WAH! lTAU! All persons in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, towards effecting an early and honorable peace, are requested to attend an adjourned meeting, at the Eastern .Market House, on Saturday next, Oct. 30th. Come every one. Speeches will be made, and we hope to see the Hoosier spirit fairly manifested. Awti'l! Our little friend at Columbu, who could nl nee any body or any thing but crusty landlords when lie was here at the railroad celebration, has got into an awful way about our poor selves. The way lie punishes us is some : he has chewed dictionary loaves and thrown thern at us ! We may recover ! But our neighbor, of the Journal; why, he must be running yet, crying "hot vater," according to the account i W hat lng tail our cat has got ! Tailoring. We would recommend our friends in want of well cut and well made garments, to the card of Know-land & Smith. We can vouch fr their kill by experience; and when it is known that Mr. K. is the author of a system of cutting gjrments, and which i.tvw us;dalnist exclusively throughout the west, n I better recommendation seems to ba wanted. 'They are, both superior workmen and genuine clever fellows; and among their customers will be found the handoni!st," and always the "best dressed" men about town. Tliis is no joke!

His Excellency assures your majesty of his desire to cultivate the most amicable and literal relations between the two governments. Manifesting this desire, the President in expressing the sentiments of the power of which he has the honor to b ihe chief executive, and any omission on m;' part in my endeavors to promote this amicable disposition, would be no less contrary to my own sentiment than it would be traitorous to my country. Appreciating thee intentions, your majesty will permit me to express my satisfaction at knowing that the mutual friendship and respect which has for such a length of time happily existed between the two governments, has not tieen diminished by any disagreeable events that have recently occurred. 1 am aware that my charge has commenced at an unfavorable jeriod. .My immediate predecessor involved liimäelf in affairs which were both unpleasant for h uns? If and unfortunate for both governments. Being resolved in my relations with your majesty's government, to observe a course both honorable and beneficial to both countries, I have indulged the hope lhat I ma'y fulfil the duties of my mission in a manner entirely satisfactory to my own government, nnd at the same time agreeably to that of your own Majesty. Permit me, in conclusion, to express my best wishOS for the health and happiness of your Majesty and the imperial family. The Emperor's Eeplt. The Emperor replied to this speech in Englih, as follows: I receive with pleasure the credentials which you present me in the name of my good friend, the President of the United Slates. They show that the same friendship and good understating subsists between my government and that of your country, and of which I believe you to be a true interpreter, who will remove the weighty difficulties in which your immediate predecessor involved himself. After this the French ambassador was presented,and when his audience was concluded, Mr. Tod pre sented the secretary of the American legation, and several officers of the United Slates navy jr.

He carries to Mr. Trist an order of recall. The President recalls him. because there is nothing farther for him to do.

From the $eu) Orleim Delta, of th 6th intt. The Mexican New. The accounts brought by the Alabama from the seal of war, are exceedingly meagre and unsatisfactory, arid coming exclusively from Mexican sources, it is ditiicult to say what reliance ought to be placed upon them. One fact, however, is fully established.. Oen. Scott has possession of the city of Mexico. This is a great point gained in the war j for the command of that city has ever been accompanied or followed by that of the rest of the country. The Aztec Monarchy, from the capital, held in subjection the numerous and warlike nations by which it was surrounded; the conquest of the city by Cortez, led to the speedy submission of all the tributary power; and while it was held by the Spaniards, all the efforts of the Mexican revolutionists were vain Hidolgo, Morelos, Valencia nnd others, displayed prodigies of valor, and led thousands of enthusiastic and devo'ed followers to battle and to death, to no purpose, while the Viceroy maintained the city and it was only after Iturbide, by a bold and treacherous stroke, obtained possession of this important point, that the colonial power was overthrown. And since the revolution, the influence of the city has been equally felt; it was that influence which made federalism an impossibility, and centralism a necessity of Mexican politics; which, under all the ch