AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OFTLIECAMBRIA.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING.

WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND

By the arrival here MthEisXelrCcnOin.,
of the Royal Mail
steam-ship Cambria, commanded)Captain
y Judkins,
we have received New Yu
rk papers to the 15th instant
This splendid steam-ship has made an expeditious
passage, and has brought upwards of seventy passengers.
The news by this arrival will be .deemed very im-
portant, hostilities having commenced on the 26th of
April, on the Texian frontiers, between the Mexican and
United States forces, in which the Americans have
suffered the loss of thirteen Billed; six wounded, and
460 taken prisoners ; in consequence of which great
excitement prevailed throughout the States ; and, in
New Orleans Mobile, and other cities near the seat of
war, great efforts were being made to enlist men to pro-
ceed to the relief of General Taylor, whose position, it
would appear, is deemed to be critical.
At Washington also, the ferment was very great, and
a Bill had passed both Houses of Congress, and
received the sanction and signature of the President,
appropriating 10,000,000 dollars for carrying on the
war, and authorising the enrolment of militia to the
number of 50,000 men, together with an augmentation of
the regular forces by 7000 men.
General Taylor had made requisitions on the governors
of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, for
reinforcements, to which Louisiana had immediately re-
sponded by voting 100,000 dollars. At New Orleans
1500 men wers enrolled in a few days, and 500 more were
hourly expected from the vicinity, and would proceed
immediately to the seat of war.
This state of affairs has had a very depressing effect en
the stocks, and trade generally. The Oregon question
seems to be lost sight of, and the tariff for the present
13id aside. It is also doubtful whether the Sub-Tr: asury
Bill will be further proceeded with at the present
juncture.
We subjoin the formal proclamation of war :
" PROCLAMATION
" OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
"Whereas, thd Congress of the United States, by virtue of the
constitutional authority vested in them, have declared by their act
bearing date this day, that by the act of the Republic of Mexico, a
state of war exists between that Government and the United States :'
" Now, therefore, I, James K. Polk, President of the United
States of America, do hereby proclaim to all whom it may concern,
and I do specially enjoin on all persons holding offices, civil or mili-
tary, under the authority of the United States, that they be vigilant
and zealous in discharging the duties respectively incident thereto.
And I do, moreover, exhort all the good people of the United States,

