer Diana at 9 o'clock Sunday evening, last week, with the following companies, comprising the right whig of the Louisville Legion : v Washington Blues, Capt. Ball. 1st German National Guards, Capt. Kern. Louisville Artillery, Capt. Howe. Jefferson Riflemen, Capt. Cope. , ' Montgomery Guards, Capt. Fuller. On her departure salutes were fired by the Alex. Scott, and by the citizens of New Albany, which were ( promptly returned by the Diana. lne left wing of the Louisville Legion, consisting of the following companies, left for New Orleans on the Alex. Scott on Monday week: Louisville Guards, Capt. Harper. Highland Riflemen, Capt. Hilton. Kentucky Riflemen, Capt. Bullen. 2d German National Guards, Cpt. Schroeder. The Courier remarks that the Legion numbers between 700 and 8!X) as brave, true, and honest men as ever faced an enemy. In addition to the above, two companies of cavalry, numbering upwards of 200 men, will be ready to take their departure by the last of the week Santa Anna and his Secretary. El Tiempo of the 27th ultimo, states that Senor Don F. Lerdo, the Secretary of Gen. Almonte, had been arrested at Vera Cruz and confined in the Castle of San Juan de Uloa, in consequence of papers having been found in his possession which reveal the true cause of his return from the Havana compromising him to that degree that he is to be forthwith tried criminally. He was, on the 14th of April, forwarded to the city of Mexico, strictly guarded. He came from the Havana, doubt4 less on a mission from Santa Anna and Almonte.

JLatest from THE SEAT OF WAR! Correspondence of the Picayune. La Bcrita, (Mexico,) May 17, '40. To tlie Editors of the Picayune: Iiere we are within the Vice-Royalty of Mexico, at a beautiful little village on the right bank of the Rio Bravo, eight miles from the mouth. Old Zack God bles him ! has through us on this day planted his foot on this 6ide of the river. You may be assured it will not be withdrawn until all tlie indignities offered our beloved country are amply atoned for. This detachment, consisting of five companies of the first infantry, and four companies of volunteers, with one piece of artillery, is under command of Lieut. Col. Wilson, of the regular army. The expedition up this river was originally planned by the General and Commodore to be a combined movement of the two services. Some delays arising from rouh weather, the military part cf the expedition started alone this morning, and after marching sf me ten miles found themselves at this village which is situated on the first high and dry land above the mouth of the river; a beautiful ridge with a fine bluff escarpment. There being an engineer along, it is thought that some fortifications will be planned, and that we shall be initiated into the art and mystery of throwing dirt out of a ditch. The gallant little army which we have to emulate, dug ditches and threw up entrenchments for a whole month. The river is very serpentine in its course, and about ten feet in depth. Yours, A. B. Point Isabel, Texas, May 18, 1346. Gentlemen: Yesterday Lt. Col. Wilson, 1st U. S. Infantry, with four companies of that regiment, Col. Desha's Mobile volunteers and two companies of the Washington Regiment of Louisiana volunteers, amounting to 400 men, crossed the Rio Grande at its mouth and took up their line of march on its west or right bank for the small town of La Burita, eight miles above ; supported by the U. S. Steamer, Neva, Capt. Frederick, on board of which was a small detachment with a field piece. The command had arrived the day previous at the river, inarching from Brazos de Santiago on the Sea Beach, expecting to be joined by a detachment of sailors and marines from tlie squadron (lying a few miles off the entrance) to assist in crossing and to co-operate in their movements, but were disappointed until the Neva entered the river and relieved them from their difficulties, she having been despatched with supplies, by that indefatigable officer of the Quartermaster's Department, Major C. Thomas, who was present with Assistant Quarter-master, Capt. M. S. Miller, at the crossing. To day an express was received from Col. W., stating his safe and unopposed entrance into La Burita, where he has taken up position. Information was received from Gen. Taylor last evening, that he intended crossing over to Matamoras early to day. Early in the morning a few cannon were beard. I suppose he has taken the place without opposition, as the remains of the Mexican army, 2000 men, were two days since in active preparation for retreat to San Fernando, 30 leagues south the balance, not killed, drowned, or prisoners, having scattered in utter confusion to their homes. Never was an army eo panic stricken. In the retreat from the battle field of the 9th, Gens. Arista, and Ampudia led the van on foot through the chapporal, stripping off their clothes as they ran, and when they arrived at the river had nothing on but their shirts, streaming in the wind they plunged in and swam across; many of their deluded followers sinking into that "sepulchre" that Mejia had promised to the degenerate sons of Washington." Better far is the situation of the gallant Gen. D. Diaz de La Vega, now a prisoner in your city, who stood manfully at his post, doing his duty until captured, than fly like a coward. The regiment of Louisiana Volunteers under Col.