mges of parties in that distracted country, has given to the misters of th capital the control of the Republic. This great central point is now in our power. It has been won at the cost of much treasure and hundred of valuable lives, and it must be maintained at all hazards, until this war is finally terminated in an honorable peace, or until the means of rtsistance on Ihe part of the enemy are utterly destroyed. By holding the city, we deprive the enemy or the means or tinning me .people or iUejuco we take away the centre of attraction and effectually dissolve the Mexican confederacy. The people, de prived of a common rallying point the States, of a common head, will waste their strength in desultory efforts, or seek their advantage by independent negotiation. Such at least, seems to. us one of the proba ble consequences of this great acquisition. Of the particulars of the battle which took place between the 8ih and 13vh of Sep: ember, the true ac count of the repulse met with by the brigade sent into the city to protect the properly of the citizens on the 14th, and the details of the nature and extent of the bombardment on the three subsequent days, we expect to receive by the next steamer probably to-d.ty. In the menntime there is not the slightest confirmation of the death of Gens. Worth, Pillow and Smith, and we still entertain the hope that the reports are false. But the loss on our part must have been creat and many f the brave and generous have fallen in the discharge of the highest duty of the citizen, whose departure will be mourned by a grateful country and devoted friends. If the accounts which we publish this morning can be relied on if Ilea has entered Puebla with GODO men, and shut up our garrison in the entrenched camp of Frontera if Herrera has still 14,000 men under his command and if Taredcs is raising a force in Jalisco, and the heights of Cerro Gordo are fortified by the guerillas of Vera Cruz, the instant want of a largely increased force, if we design even to maintain our present position, trittst be apparent, nnd we have every confidence that such a foree will be immediately supplied. We cannot leave the heroes of such a war to suffer, unaided, in the midst of the foe. The Last Mexican News. As late as Sept 21th, General Worth was acting as Governor of the city of Mexico. This is stated in letters of that date from the Mexican capital, received by commercial houses in Tampico. The outbreak of the Leperos (rabble) is represented to have taken place about the löth, and Santa Anna is said to have relumed to the city from Gaudaloupe immediately after, with lU.OUO men and 23 pieces of cannon. From ihe fact that Gen. Worth was exercising the functions of Governor in the capital on the 24th, it is evident that the story of Santa Anna's re-entering it is all humbug. At any rate, his sla there must have been vory short. We are inclined' to t-hink that there was' some disturbance in the city soon afier its capture,' and it is possible there may have been a collision between tie Let'em and a detach ment" of our troops. But we undertake to say that; whatever eents may have oc curred, they were of s'flall importance compared with the Mexican representations of them, and did not at all involve the safety of the American army,' or its supremacy over the Mexican capital. One of the rumors in La Patria," the prand catch-all for such things, represents Santa Anna as having moved toward Pueula with 30OO horse. How tliis tallies with the statement that he had re-oi-cupied the city of Mexico with 10,1)00 men, Lu Patria can perha'ps explain. As1 to Puebla, there is rather more chance of the verity of the report, because it is unfavorable Id the Mexicans. It represents the American garrison to have been compelled to bombard the town from the adjacent heights which they occupied. A former report represented the garrison to have been captured. A letter from Jalapa of löth September, state's that Major Lally had concluded to remain there until Gen. Lane's division should come up. Thi is good news, as it insures the safety of Major Lally's command, which woufd be tco much hazarded by advancing without reinforcements. - We consider it entirely certain that none of the American Generals have been killed, and highly probable that none of them have been wounded The Picayune says', Mexican accounts make the American loss in the recent engagements exceed one thousand in killed and wounded, while more authentic accounts from English Sources set it down at" four hundred and seventy or entity, all told. The if umher of American officer kilfed i said to be 27 and the number wounded 43.'. The only individual mentioned among the killed is Capt. Albemarle Cady, of the Gtii infantry,' ah accomplished offioer, a graduate of West Point, and native of Ne.1 Hampshire.iV.- Y.