as they love their country, as they fel the wrongs which have
forced on them the last resort of injured nations, and as they consult
the best means nnder the blessing of Divine Providence of abridging
its calamities, that they exert themselves in preserving order; in pro-
moting concord, in maintaining the authority and the efficacy of the
laws, and in supporting and invigorating all the measures which
may be adopted by the constituted authorities for attaining a
speedy, a just, and, an honourable peace.
" In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my fiand, and caused
the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents.
" Done at the city of Washington, this 13th day of May, 1846, and
of the independence of the United States the 70th.
" By the President, " JAMES K. POLK.
" JAMES BUCHANAN, Secretary of State."
On the 11 th ult. the President transmitted to Congress the fol-
lowing message:—
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.-
" To the Senate and House of Representatives,
" The existing state of the relations between the United States
and Mexico renders it proper that I should bring the subject to th-
consideration of Congress. In my message at the commencement o.
your prese.:t session, the state of these relations, the causes which
led to the suspension of diplomatic intercourse between the two
countries in Match, 1845, and the long continued and unredressed
wrongs and injuries committed by the Mexican Government on citi-
zens of the United States in their persons and property, ware briefly
set forth.
" As the facts and opinions which were then laid before you were
carefully considered, I cannot better express my present convictions
of the condition of affairs up to that time than by referring you to
that communication.
" The strong desire to establish peace with Mexico, on liberal and
honourable terms , and the readiness of this Government to regulate
and adjust our boundary, and other causes of difference with that
power, on such fair and equitabit principles as would lead to perma-
nent relations .of the most friendly nature, induced me in September
last to seek the re-opening of diplomatic relations between the two
countries. Every measure adopted on our part had for its object the
furtherance of those desired results. In communicating to Congress
a succinct statement of the injuries which we had suffered from
Mexico, and which have been accumulating during a period of more
than twenty years, every expression that could tend to inflame the
people of Mexico, or defeat or delay a pacific result, was carefully
avoided. An Envoy of the United States repaired to Mexico with
full powers to adjust every existing difference. Bat though present
on the Mexican soil, by agreement of the two Governments, invested
with full powers, and bearing evidence of the most friendly disposi-
tions, his mission has been unavailing. The Mexican Government
not only refused to receive him, or listen to his propositions, but,
after a long-continued series of menaces, have at last invaded our
territory, and shed the blood of "cur fellow-citizens on our own soil.
It now becomes my duty to state more in detail the origin, pro-
gress, and failure ofthat mission. In pursuance of the instructions
given in September last, an inquiry was made on the 13th of October,
1,45, in the most friendly terms through our Consul in Mexico, of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whether the Mexican Government .
would receive an Envoy from the United States intrusted with full
powers to adjust all the questions in dispute bet seen the two Go-
vernments; with the assurance that 'should the answer be in the
affirmative, such an Envoy should be immediately dispatched to
Mexico.' The Mexican Minister, on the 15th of October, gave an
affirmative answer to this inquiry, requesting at the same time that
our naval force at Vera Cruz might be withdrawn, lest its continued
presence might assume the appearance of menace and coercion pend-
ing the negotiations. This force was immediately withdrawn.
On the 10th of November, 1845, Mr. John Slidell, of
Louisiana, was commissioned by me as Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of Mexico, and
was intrusted with full powers to adjust both the questions of
the Texas boundary and of indemnification to our citizens. The re-
dress of the wrongs of our citizens naturally and inseparably blended
itself with the question of boundary. The settlement of the one
question in any correct view of the subject involves that of the other.
I could not for a moment entertain the idea that the claims of our
much-injured and long-suffering citizens, many of wlith had existed
for more than 20 years, should be postponed or separated from the
settlement of the boundary question.
" Mr. Slidell arrived at Vera Cruz on the 30th of November, and
was courteously received by the authorities of that city. But the
Government of General Herrera was then tottering to its fall. The
revolutionary party had seized upon the Texas question to effect or
hasten its overthrow. Its determination to restore friendly relations
with the United States, and to receive our Minister to negotiate for
the settlement of this question, was violently assailed, and was made
the great theme of denunciation against it. The Government of
General Herrera, there is good reason to believe, was sincerely de-
sirous to receive our Minister; but it yielded to the storm raised by
its enemies, and on the 2lst of December refused to accredit Mr.
Slidell upon the most frivolous pretexts. These are so fully and ably
exposed hi the note of Mr. Slide'l of the 24th of December last to
the Mexican Minister of Foret.4n Relations, herewith transmitted,
that I deem it unnecessary to enter into further detail on this poi* •
tion of the subject.
Five days after the date of Mr. Slidell's note, General Herrer
yielded the government to General Paredes without a struggle, and
on the 30th of December resigned ills Presidency. This revolution
was accomplished solely by the army, the people having taken little
part in the contest , and thus the supreme power in Mexico passed
into the hands of a military leader.
" Determined to leave no effort untried to effect an amicable ad-
justment with Mexico, I directed Mr. Slidell to present his creden-
tials to the Government of General Paredes, and ask to be officially
received by him. There would have been less ground for taking this
step had General Paredes come into power by a regular constitutional
succession, In that event his /administration would have been con-
sidered but a mere constitutional continuance of the Government of
General Herrera; and the refusal of the latter t 3 receive our Minister
would have been deemed conclusive, unless an intimation had been
given by General Paredes of his desire to reverse the decision of his
predecessor

