The public attention has seldom been directed to a. subject of greater importance, or of deeper interest to all classes of th e people, than that which was on Fri day- brought before the Meuse of Commons by Mr. Ewa.ar. The question as to the manner in which the revenue of the country shall be collected; by what means the enormous sums annually payable. for interest on our national debt shall I be provided, and the heavy expenditure neces wiry for the support of our national establish ments, ifor the efficient working of our military, naval, e.nd civil services, satisfactorily defrayed, Involves considerations of 7ao ordinary magnitude. It THE RUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING-, MAY 31, 18412. is not merely a question respecting the continuanc or abrogation, the increase or reduction, of any par ticular item of taxation, by which any particular class may be unduly affected by which their trade may be restricted, their industry paralysed. It is not alone what branch of our trade or commerce shall first be relieved from its burdens, and freed from the restrictions by which it has hitherto been fettered. No; it introduces a still wider field from which no man, or body of men, in the empire is excluded, in which every British subject must be interested. We believe that, hitherto, the just principles of taxation have been grievously misunderstood ; that the great body of the people have been forced to contribute more than their fair proportion to the national burdens ; that they have been thereby prevented from attaining the position and enjoying the comforts to which their unceasing industry, their skill, and energy entitle them. We believe that they are forced to bear burdens which have unfairly been transferred to them from other quarters, on which, in equity, they ought to fall ; and we believe that transfer to be not only unjust in prin ciple, but impolitic in practice; to be not only in equitable, but inexpedient, and injurious alike to the on persons improperly charged, and to those for whose especial benefit the system was invented and brought he into use. Every motive, therefore, demands that the ay prompt and speedy attention, as well of the Legis let lature as of the public generally, should be di rected to this topic, and Mr. EWART, in bringing it T. forward at the time and in the manner he has done, has entitled himself to the public thanks and the lh public gratitude. et, We do not desire that there should be any crude 1, c, ,or hasty legislation on the point. We are better pleased that the House expressed no opinion on e ; Friday. All that Mr. EWART could have wished for nd was attained by the discussion that took place. His views are brought fairly before the country, and before led the time when a Parliamentary discussion can be called se- for an appeal will be made to that country. The people ' ra will be called on to exercise the great constitutional be privileges entrusted to their possession ; they will be required to elect representatives by whom their tort wants and wishes shall be conveyed to the Senate. It IY will be the especial duty of those representatives to decide on the amount of taxation, and the manner in Led which it shall be levied. It would scarcely be fitting he that, at the latter end of the last session of a Parlia ment that has already been prolonged beyond the ordinary period, when it is universally known that its dissolution will be announced within a few weeks, a change of such importance should be decided on. The people may judge for themselves, and it is proper that they should do so. No man should exercise the fran chise before he elicits the views of the aspirant for senatorial honours on the subject. No man should he sent to St. Stephen's as a mere delegate to give certain votes, which no circumstances would justify him in altering. The voter should be careful to select a man of ability and integrity, whose views generally har monise with his own, and in whom he can repose confidence ; who will be competent to express those ♦iews, and who will not be influenced by any undue or corrupt motives. In the very commencement of the new Parliament it will be indispensably neces sary for the House to take into their consideration the continuance of the income-tax, and incidentally the policy of a direct or indirect system of taxation. The first duty, therefore, of every possessor of the elective franchise will be to form his own opinions on this great question, and to ascertain those of the can didates before he gives his vote, and it will be the duty of the public journalist fairly and impartially to discuss such points as may enable his readers to come to a correct conclusion, to form a sound opinion ;hereon. After the desolation of many dismal months pro , - pects are generally and visibly brightening. E% ery thing of a national character promises to be very shortly reinvigorated. There is a prospect of a sp.-edv dissolution of Parliament, and consequently there will be a new and reorganized representation of the different constituencies. The advantages of this alteration are obvious ; the political aspirations of the multitude will be afforded an opportunity of being conspicuously indicated at the different county and borough hustings. A renewal of understandings be tween the candidates and electors will cement into one concrete mass the somewhat joltered and sepa rated sentiments of the million. The Members wil return to St. Stephen's, not the jaded legislators o six or seven sessions, but the refreshed re presentatives of a new and vigorous Par- Ii - tient. Beyond this, the vegetable kingdom affords every reasonable hope of a termination to our prolonged sorrows from the deficiency of provisions. With a continuance of the present brilliant weather the crops must prove of unusual fruitfulness and ex