Deserters from the Akmt. Rome time since, a statement came (rom one of the Nilice papers, that .the deserters from our army in Mexico, were mainly j among the adopted citizens of our country ; and charif- , ing that the Irish were most liable to desert. We j have lately seen a correct statement of the entire i i e j f . i ! iiumucr oi ueseners irom our ranics, as given in lue: Iational Police Lrazelte, from which it appears that the whole number of deserters, at the present time, is vat hundred and nintttf. Of this number, 130 were born in this country, 'SI in Ireland, nnd Id in GermaDV. " It is Mirely disgraceful to our countrymen, even if the number were not one tehlli ofthat which is owners, is out one-seventn or the whole number j This is a fact highly creditable to that portion of our i adopted citizens ; and reflects the more honor njton them, when it is remembered th it they form a very large proportion of the whole army. The natives of Germany, though constituting a smaller portion of th army, seem to stand by the country of their choice, with equal firmness; and are willing rather to die from the shots of the enemy, than to desert the flag which protects t heir rights as men, and promises freedom to the world. Indeed, there are no facts of importance within our recollection which do not point to our adopted citizens, as the steadfast defenders of our republican institutions. The example of one such man as Shields, if we had never heard of Montgomery-, would go farther to fix ouf confidence in the integrity of Irishmen, than all the labored arguments which have ever been written, to prove the danger likely to result to our institutions from the increased and largely increasing numbers of natives of other countries, who are coining among us to find a home. Pittsburgh Post. Description of Chapclt'lpec'. Chapul tepee having been captured by the Americans, after the most desperate resistance ever made by a Mexican army, the following account of that place cannot fail to prove interes:ing : Chapultepec is the Aztec for "Grasshopper's Hill. It is a porphyritic rock, rising near the former margin of the lake that surrounded the city of Mexico, and is one of the places designated by the Aztecs where they tarried on their emigration from the north, in search of a final resting place. Their ofacles bad foretold that sucli resting place would be denoted by their seeing an eagle devouring a serpent on a rock, and at Chapultepec this prediction was verified. From it they beheld the eagle on one of the rocks in the lake, devouring a serpent. The event was at once symbolized in their records, and subsequently represented on the flag and the coin of the nation. The hill is surrounded by a belt of noble cypress Wees, oue of which, known as Montezuma's cypress, from having been planted before or during the reign of that prince, measures fifty-one fed in circumference. Chapltepec was the favorite country residence of Montezuma and his courtiers. I contains remains of gardens, groves, tanks, and grottoes, which bear evidence of its past mi gnificence. Here Montezuma retired from the heat and dust of the city, to enjoy all the luxuries that wealth and power could procure, or art devise. If was selected by the Spanish Viceroy as the most beautiful place in the valley of Mexico for a royal residence, and the modern palace (lately a military school) was built by the Viceroy Galvez. From this palace one has a charming view of the whole valley, the capita, the volcanic mountains which rise in the distance like a great wall surrounding the enchanting picture. In Anglo-Saxon hands this valley may be made as impregnable as Gibralter. Bombs or cannon planted on the hill of Chapultepec command the city, the principal roads and the aqueduct. Hence the attack and capture of that point by (Jen. Scott before making any demonstration upon the city. Once on the hill, th taking of the city could be effected without serious loss of life. New Plan. The Washington Union publishes a communication from "A Whig," embracing the fol lowing plan for carrying on the war with Mexico: Seventy-five or one hundred thousand troops can occupy the v hole of Mexico; every Slate to be occupied by a sufficient force, whose commanding officer should be instructed to disarm the Mexicans in the particular State or district of country assigned to him ; and by constant expeditions from his headquarters, to keep up such a surveillance as will prevent Ihe col lection of troops of the enemy in Ins district, and en able hitn to draw the greatest amount of forage, subsistence and pay from the country. If such an occupation of the enemy's territory is entire, 'we must get at their resources ; if it is partial we may not. Such a mode of carrying on the war must be less expensive than the present mode. Bloodshed must soon cease, and success is certain; for if Mexico persists in her present reckless course, two disbandments of our troops in her midst must Americanize her territory, and the Mexican race must soon be absorbed by the superior one. These effects will be justly chargeable upon her rulers. I claim for this plan that it is humane, economical and certain to succeed. Law against Seduction. The Pennsylvania law for the punishment of seduction makes it necessary for the offence to be committed under the following circumstances: 1. There must be an actual seduction of the female bv the male 2. The female must be under the age of twenty-one years.3. Siie must be of good reputation. 4. The e'ediiction must have been accomplished by means or a promise of marriage; and, 5. Such promise of marriage must be proved bj other witnesses" than the female so seduced. This law appears to be well guarded', but we imagine it will rarely lake effect. Lafatette anp Indianapolis Railhead Compan At a meeting of the Directors of this company, at Prarieville, oil Tuesday last, the Hon. Albert S. White was elected President, and Win. r.