" But the Government Of General Paredes owes its existeve to a
military revolution, by which the subsisting constitutional autho-
rities had been subverted. The form of government was entirely
changed, as well as all the high functionaries by whom it was ad-
ministered.
" Under these circumstances, Mr. Slidell, in obedience to my di-
rection, addressed a note to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions, under date of the Ist of March last, asking to be received by
that Government in the diploma:lc character to which he had been
appointed. This Minister, in his reply, under date of the 12th of
March, reiterated the arguments of his predecessor, and in terms
that may be considered as giving just grounds of offence to the Go-

vernmeta and people of the United States, denied the application of
Mr. Slidell. Nothing, therefore, remained for our Envoy but to de-
mand his passports and return to his own country.
Thus the Government of Mexico, though solemnly pledged by
official acts in October last to receive and accredit an American

Envoy, violated their plighted faith, and refused the offer of a-peace-
ful adjustment of our difficulties. Not only was the offer rejected,
but the indignity of its rejection was enhanced by the manifest
breach of faith in refusing to admit the Envoy, who came because
they had bound themselves to rec?ive him. Nor can it be said that
the offer was fruitless from the want of opportunity of discussing it;
our Envoy was present on their own soil. Nor can it be ascribed to

a want of sufficient powers ; our EnVoy had full powers to adjust
every question of difference. Nor was there room for complaint that
our propositions for settlement were unreasonable; permission was,
Nor
can even given our Envoy to make any proposition whatever. or
can it be objected that we, on our part, would not listen to any rea-
sonable terms of their suggestion ; the 3fexican Government refused
all negotiation, and have made no proposition of any hind.
" In my message at the commencement of the present session, I
informed you that upon the earnest appeal both of the Congress and
Convention of Texas, I had ordered an efficient military force to take
a position between the Nueces and the Del Norte. This had become
neccssat y to meet a threatened invasion of Texas by the Mexican
forces, for which extensive military preparations had been made.
The Invasion was threatened solely because Texas had determined,
In accordance with a solemn resolution of the Congress of the United
States, to annex herself to our Union; and, under these circum-
stances, it was plainly our duty to extend our protection over her ci-
tizens and soil.

" Th!s force was concentrated at Corpus Christi, and remained there
until after I had received such information from Mexico as rendered
it probable, if not certain, that the M exican Governmentwould re-
fuse to receive our Envoy.
" Meantime, Texas, by the final action of our Congress, had beatalts-
an integral part of our Union. The Congress of Texas, by its act er
December 19, 1836, hag declared the Rio del Norte to be the bountlar:.•
of that republic. Its jurisdiction had been extended and exercised
beyond the Nueces. The country between that river and the Del
Norte had been represented in the Congress and in the COIIVOIt ion of
Texas, had thus taken part in the act of annexation itself, and
is now included within one of our Congressional districts. Our
Congress had, moreover, with great unanimity, by the act approved
December 21, 1845, recognised the country beyond the Nueces as a
part of our territory, by including It within our revenue system t
and a revenue officer, to reside withhi that district, has been ap-
pointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. It be-
c • me, therefore, of urgent necessity to provide for the defence of
that portion of cur country. Accordingly, on the 13th day of Ja-
nuary last, instructions were issued to the Generals in command of
these troops to occupy the left bank of the Del Norte. This river,
which Is the south-western boundary of the State of Texa,, is en
exposed frontier. From this quarter invasion INT. 3 threatened i upon
it and its immediate vicinity, in the judgment of high military ex-
perience, are the proper stations for the protecting forces of the
crGo-
vernment. In addition to this important consideration, severaleoLes
occurred to induce this movement. Among these are the l',ol`blel
afforded by the ports of Brazos Santiago and the mouth '
Norte, for the reception of supplies by sae, the stronger and more
a ready
healthful military poeitions, the convenience for obtai
fuel,ll land forage,
and it mere abundant supply of provisions, water,
and the advantages which are afforded by the Del Ntoitlu forwardiug