cellence, and with a rational modification in the pre sent fallacious arrangement of the -Currency, the Money Market may be restored to its previous activity and stability. In our manufacturing affairs, moreover, employment must be afforded in abundance immediately credit money is re stored to its original value, for the orders received from foreign purchasers have continued throughout our late involvements of unusual ex tent and frequency. The result of all these unex pected changes must manifestly be the restoration of a happy and profitable industry to the empire. What may we not, therefore, anticipate for the sister island ? Now that " the light of the nation is extinguished," now that the great man in whose personal career the history of Ireland, during the last half century, has been embodied, lies in funereal pomp in the cathedral of Genoa, there is every reason to look forward to the probable futurity of his native land with a more than ordinary solicitude. In the decease of DANIEL O'CONNELL it is impossible to perceive anything but a grievous and irreparable calamity to that country which he served with all the resources of his vast and prolific genius, and with the whole ardour of his gigantic and irrepressible energy. With a marvellous profundity in legal erudition; with a loyalty that survived all the turmoils of popular agitation; with a patriotism that occupied the whole of his capacious heart without diminishing by one tittle the fervency of his domestic affections ; with a moral perseverance and a physical determination that were the wonder and admiration even of his opponents; with an eloquence that swayed the passions of his auditors like the breathings of an AVATAR— an elo quence that alternated through all the phases of spiritual emoticn and all the varied diction of the rhetorician, sometimes blazing into invective, some times soaring into the majestic, sometimes revelling in the humorous, sometimes turning up the whole soul with the language of irresistible pathos— DANIEL O'Commx.r., was in a peculiar manner fitted to direct the mind of a nation, and to conduct them along the paths of the law to extraordinary social reformations. That is his peculiar glory ; that is the glory which will perpetuate his name to the applause of a posterity more capable of estimating his true merits than his own immediate contemporaries. As the Liberator of his fellow-Catholics, And as the chosen Tribune of the people of Ireland, he has entitled himself to per. petual remembrance; but, inasmuch as he was the Liberator of many millions from the thraldom of religious disabilities, without the effusion of one single drop of blood, he has secured for himself immortal honour, unsurpassed and unparalleled. It may be a question whether the fame acquired by the Liberator of I; eland as a rhetorician has been exaggerated or otherwise, althuugh that subtle and in many respects matchless critic, M. DE CORMENIN, has given him the c in om er p tn ar e a ss ti , v t palm among modern orators. But as a man who has striven to elevate a whole race . from debasement and country freOmaSpoali ti m oa a l n st w up h o o r ha a s ud act s u o a o l i l a y l comparative bondage, ab°renmciaarkable COCLICIOII3n of ' raised his citizenship and the immunities c obedience to consciousne ss rights upon pou constitutionalor authorities, DANIEL of cit.' • amorq the benefactors of the O'CONNELL mustf coffin glory .0.7 d his influence go not with the silerice of his coffin his human . a supreme place death. From fam ily. Ilis audibly to the nations. His heart voice speaks shrined in the basilicas of Rome, his b e en remains may repose upon the shores of the maeduigtust ranean sea, but his spirit still survives in that greatr- wreck of humanity, it survives in the good deeds he accomplished, it survives in the magnificent orations he delivered, it survives in the truths which his as. siduous repetition has resolved into maxims. Let Ireland remember the one great maxim of the wis• dom of this illustrious patriot, the maxim which has been mournfully, bat most felicitously enforced by the recent address of the Repeal Association, let Ire- land remember his memorable maxim, " The man who commits a crime gives strength to the enemy," and, acting upon the recollection of that noble apophthegm she will prove herself worthy of DANIEL• O'CONNELL, she will do fitting honour to the memory of that extraordinary man, she will in sure to herself that happy and prosperous futurity for which the dead heart of the Liberator once beat with such fervent and affecting patriotism. We heartily congratulate the country upon the change which has already been wrought in its pros pects with respect to the staple article of national existence. Often as we have endeavoured to guard our readers against participating in the alarming apprehensions which had imbued the public mind on the subject of the supply of food for the current year, we nevertheless appreciated the diffi culty of the task of imparting our confidence to others. The subject -matter itself was of such vital importance that the liveliest emotions of fear were readily excited among the community who, being little conversant with the cereal statistics of other countries, regarded only the excessive prices to which bread of every description had attained in every market, and at once anticipated the worst. The speculators and chief monopolists in corn were keenly alive to the selfish policy of fanning the name of public apprehension. For interested purposes they adopted as their motto spargere voces in vulgum ambiguas, and, doubtless , thereby succeeded, to a great extent, in compassing their covetous object. Matters, however, are now materially changed. The crisis is passed. Concur rently with the transit to our coast of vast stores of grain, PROVIDENCE has been pleased to