Walton are now on board transports, to be landed to morrow morning on Brazos Island, thence take up their line of march, viz : Sea Beach, for mouth of the Rio Grande. The balance of Gen. Smith's command leave immediately after, same destination, to cross the river and march up to Matamoras. Yours, X. P. S. The Mexicans lost 100 drowned on their re treat crossing the Rio Grande ; most of the wounded, who were delivered up to them by General Taylor, heve since died by neglect, and want of hospital means and supplies. FobtPolx," May 13, 1346 Gentlemen : Last evening the steamship Alabama arrived off the bar, and this morning General Smith, his staff, and the remainder of his brave band from your ever gallant state, landed, and are now encamping with their comrades on the plain outside; but if we are to judge from the custom of war in like cases " they will scarce have time to get " comfortably fixed " before they will be called upon to " pull up stakes" and take up march." However, I trust the patriotic spirit which prompted their coming has prepared them for the hardships and privations of the campaign. These may appear to be great by those who are novices, as no doubt most are: but with the exception perhaps of shelter, (and I see your boys ' brought good ne-7 tents on with them, which was very fortunate,) I think there can be no great cause of complaint. On the whole, with our numbers, means, and materiel, I think the campaign is destined to be a sliort one, and that most of the blood which will be spilled during it, has been already, and I think I can safely say that the poetry of sodgering " has vanished already with all who have 'set foot' in Texas. Justice alone prompts me to say that the 41 materiel" of the reinforcements which have reached us is such as to inspire no less confidence than respect, and the greatest of both, General Desha's command has taken position with the 1st Infantry at Burita's Ferry, some 8 or 10 miles from this place. It is the lowest ferry on the river, and the place where most of Arista's army crossed previous to the battle of the 8th inst. Word reached us from above yesterday that the General with the army had commenced his demonstration upon Matamoras, and was to cross the river at some point above to operate in the rear, whilst the garrison of Fort Brown would attack in the front. 'Twas said most all the Mexican troops had left Matamoras, but 2,000 remaining. We should not be surprised at any moment at hearing a cannonade. Perhaps there will be a surrender without a shot being fired such a result would not be surprising from what has been learned. I am pleased to see the notice wiucn you lane oi the 14 gallant Walker." Many of his daring adventures remain unknown, or at least untold. The cutest" one came off during the second battle, when, having his horse shot under him, he fell and feigned all the agonies of a mortal wound, and when his adversary came upon him to despatch him with a lance, and strip him, Walker used his revolver with effect, jumped on the fellow's horse, and "went ahead." Your suggestion to your liberal citizens, respecting furnishing0Valker with a horse, &,c, to replace the one (by the by, he has lost quite a number lately) lost in his adventure to communicate with the fort, is a very creditable one; but, in justice to us, I beg you will make it known, that no sooner had Walker returned and bis loss was known, than a subscription was opened by the officers, and an order to purchase a horse and equipments sent to your city to be presented to him. Again, a petition has been ejaculated and signed by the. officers, headed by General Taylor, praying the President to commission him. Again yours in great haste. S. Louisiana Volunteers Rev. Mr. Mullox. A New Orleans paper has the following: A fine body of men, enrolled under ihe title of the " Montgomery Guards," and who are pricipally natives of the Emerald Isle, were, on Friday night, ad dressed by the Rev. Mr. Mullon, in the Temperance Hall, Tchoupitoulas street; on occasion of their speedy departure for the scene of hostilities, on the Rio Grande. The Rev. gentleman spoke in a strain of fervid patriotism, expatiating warmly on tlie duties incumbent on the citizen soldier at a crisis like the present. He adverted to the calumny which had been circulated regarding his sentiments on this war. He said he had, in early youth, stood firmly to his gun, on the oeean, in withstanding the enemies of his country. He exhorted the 44 Montgomery Guards" the gallant men before bim to be unanimous in their3entiments, to be one in action since they had placed themselves in the van, as it were, of their country's military array, and the God of Battles would crown them with Victory ! The Rev. gentleman's manner was highly impassioned.