" The army moved from Corpus Christi on the filth of March, and
on the 28th of that month arrived on the left bank of the Del Norte,
opposite to Matamoros, where it encamped oit a commanding post- .
ten, Which has since been strengthened by the erection of Dela-

works. A depot has also been established at Point Isabel, n(ar.th3
Brazos Santiago, 30 miles in the. rear of the encampment. The seleo.
tion of this position was necessarily confided to the judgment of the
General in corammd.
" The-Mexican forces at Ifatamoras assumed a hellgorcnt at titade,

Gen. Taylor to break up his camp within 24 hours, and to retire be-

pledging her public faith for this redress, have been disregarded. A
Government unable or unwilling to enforce the execution of such
treaties fails to pet form one of its plainest duties.
" Our commerce with Mexico has been almost annihilated. It
was formerly highly beneficial to both nations, but our merchants

extortion which the Mexican authorities have pursued against them,
whilst their appeals through their own Government for indemnity
have been made in vain. Our forbearance has gone to such an ex-
tent as to be mistaken in its character. Had we acted- with vigour
in repelling the insults and redres.thig the injuries inflicted by Mexico
at the commencement, we should doubtless have escaped all the
difficulties in which we are now involved.
" Instead of this, however, we have been exerting our best efforts
to propitiate her good will. Upon the pretext that Texas, a nation as
independent as herself, thought proper to unite its destinies with our
own, She has affected to believe that we have severed her rightful
territory, and, in official proclamations and manifestoes, has repeat- ,
edly threatened to make war upon us for the purpose of reconquering
Texas. In the meantime we have tried every effort at reconellia-
tion. The cup of forbearance has been exhausted, even before the
resent Information from the frontier of the Del Norte. But now, 1
after reiterated menaces, Mexico has passed the boundary of the
United States; hat invaded our territory, and shed American blood

"As war exists, and, notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid it,
exists by the act of Mexico herself, we ore called upon by every con-
sideration of duty and patriotism, to 'vindicate with decision the
honour, the ri-hts and the interests of onkpountry.

instructions wers given in August last, 'ass precautionary measure,'

against invasion, or threatened invasion, authorising General Taylor,
if the emergency reqhired, to'accept volunteers, not from Texas only,
but from the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
and Keniecky ; and corresponding letters were addressed to the re-
spective governors of those states. These instractione were repeated,
and in January last soon after the incorporation of Texas ir to our
union 01 States,' General Taylor was further authorised ty the Pre-
sident to make a requisition upon the executive of that state for such
of its militia force as may be needed to repel invasion or to secure
the country against apprehended invasion.' On the 2.1 day of March
he was again reminded, in the event of the approach of any con-
siderable Mexican force, promptly and efficiently to use the authority
with which he was clothed to call to hi:n such auxiliary force es he
might nee,l: War actually existing, and our territory having been
Invaded, General Taylor, persuant to authority vested in him, by
my direction, has called on the Governor of Texas for four regi-
ments of State troops—two to be mounted, and two to serve on foot;
and on the Governor of Louisiana for four regiments of infantry, to
be sent to him as soon as practicable.
" In further vindication of our rights and defence of our territory,
I invoke tile prompt action of Congress to recognise the existence of
the war, and place at the disposition of the Executive the means of
prosecuting the war with vigour; and thus hasten the restoration of
peace. To this end I recommend that authority should. be given to
call into public service a large body of volunteers, to serve for not
less than six or twelve months, unless sooner discharged. A volun-
teer force is, beyond question, more efficient than any ether descrip-
tion of citizen soldiers; and it Is not to be doubted that a number far
beyond that required would 1 eadily rush to the field upon the call of
their country, I further recommend that a liberal provision be made
for sustaining our entire military force, acd furnishing it with sap-
plies and munitions of war.

" The most ene:getic and prompt measures, and the immediate
appearance in arms of a large and overpowering force, are recom-
mended to Congress as the most certain and efficient means of bring-
ing the existing collision with Mexico to a speedy and successful
termination.