bless, not only our own, but the entire of the European territory, with the most splendid weather, by which we are cheered with the prospect of the ensuing harvest proving a very abundant one, with every appearance, moreover, should the weather continue propitious, of its being gathered in not later than usual. In all the principal of our home markets the price of corn has happily very con siderably abated, and an improved tone of feel ing has consequently been everywhere manifested. The growing crops are universally in a most flourish. ing state. At Uxbridge market, on Thursday, wheat fell 3/. per load, taking the average prices, as com pared with those" of the previous week ; and yeti notwithstanding this diminished rate, few sales were effected, the buyers •expecting the reduction to be much greater next week. The latest news from Ire land, of the same character, is likewise highly encou raging. The grain crops promise abundance; the potato plant bears, as yet, a healthy and vigorous ap pearar ce ; butter has declined twopence in the pound, and butchers' meat is lowered in price, owing to the luxuriant show of the herbage. On all sides, then, we derive fresh materials for repeating our felicita tions that the United Empire is fast emerging from the gloom which threatened for a time to have more than a transient effect upon the happiness and pros perity of millions of our compatriots. We read in a letter from Constantinople of the 11th:— " According to the last accounts from Athens, the Greek Government has cone to a resolution to make concessions with the ♦iew of putting an end to the sub sisting differences between it and the Porte. This news is not yet officially announced, but there is no reason for entertaining doubts of its truth. The note addressed to the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Athens, M. Persiani, by the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh, must have contri buted to this result. The three members of the Nappht party, who have seats in the Greek Cabinet, must ne cessarily have paid respect to the recommendations of Russia, .anekit is not impossible that this incident may re-establish regular and durable relations between the two countries." A letter, of the 16th instant, from Posen gives the following accounts of serious disturbances in the Grand Duchy, arising from the dearness of pro visions : "It is principally in the north of the country that devastations have been committed. In the sixteen towns of Trzesmo, Gneren. Schrimin, Apolnieo, Plesehen, Czarnikau, Rogasen, Filebne, Sehcelante, Recuiez. Pout dewing, Wresselen-Buk, Wittkowo, Mourowaro-Gossh n, GrinunPn, and Okay, all the corn stores have befrn pillaged, and the public money carried off. The domain of Diaglin has been devastated by•the peasantry of the surrounding villages. The still more extensive domain of Winiez, belonging to Baron Seidlitz, has been invaded by a body of five hundred people, among whom were Russian deserters. M. de Seidlitz assembled and armed with all possible promptitude all the servants and other persons employed on his estates, and a long and san guinary conflict took place with the insurgents, who, however, would have gained the upper hand had not a ! detachment of dragoons come up opportunely and put them to flight, but not till after about fifty men on each side had been killed. The President of the Grand Duchy is concerting with the military authorities on the means of establishing, in each of the chief towns of districts, columns of troops to be kept ready to move at a moment's notice upon any point that may be threa tened. All the garrisons have been reinforced, and an order is about to be issued making the rioters amenable to martial law." Madrid papers of the 22d inst. have arrived. The differences between the QUEEN and her hus band are now openly commented on in the journals. In speaking - of the Palace question, the Espanol says— " That the matter divides itself into two parts, the first of which is complicated, painful, sad,' and the second ' easy, constitutional, and presenting no doubt as to the solution.' The first branch of the question resumes itself, says the Espanol, into this : Had all the transactions relative to the royal marriages any other object than to assure and_sonsolidate an effective marriage between the son of thng of the French and the Infantti; and to sacrifice her Majesty condemning her whole life to widowhood and tears ?' The time, it says, is not yet ripe for clearing up of what it describes as ' this terrible and well-founded doubt;' but it adds, that when the truth shall appear, the Spanish nation and the Cortes will know how to act. The second branch of the matter is, says the Espanol, the pretensions of the King to interfere in state affairs, and to be absolute master in the Royal Palace. It declares that neither can possibly be accorded, the first being unconstitutional, and the second in violation of his and the Queen's marriage con tract." Don FRANCISCO IS, it is said, acting at the instiga tion of a foreign power, and is guided by the advioa of foreign agents. General SERRANO, who is at Araniuez, is stated to be in constant communication with OLOZAGA and other leaders of the Progressistas. The Faro states that a decree recognising, without any exception, the ranks conferred by the ex-Regent &TARTER°, has been signed by her MAJESTY. Colonel BAXERAS, who captured TRISTANY, has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier. Ros D'EROLLES, the Carlist leader who recently entered Catalonia from France, has been killed in a skirmish, while his band Was completely dispersed. The Qummn-was expected in Madrid on the 23d or 24th, to review the garrison. After the review her MAJESTY will proceed to La Granja. MADRID Bor.sa, MAY 22.