- - - . The Inti itie of Tu rope. It has ever been a wise precaution on the part of "ur government to avoid mingling in the iisjrigues of JLurnpe; and while doing so, it has very properly j-et the republican seal against foreign intrigues upon this Continent. Towards our republic, there is no ques- . .i e .i. . . i i l i . uou, me powers ui' u:e oiu oriu emenain , a sleepless hostility, and for a sufficient reason the republic of America has afflicted the thrones of Europe with instability. The breadth of ocean has much aided us to avoid their insolent intermrdling. but we should ever be watchful that they do not plant among the republics of the south a nest frr intrigue in our closer neighborhood. Already Great Britain has a colony in the south portion of this continent, on the Gulf of Mexico, where she occupies tome hundreds of miles of coast. B'lize, the principal town belonging to this colony, is peopled by English and Mulattoc-, under the administration of an English Obvernor. This strip along the Bay of Honduras gives them a control over the inhabitants of the interior, which we have reason to believe has already been exercised in hostility to the United 8tttes. Tuis starving bully, Great Britain, i forever medling in the nffiirs of other nations, and appears to consider it an especial duty to hold a check rein on Jonathan. Republicanism cannot show its front in Europt, that this government is not prompt to lend aid or c nincil to strangle it ; when, therefore, it is such a hydra, forever threatening at home, its existence here, most asuredly, is viewed witli a hatred and opposition whiCli et er awaits to destroy, if the opportunity should offer; and time and means will be freely expended to compass the ob ject. Lngland is not alone in this desire. The hoary ty rant of France, Louis' Philippe, looks with dread up on the growing strength of our republic, and the power exercised by its institutions over his own people. In vain he strangles the Ireed m of hie press at home: and intrigues abroad; republican brine iules shine through the eyes of his subjects, are muttered in their songs, and freely discussed in their clubs; ahd not withstanding Ihe towers of his new fortification frown upon Paris with a seeming power to destroy the 'ob ject of his dread, yet, in the teeming mass below, the spirit of freedom Walks boldly abroad, disseminating among his subjects that spirit of libtrty which no lyrany will ever quench in r renchmen.. Louis i hilijipe's journal says ; ''He has interests on this continent to protect, princip!es to defend, a precious interest to maintain." By which he means that the present war with Mexico has ba tiled the intrigues of his government on the south of this continent, and the establishment of monarchy has beert retarded, in vain these desperate gamesters for thrones seek to strength en their position by plotting against the United States; this great country has within herself resources w hich defy Europe nay,' she has the m'eans to force it into respect for its wiicer', if not its institutions. A hos tile attitude against us, b these allied foes, may, in the end, too, hrethe magazine w republicanism slumbering in their own dominions.--.S7. Jouis ReteiUe. Ocr Consul at Havana. It will be remember ed that when the news of Paredes arrived here, several presses, and ourselves m the n umher censured Mr. Campbell, our consul at Havana, for not havui" sent a person on the steamer with Pm redes, that the authorities at Vera Cruz might be informed of Iiis ar. rival at the earliest period. Wc have received from Havana the following letter, defending Mr. Campbell, and in justice to him publish it. Atrit Orleans Picayune, dd instant. HavaVa, Sept. 23, 1347. Editors of the Picayune I perceive that there has been some excitement in New Orfeans in relation to the landing of Paredes in Vera Cruz, and a disposi tion to attach censure to the American consul for not having taken such steps as would have acquainted Gov. Wilson with the fact of his (Paredes) beinr on board the British steamer. It is generally bejieved in this city that the consul had taken the neceesary steps f that he wrote to Gov. Wilson, and also to the collector of Vera Cruz; and fearing the landing of Paredes might be effected before letters could reach these gen lernen through the po-t office, he sought some other mode of sending his communications. Ihts was offered by Mr. A. II. Carpenter, who had been attached to the quartermaster's department of Vera Cruz, and who stated that he had ari acquaintance on bead the steamer who would take charge of the letters and deliver them on the first visit of the boat from tbe custom house. This was to all appearance the best mode w hich could be selected, unless a special agent was employed for the puriiosc of delivery, and I have no idea that nnf ngeut could ftave been engaged for a less sum than from five to six hundred dollars and would the TJ. S. Govern ment have sancti ned such an expenditure for a pur - wise ii luuii ti:u uerim : rur i a rues was Weill t if . 