"In making these recommendations, I deem it proper to declare'

that it is my anxious desire not only to terminate hostilities speedily,
but to bring all matters in dispute between this Government and
Alexico to an early and amicable adjustment; and in this view I
Shall be prepared, to renew negotiations whenever Mexico shall be
ready to receive propositions or to make propositions of her own.
" I tranzmit herewith a copy of the correspondence between our
Envoy to Mexico and the Mexican Minister fur Foreign Affairs; and
so much of the correspondence between that Envoy and the Secre-
tary of State, and between the Secretary at War and the General
in command on the Del Norte, as are necessary to a f',lll understand,

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, 7 P.M. —The editors of the Baltimore
Sun have received the following dispatch from their Washington cor-
respondent by telegraph, which contains items of verLal information
from Point Isabel of considerable interest. The following intelligence
received at Washington by the Southern Mail was transmitted to
Baltimore by telegraph, and thence by letter to this city by mall. I
have conversed with Mr. It. J. Ogdm, a sutler attached to the United
States army, who hvs this moment arrived in a southern boat. lie
left Point Isabel on the 28th ult. There were then about 3.50 men at
that port who could be depended on. The armament consisted of
two 18-pounders, nine 6-pounders, and every man had a musket. The
Point was surrounded by a ditch four feet deep and six wide. They
were digging to make it twelve feet wide and six deep. Point Isabel
was completely cut off from the army, having had no communication
for two days. The guides started from tha Point to the camp, but
were compelled to return,
The very latest advices left no doubt that General Taylor was com-
pletely surrounded. No danger is apprehended, however, to our
gallant hand, except ftom starvation, they being strongly entrenched.

Companies from Fort Pilee, H. F. T. Wood, under command of
Colonel B. K. Pierce, of Ist Artillery, and companies F. Infantry,
from Jefferson Barracks, were to leave N. C. on the Gth (Wednesday
wee'.:), and would probably reach Feint Isabel In 70 hours.
Captain Thornton and Lieutenant Mason were still missing, with
out any information as to their safety. Up to the evening the last
express left the camp there were no tidings of them then, and none
since.

The Propeller Florida was expected to be the next to reach New
Orleans. It is said that Governor Edwards of New Orleans arrived
here this evening direct from Mobile, and states that it is currently
reported, and believed there, that Point Isabel is captured.
PO3T3CRIPT.—We have the advlces to the 2d of May, and then
Point Isabel was safe, but the letter gives no further particulars. This
comprises :A of the slightest interest, with the exception of military
movements at the south, that has been received by the mail.

(From the New York Daily Tribune.)
The Nem Orleans Tropic of the 7th has Galveston dates to the 2d
by the Telegraph at that port. She left Galveston on Sunday, 3d
inst., at noon.

At 4r. 14. steam-ship New York about 50 miles from Galveston.
The Cirilian of the 2d says :—We understand the U. S. sehr. Flirt
was endeavouring to get over the bar into Brazos St. lago, in order
to co-operate mere effectually in the defence of the depot and posi-
tion at the mouth cf the river. Captain Symoton, of the Alert, was
assisting in the object, having taken off some of the Flirt's guns in
order to reduce her draught of water.
The steamer Monmouth left on Friday, the Ist instant, for Brazos
St. lago, with a number of volunteers for the army under General
Taylor. The short time of her stay was not sufficient for many,
who desired to go, to get ready, but others will doubil6s soon
follow.

General Johnson has just reached town. llc is a soldier in whom
our citizens have confidence as a leader, and can doubtless raise a
company or two in Galveston. I doubt not a general and immediate
turn out of the har.:y and experienced soldiers of Western Texas, to
be followed by the whole state as rapidly as the occasion which de-
mands their services shall become known.
General Taylor has not cried wool: until he has seen the aOtnal,
and those who go need not fear disappointment in findi,,g the wily
beast, as ample opportunity will doubtless present Itself to those who
desire to eo so, on the other fide of the Rio Grande if not on this.