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 18% ; th e Five per Cents. at 18%; the Debt without Interest at 5% 8 ; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday The Journal des Debats banters the National on the article 'which appeared in our paper of Saturday, giving a programme of a new Ministry. Neverthe less, it would appear that the rumours announcing Ministerial changes are not altogether without foun dation. M. DUFAURE, who was mentioned as the Finance Minister of the future Cabinet, pronounced a speech in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, which is regarded by every one as a discours ministre. The subject under discussion was the proposal of M. GLASS BIZON to introduce an uniform rate of postage. M. DUFAIIRE supported the proposition, and in the the course of his speech sketched a complete plan of financial reform, including the reduction of the Five per Cents., the annulling of the Redeemed Three per Cents., and the lessening the extraordinary credits granted to the Ministers by royal ordonnance. This speech produced such an effect, that the amendment proposed by a Ministerial Deputy was rejected, and the original proposition would have been carried against the Ministers, had not the President managed by a juggle to adjourn the Chamber, without sub mitting to it the question, so as to give Ministers an opportunity of " whipping in " for the next day. The debate was resumed on Thursday, and was not Committe e t he M concluded wh en th e post left. The follow i ng art i c l e, which app ears i n the Journal des Dibats, shows how completely Ministers stther,fic Chamber r b o e f e nDepbe Deputies t t i e e ri s 1 i o h n t t h h e Budget, in i ts S i tt i ng of Tuesday, Committee on the Budget : " Th Tuescloy, took a grate resolu tion on the Budget relative to extraordinary public works. In accordance with the Minister of Public Works, who, however, only consented with regret, the Committee proposes to reduce :-Ist. 44,200,0001., in the demand for 66,000,000 E proposed in tne establish ment of lines of railway ; 2d. 17,000,000 f. in the de mand for 19,000,000 f. for maritime ports and light houses ; 3d. 2,000,000 f. in the demand for 15,000,000 f. destined for Royal roads ; 4th: 9,000,000 E in the de mand of 14,000,000 f. for the construction of new canals; sth. 14,000,000 E in the demand of 15,000,000 E for the improvement of rivers. Thus, on the amount of 131,000,000 E in the Budget of 1848 for extraordinary public works, the Committee demands a reduction of 86,000,0001., which would reduce to 45,000,000 f, the grants for extraordinary public works ; but this sum is to be increased by the balances of the year 1847, and by the 13 600,0001: which have just been demanded from the Chamber for the Northern, Vierz in, and Avignon Railways ; which will give a sum of 74.000,000 t: to disburse on railways in 1848. The Com mittee will subsequently occupy itself with the division of this sum among the different lines ; and it is to have a proposition to this effect submitted to it by the Minister of Public Works. Considerable reductions have also been made by the Committee in the budget ef extraor dinary works of the War Department. The demands for these works amnunted, pursuant to the laws of 1841 and 1842, to 22,380,000 f. The Committee has prcvi sionalty resolved that they shall be reduced to 10,000,000 f. Finally. 1,500,000 c, will be cut off from the sum of 6.500,0001: demanded for works by the Marine Department. The Minister of War and Gee. De la Rue, director of the affairs of Algeria, were examined yesterday by the Committee on the budget of Algeria. The explanations that they gave were on details relative to different services, and appeared generally to satisfy the Committee. The reductions proposed by the Com mittee were of little importance. The Committee adopted in the same sitting a definitive resolution on the privi lege of carrying the balance of one year to another, ac corded to Ministers by our financial system. It had provisionally decided that this privilege should be sup- . pressed ; hut s after having heard M. L acave L ap l agne, and subsequently M. trumen and M. Jayr, several mem• hers proposed to change that decision, and to maintain the present system, This proposition, however, having only united seven votes against seven, was not adopted. The Committee decided that by an additional article, or by an amendment inserted in the law of finance, it should be proposed to the Chamber to suppress the pri vilege of 'tarrying the balance over to another year, excepting, however, the case in which a credit may have 0 , .1y been opened for one year, for extraordinary works. The suppression of this __privilege will only take effect from let January, 1849." M. JAYR, the new Minister for Public Works, in troduced on Wednesday two Bills to enable the Paris and Lyons and the Lyons and Avignon Railway Companies to proceed with their works. In the course of the discussion M. LHERBETTE demanded that before the appointment of the Committee to ex• amine the Bill, a list should be presented to the Chamber of those Deputies who were directors or shareholders in either of the companies. The Con stitutionnel, in noticing the presentation of the Bills, says— " The object of these-Bills is easy to understand. At the moment at which the Administration suspends the enterprises it has executed at its cost, it has felt the ne cessity of facilitating to companies the means o f con tinning their w o r k s , in order not to leave the labouring elapses without employ ; these are expedients cow mandt-d by the situation, and are at the same time. on the part of the Ministry, complete avowals of its want of foresight." The Debate on the same subject has the follow ing : Our readers will perceive that these two Bilk give no definitive solution to the position so embarrassed, and after all so unfortunate, c