1 11- a I deemed probable that he who was known to bo many could have eluded the vigilance of ntr officers and have escaped from the city, rtot that I think his arrival in Mexico is worthy of consideration. You will readily perceive on perusing the above, that no blame can be attached to our consul in the affair. An American Resident at Havana. "What Governments Cost. The income of the United States, derived by duties on imorted goods, since the adoption of the pystein in 17tÄ) to ISlö, has been between eight and nine hundred million dollars. This is the sum that has been received by the government, after paying" the expenses cf collection, &-C. It may seem rather surprising to the people of this country, that in a period of fifty-six years, the) have paid, through one source alone, the sum of eight hun dred and forty-eight millions of dollars towards the necessary expenses of the government. Süll this is only at the rate of fourteen millions a year. And lhe sum now yearly expended is so much larger, t.ha.' we too often allow it to pas from our notice without a thought of the result in a few years. , In another column are the dttaiFs of tlie revenue business during the period' bove mentioned. The to tal amount received by collectors is stated at exceed ing one thousand, one hundred and twelve millions' ot dollars. The" expenses of the collection are set down at forty-four trillions, four hnndrd thousand dollars, and the balance of the difference between the exlenses of collection and the amount received consists of sums that have been paid in debentures, &c. Thus we have at one view a most iniportant cta'tement. If we could compafe it with' the expense of collecting the satiie amount by direct taxation it would aif rd us an excellent estimate of Ue two systems in that particular.' No one can believe that the same amount coiild have been drawn from the people by direct taxes within the same time. So far from it they would have placed the government on'a fooling of frugality and economy that fs now unknown. .. . Bet this is rrot much more than half the expense which the government of this country has cost the people witiiur the last fifiy years. Add to it the whole revenue received from the public lands and other sources add nlso the expense of each State government that is in operation add also the costs of conventions, of political assemblages, and the sum rolls up to such an amount that the' imagination is appalled at its greatness Thi is the pecuniary cret f frfee and liberal institutions. Vet they are so fruitful and yield such rich return, that the Country enjoys a degree of prosperity unknown under the old systems of human society. X. Y. Ere. Posh 1 A Tariff i"or Revenue.

S." .tThe f illowinir paragraphs which we clip from the.Boston Liberator of the liith September, when it was supposed Gen. Scott had entered the Mexican, Capital, speak the real sentiment of Northern Federalism and that the actual difference between these two twin sisters, is only that Federalism is a coward and a hypocrite, while Abolitionism is bold and unblushing in the expression of its thoughts and findings. Let the honest but deceived supjxirters f-f the Whig party, read these federal paragraphs, and answer to their consciences whether tbey can longer keep sucfi company. , Weitere in hopts t'nl the Mexicans vnuld hitt mustered strength enough at the lost mornn(t to give General Scott a good licking, and fi him to the right ahmt in douhle quick time. Not that we wanted him, or any of his subordinates, to be hurt. Hut ce, should hare liked to hate had them taken prisoners and held uncomfortah't for aKÜfie. But the God of Battles was on Ii.b side,'us he usually is on the side f the best disciplined and most determined fiji liters. But, allhough this buccaneering Nation has succeeded in this piratical war, and hua dictated ptace in the Capital ef Mexico, they have not as yet succeeded in storming the battlements of Heaven and dethroning Him who sits on the throne of the Universe. The Golden Scales of Eternal Juslise still hanr in Heaven , j nnd Tn,s CkKl 'SlE, will yet i Jir be weilied in that balance and b found waiiUru' unless it repent and that t;eedily. Such conquests," which nly serve to extend the weakness of a nation, arc to it what the Spanish ulcer and the Austrian match were to Napoleon They are the swift curses of granted prayers. .Gen. Tavlor on wie Wilsiot Proviso. The New. York Tribune denies the statement that Gen. Taylor is opposed to the Wiimot proviso, end says that it has in its pot-session conclusive evidence vf his hostility to any, farther extension of t(ie slave power.' The same statement has been made in some other quarters ; and we believe our able cotemporary of the lite publishes in his journal an article expressing his desire that t he implied assent of Gen. Taj lor in the views of the Cincinnati Signal, in its editorial relating to the celebrated letter, should be niore explained. We underhand that there is abetter from Gen. Taylor in tins city, which puts forever at rest all doubt on this subject, and shows that on this question he is Irw. If southern r'tihli und principles; in other words,' that he is nppoxri I to the Witmot Prvtiso. We state this, of coarse, from hearsay, not hating 6een the letter ourselves, but having heard of its contents from' good authority. .V. U. Delta, 2U'i ti't. i, ; : . . A CoolTroceeding.

This important national event tlte sale of .the illustrious Slmkspeare'a House, took place at the city auction murlfet on the 16tli.' The affair excited much public anxiety, and drew together a very large number of persons; in fact, the spacious sale room was not tblc to (commodate more than one half of those desirous of being present. It was lid off by the Sjratford and London SliakspeaVe committees, organized for the purchase of the house, for the sum of jtH), amidst immense cheering, which clearly exhibited the gratification which those present felt at the circumstance of this' most interesting national monument having beetr secured for the nation by the committees. Several interesting Shakspearean relics were put up and sold at sums varying from 7j to lGs. Bank Circulation in the UxifED State.