Iale from Yucatan. By late arrivals at New Orleans, we have news from Yucatan to the 8th inst. El Amigo del rueblo of tlie 5th publishes the Governor's message at the opening of Congress. We see it stated that the Assamblia would not admit the Mexican Commissioner, as they were determined to remain entirely separated from that Republic. The editors of El Amigo del Pueblo suggests that the Teninsula of Yucatan will, before long, adopt important measures, that will determine the course

it must follow hereafter, and how it is to be governed ; which, at all event, it believes must be much better than during the time it waa under the Mexican Gov ernment. Gov. Earbachano's address to the Assembly was generally approved ; it breathes a liberal and a patri otic spirit. From private letters, dated 13th inst.. we learn that Congress was still in session at Merida, and would adjourn about the first of June, previous to which they would no doubt confirm the declaration made some time since, of the intention of the State of Yu catan to separate from the Government of Mexico. A revolution broke out in the Denartment of Tobasco about the 1st inst., headed by a man named w awa m . cruno. ine result was not known at Campeachy when the Ventura sailed. The news of the blockade tf the mouth of the Rio Grande had been received at Campeachy, but they nau not neara oi the actual commencement of hostili ties. The ucatecoe are said to be opposed to rendering any aid to Mexico, in case of a war with the United States. Great respect is paid to American citizens and their property. Several vessels that recently arrived from the United States, without having furnished themselves with triple invoices of their cargoes, which the laws of Yucatan require, were not seized the proper authorities immediately gave them permission to discharge their cargoes. OyTbe Louisville Democrat of May 20, says We had a conversation, yesterday, with a gentleman who was an officer of the Texan navv. and who left Point Isabel on the 15th. He confirms nearly all the statements respecting the battle on the 8th and 9th. The muster-rolls of the Mexicans were found amongst other documents ; from which it appeared that the Mexican army consisted of seven thousand three hundied and fifty-three fighting men; perhaps running men would be better. This officer spent the nijht with General Vega at Point Isabel. Vejra fre quently expressed his astonishment at the reckless bravery of our soldiers, particularly in the charge on the artillery. He spoke franklv of the state of thinjjs said that Paredes intended coming to Matamoras with fifieen thousand men, but he could not guess the effect which the news of the " repulse," as he called it, would have. jUAjor Ringgold. IM ever was a rrun nred over the grave of a better soldier. He commanded a troop of flying artillery, which for discipline and courage, is not excelled by any in the world. Indeed, we doubt if there is such another disciplined troop in any ser vice. We have seen them, under the command of their gallant and ill-fated commander, perform feats of rapid and s.ddicrly minaeuvering that, until then, we had thought utterly impossible. The troop is composed of p. eked men, (mostly Irishmen.) and the horses are all prime, aud as well trained as their riders. Major Ringgold had submitted himself, in his youth, to a severe and arduous course of study and discipline. He visited all the military schools of any note in Europe. He studied at the Politechnique, at Woolwich, and other similar military institutions, after graduating at West Point, and thus made himself complete master of the most approved systems of tactics practised in Europe. He had infused his own spirit into the men under his command, who loved him as a father; and so well were they disciplined, that they moved like a solid wedge, and with tlie rapidity of a falcon sweeping on his prey. Wherever they were brought to bear on the Mexican force, their pieces must have done fearful execution. We hope Congress will take proper steps to do honor to the memory of Major Ringgold, as well as to that of the other brave fellows who have died nobly in the cause of their country.