f these :,wo companies They adjourn this solution to another time, stipulating that the companies must spend each 10,000,000/. within a year, not including the purchase of lands ; on this con dition, if they desire to abandon their enterprise in May, 1848, they may do so, the first losirg 24,000,0001. of its capital, and the second something equivalent. They are very prosperous companies—are they not? They will only lose 12 per cent. of their capital ; but it is a shame tor these companies to rob the St- , te! Ila M. Lherbette, M. Luneatt, and M. Gamier Pages watch over it? They desire that the Committees shall be nemi nated by a scrutiny of the list, iii a public sitting. They exact that .he lists f subscriptions, primitive, succes sive, definitive, with all the variations they have under. gone from sales and purchases, shall be communica , ed to the Chamber, in order that it may be asce.rta;ned, if there be not by chance. some Deputy in the affair! We mention the incident—there is no need of comment. lTher, companies ruin themselves, there are people who find that they are to, profiranle." DUCEIATEL was sufficiently recovered from his fever to be able to attend a Cabinet Council held at the Hotel of Marshal SOUL'''. on Thursday. The Chamber of Peers voted on Wednesday, by a majority of 100 to 13, the project of law authorising the Bunk of France to issue notes of 200 f. The Cubieres affair is becoming of greater import ance. Every day fresh discoveries are made impli cating in charges of corruption parties of the highest rank in the State. " The affair of General Cubic s .'.res," says the Union Mona? chigue, "is assuming a great development. It; as we are assured, former Ministers are so far compromised as to be liable to impeachment fir acts of their ad ministration, it is not to the Chamber of Peers, out to the Chamber of Deputies, the prosecution should bi committed. To the latter alone ought the inquiry ai.d accusation be entrusted." " Let us pass," says La Mode," from Spanish and Por tuguese complications to matters which are embroiled, and which affect us more nearly. Like a stain from oil, the Cubilres, Parmentier, and Company affair is every day increasing, and we know not where the scandal will stop. At one moment it was expected that the Upper Chamber, being leniently disposed, would declare that there existed no cause fora prosecution. But now the affair is become serious, the oldest members start. the youngest become attentive, and the most pure ex claim loudly, and demand an example in order definitively to put an end to corruption. Last week M. Parmentier, having been summoned to appear before the Court of Pe'ers, neglected to obey, and M. Pasquier, the Chancel lor, with that juvenile impatience under which he labours, dispatched an officer to bring the defaulter before him. The messenger found M. Parmentier in jacket and slip pers smoking a cigar tranquilly. Whilst puffing clouds of smoke h was engaged in arranging papers. The papers are immediately seized, and M. Parmentier, by command, is obliged to dress himself and reply to the Committee at the Luxembourg appointed to discover the light in the midst of darkness. Fiat lux. If we are to believe the reports in circulation, the papers seized at the residence of M. Parmentier resemble in no respect those which remained in Pandora's urn. In place of hope this capture has produced regret and anxiety. If we are well informed, a certain correspondence has been dis covered relative to bargains and concessions of railroads. In consequence of this new information fresh interroga tories have been commenced, and ~everal persons - holding a distinguished position in society are implicated." The Duke of MONTEBELLO, the new Minister of Marine, landed at Marseilles on the 28th, and pro ceeded to Toulon, to pay his respects to the Prince DE JortiviLLE, and to inspect the squadron.

Oh! why is the wild harp of Erin unstrung, Oh! why are its melodies dying away. Oh! why is the cypress-wreath mournfully flung, Where late was the shamrock so green and so gay N di, Oh! the heart of the harper is mute with despair. His voice is sent forth in a desolate moan, Th:,t in unison Wends with his heart-breathing prayer, And found him, alas! now deserted—alone! For though all the ties of his kindred might part, Thu' Death had struck from him the lov'd and the dear, There was one who had truly a free Irish heart, And ever would shed with the joyless a tear. And where was RE now? had that noble form perished Wa. that mi:, 7 hty heart stilled in the midst of its woe Oh, sad '&is to break from the thintz we have cherished, That loved us as friends and resisted our foes. But while we lament for O'Connell with sadness. And with the wild grief of despair o'er him weep, Let us cherish a hope—n bright glitter of gladness- We know that HE shall not for ever thus sleep! Tho' the dark grave be c 1 sed o'er that one noble head, And the voice of our champion be hush'd in the tomb, Yet the angels of God shall vatch 0%1- his bed, And the bright stars of heav'n illumine the gloom. And the strife of that spirit with earth shall now cease. No longer it mourns for oppres,don and woe; But inhabits the halcyon regi ns of peace In that " very tar" land which no murtal may know. For sop! tr •rn the skits a bright chariot de4eeridipg, Conducted by angels, and b Toe on the Wind, bears his +reed spirit to joy never•i-nding, And leaves bat the e4sket of earth here behind! So, minstrel, resume thy melodious numbers, br, at he in each accent a soft lay of love, 'or O'Connell, though now in his grave, only slumberi, Till the voice of the trumpet shall call him above. Arid h;s own lovely Erin, fair gem of the wan, Shad sw. oily break forth Iroin her durksome repoie, No lonuer be ravaged by civic commo , ion, But rising triumphant to frietid.l, turn her foes!

DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR CHICHESTER.— The Belfast Chronicle of Wednesday says—" We deeply lament to announce the demise of Sir Arthur Chichester, Bart., which melancholy event took place yesterday at his resi dance, Adelaide-place, in this town. He had been for some time ill (of bilious fever, as we understand), and was re cently said to be getting better, but his constitution at length sank under the length and virulence of the ma , lady. The late Sir Arthur was the son of the Rev. William Chichester, by Mary Anne, the daughter of Mr. George Harvey, of JSfalin-hall. He was created a Baronet in 182 and was closely connected with the Donegal family, as well as that of the Earl of O'Neill He was unmarried, and the title is now, of course, extinct. Sir Arthur repre sented the borough of Carrickfergus for several years in Par liament, and was a decided Conservative in politics. His family seat was at Greencastle, county of Donegal, where he spent much of his time, but latterly, owing to the in creasing delicacy of his health, he resided principally in Bel fast. By his demise the office of weighmaster of Belfast, which he held, reverts to the town-council, for the benefit of the inhabitants, under the purchase which the corpora tion recently made from Lord Donegal and his trustees, and which it is the object of the Bill now before Parliament to confirm." SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.—The Oriental steam ship, Captain Brooks with the heavy portion of the Indian mail, arrived in the docks early this morning from Alexan dria.

THE MEXICANS AGAIN DEFEATED. JALAPA AND PEROTE TAKEN. FLIGHT OF SANTA ANNA. Major-General Paterson left a sick bed to share in he dangers and fatigues of the day, and after the sur ren.'er went forward to command the advanced forces toward Xalapa. Brigadier General Pillow and his brigade twice assaulted with great daring the enemy's line of britte. ries on our left, and *hough without success, they con tributed much to distract and dismay their immediate opponents. President Santa Anna, with GMnerals Catializo Ihnonte, and some six or eight thousand men, escaper toward X,daptt just before Cerro Gordo was carried and before lwiggs's division reached the National Road above. I have determined to parole the prisoners—officer , and men— as I have not the means of feeding then' here beyond to-day, and cannot afford to detach a heavy bAy of horse and foot. with wagons, to accom pany them to Vera Cruz. Our baggage train, though increasing, is not yet half large enough to give a►. assured progress to this army. Beside, a _greater number of prisoners would, pro escape from the escort in the long and dpe r sandy road. without subsistence—ten to one—that we shall find ag.tin, out of the satne body of men, in the ranks opposed to us. Not one of the Vera Cruz prisoners is believed to have been in the lines o' Cerro Gordo. Some six of the officers, highest it, rank, refuse to give their paroles. except to go t, Vera Cruz, and thence, perhaps to the United States The small arms and their accoutrements being o 4 no value to our army her. or at home, I have ordered ;hem to he destroyed ; for we have not the means oi transporting them. lam also somewhat embarrassed pi e ces of with the • a rtillery—all bronze --which we have captured. It would take a bri g ade, and halt the mules of our army, to transport them fifty mile,. A field battery I shall take for service with the army ; but the heavy metal must be collected, and left here for the present. 'We have our own siege -trait, and the pr .per carriages with us. Being much occupied with the prisoners, and a ll the details of a forward movement, beside looking t o the supplies which are to follow from Vera Cruz, I have time to add no more — intending to be at X a l apa early to-morrow. We shall not, probably, again meet with serious opposition this side of Perote— certainly not, unless delayed by the means of trans. portation. I have the honour to remain, Sir, with high respect, Sour most obedient servant, WINFIELD SCOTT. P.S. I invite attention to an accompanying letter to the Peesident Santa Anna, taken in his carriage yesterday; aITo to his proclamation, issued on hear ing that we had captured Vera Craz, &c. in which If the enemy a d vance one step more, the Independence w ill b e b uried in the abyss of t Nh h ea e ts p iao as ynsa ti l " " ‘Ve have tak en th at step. W. S. I make a second postscript, to say that there is some hope, I am hannv to learn, that General Shields may survive his wounds. One of the pri,,cipal motives for paroling th: , prisoners of war is, to diminish the resistance of other garrisons in our march. Hon. Wm. L. Al a W. S. i•cv, S . eymary-at-War. (From the New Y;rk Tribune.) List of Mexican officers captured at Cerra Gordo on the 18th of April, who have given their parole of honour to report theri , elves, without delay. to the Comma•irl-mt of the American forces at Vera Crux as prisoners of war : Jose Ma Jarero Brigadier -general. Romala de la Vega, Brigadler-general. THE UNUED STA AND Al By the steam ship Caledonia, which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday morning, we have received New York papers of the 15th instant. Their contents are very important. On the 17th and 18th of April the American forces under the command of Gen. Scott, completely defeated the .Mexican army, commanded by Santa Anna, killing 400 and taking five generals and 3,000 Mexicans prisoners. Santa Anna flee', leaving his carriage, his money, his plate, and even the dinner which had been prepared for him in the hands of the victors, The American force amounted to 8.178 men, the Mexican force was estimated at 14,000. The following is the official dispatch of General Scott announcing his victory : Head -quarters of the Army, Plan del Rio, 50 m les from Vera Cruz, April 19,1847. Sir,—The plan of attack, sketched in General Or ders, No. 111, herewith, was finely executed by this gallant army, before two o'clock P.M. yesterday. We are quite embarrassed with the results of victory-_ prisoners of war, heavy ordinance, field batteries, small arms, and accoutrements. About 3,000 wen laid down their arms with the usual propertion of field and company officers beside five generals, several of them of great distinction. Pinson, Jarrero, La Vega, N oriega, and Abando A sixth general, Vasquez, was killed in defending the battery (tower) in the rear of the whole Mexican army, the capture of which gave us those glorious results. Our loss, though comparatively small in number, has been serious. Brigadier General Shields, a com mander of activity, zeal, and talent, is, I iear, if not dead, mortally wounded. He is some five miles from me at this moment. The field of operations covered many miles, broken by mountains and deep chasms, and I have not a report, as yet, from any division or brigade. Twigg's division, followed by Shield's (now Col. Baker's brigade) are now at or near Xalapa, and Worth's division is in route thither, all pursuing, with good results, as I learn, that part of the elexi can army—perhaps six or seven thousand men, who fled before our right had carried the tower, and gained the Xalapa road. Pillow's brigade alone, is near me at this depot of wounded, sick, and prisoners ; and I have time only to give from him the names of First Lieut. F. B. Nelson, and Second C. G. Hill, both of the Second Tennessee foot (Haskell's Regiment) among the killed, and in the brigade 106, of all ranks, killed or wounded. Among the latter, the gallant Bri ga di er G enera l himself has a smart woun d in the arm, but not dis abled, and Major R. Ferqueson, 2d Tennessee ; Captain 11. F. Alurray, 24 Lieut. G. T. Sutherland, lst Lieut. W. P. Hale, Adjutant, all of the same regiment, severely, and lst Lieut. W. Yearwood, mortally wounded. All I know, from personal ob servation on the ground, that Ist Lieut. Ewell, of the Rifles, it not now dead, was mortelly , wounded in entering, sword in hand, the entrenchtnents around the captured tower. Second Lieutenant Derby, Topographical E. gi nears, I also saw, at the sa i,e place, severely wounded, and Captain Patten, 2,1 Un ted States Infantry, lost his right hand. Major Sumner, 21 United States Dragoons, was slightly wounded the day before, and Captain Johnston, Topographical Engineers (Now Lietvenant Colonel of Infantry) was very severely wounded some days earner, white reconnt&ering. I must not omit to add that Captain Mason and Second Lieutenant Davis, both of the rifles, were among the very severely wounded in storming the same tower. I estimate our total loss, in Killed and wounded may be about 250, and thst of the enemy 350 In the pursuit towerds Xalapa (25 miles hence) I learn we have added much to the enemy's hiss in prisoners, killed, are! weutide.l. In fact, [ suppose his retreat• ng army to be nearly disorganised, and hence my hate to toll, w, in an hour or two, to profit b . events. In this hurried and imierfect report I must not omit to say that" Brigadief General Twiggs, in oas 7 ing the mountain range beyond Cerro Gordo, .crowned with the tower, detached from his division, as I suggested the day before, a strong force to carry that height, which commanded the Xalapa road nt the foot, and could not fail, if carried, to cut eff the whole, or any part of the enemy's forces, from a re • rear in any direction. A portion of the Ist artillery, under the often diilinguished Brevet Colonel Child , , the 3d infantry, under Captain Alexander, the 7th infantry, under Lieutenant- Colonel Plyinpton, and the rifles, under Major Loring, all und-r the temporary command of Colonel Harney, 21 dragoons, during the confine ment to his bed of Brevet-Brigadier General P. F. Smith, composed that detachment. The style of exe cution, whicn I had the pleasure to witness, was most nrilliant and decisive. The brigade ascended the long and difficult slope of Cerro Gordo, without shelter, and under the tre mendous fire of artillery and musketry with the utmost steadiness, reached the breastworks, drove the enemy from them, planted the colours of the Ist ar tillery, 11 and 7th infantry—the enemy's flag still flying—and, after some minutes' sharp firing, finished the conquest with the bayonet. It is a most pleasing duty to say that the highest praise is due to Harney, Childs, Plympton, Loring, Alexander, their gallant officers and men, for this brilliant service, independent of the great results which soon followed. Worth's division of regulars coming uJ at this time, he detached Br eve t Lieutenant-Colonel C. F. Smith, with his light battalion, to support the assault, but not in time. The General reaching the tower a few minutes before me, and observing a white flag dis played from the nearest portion of the enemy's batte ries below, sent out Colonels Harney and Childs to hold a parley. The surrender followed in an hour or two. Juan Morales, General of Brigade of the Mexicali Republic, to the Nation and its Allies. It haviog come to my knowledge that some cbie(ted and officers of the invading army of the United States, which have operated against Vera Cru z ' said that General Scott had previously advised ne . that the families could leave, to avoid the evils Otto? ant upon a bombardment, and that consequently those which have happened are chargeable upon me; in order that neither now nor at any future time tuff f accusation of injustice may sti gma ti se the defence o f Vera Cruz, I declare that it i s f a l se that any such advice was given ; that the only communication -•- nave derived from General S co tt t en d e d to summ er , we in general terms t o surr en d er; that even the neutrals were prevented from l eav i ng the place ; t b if the Mexican families could have left, the earl would not have occupied the place without firs burying its defenders in the ruins. JUAN MORALES. JALAPA, APRIL 24, 184 7 - General Scott is said to have dispatched a messes' ger to Mexico or to the point occupied by the Legit" lative Junta.

Seno r . Ansfa umnediatelY issued the following proclamation : Citizen Pedr, Maria Anaya, President Substitute of the Republic, to his Fellow citizen& M xic;.ns—At a moment in which the loss of Ulna and of Vera Cruz, in which the dangq. of the !apital itself obliges the worthy Pres Ant of the re public to vacate the Government an.l take command tf the army, the vote of the representatives of the :)eopie has committed to me the Exttutive power of The Uni n. Ever devoid of ambition, and deeply penetrated .vith the terrible difficulty of existing circumstances, the imperious force or duty alone could impel me to ,ccept the re-ponsibility. But, a citizen and a sol dier, I owe to my country the sacrifice of repose, of rife, and even of my reputation. The voice of pa triothm cries to me that it is necessary to save our country or to perish. The war which devastates Mexico is for us the most sacred of causes. The world contemplates with lisvust our neighbours of the North converted into conquerors, to gain pos , .ession of a territory the faith of tre a ties, w hi c h r i g h ts t h e most worthy o f respect assure to us. Never was th ere a d efence mo re legitimate, never a war more n ecessary. I n it e ver" , thing is at sake--our honour, as we ll as our n ational existence, th“ present and the f u t ure . The territory we have l os t, th e c i t i es w hich have been bom profusely bombarded. the bl oo d w hi c h h as so which flowed in this war—all constrain us to prosecute it, undismayed by reverses. It is necessary to pm." that our name ran k s w i t h j ust i ce among t h ose of the people of the universe. Let us accept the trial to which Providence subjects us—that from great crises nations are regenerated. - This people cannot think of peace,. because it involves its consent to the dismemberment of our ,ioun*ry ; it cannot think of the disgrace of our rime, because the un worthy thought would proclaim that Mexico, incapable of showing her valour, and enduring sacrifices, is at the disposal of every people ho can bombard her cities and march an army upon her territory. After such disgrace, our independence would be a derision, our nationality a transitory act. War then is the cry of the people ; war is the policy of the Government. To wage it successfully - but one element is neces sary—Union. Too long has our strength been wasted in senseless c(nflicts; it is necessary to uni o the , whole against the ti,reigner. In the name of the , country I conjure all Mexicans that they rally around the sacred standard of liielependence and the Repub , • lie ; that they cease from these pernicious dirisiao s which facilitate the projects of the invader, whit ;12 excite smiles of criminal joy in those who coo nt upon erecting a foreign throne upon the ruins_of J ur conquered and humiliated cou ntr y . • have not accentcd power forathe triumph of any party. The G ,vernment thinksof upon toe common salvation. In its eyes all genera IS opinions are worthy of respect; all republicans r good sons of the country. Throughout my --- P.
