AMERICAN NEWS.

(Further extracts from the American Papers.)
PIIIT,ADELPHIA, ELEVEN O'CLOCK, P.M.—The American
has just received the following telegraphic dispatch from a
Washington correspondent, dated three P.M.:—" I can now
speak of the important news I sent last night. The 50,000
volunteers will be all called out, and 23,000 will be marched
into the field as soon as they can be concentrated. General
Scott will proceed to take command of the war. The requi-
sitions have been forwarded to-day, and are nearly as fol-
lows :—lndiana, 3 regiments ; Illinois, 33 ; Kentucky, 3 ;
thatn.le nothingthis vi

Tennessee, 3 ; and some others. The residue of the 50,000
will be kept as a reserve. They will be mustered into the

FROM MEXICO, VFRA CRUZ, &c.
bornlgthJeoBsethphuiniarrivedOrTleahens at New
days later news from Vera
Cruz, by which we learn that there had been no new revolu-
tion. The rumoured rising in favour of Santa Anna had not
taken place. A report was current that Gen
had pronounced in the south, in favour of a federalal Alvarez
repub-
lic, with a triumvirate meantime consisting of
irenerals Santa
Anna, Herrera, and Rincon.
The New Orleans Times says : They seem to be expect_
ing war at Vera Cruz, but not "makiug any. Whilehe
mouth of the Rio del Norte is strictly blockaded by our fleet,
as is well known at Vera Cruz, onr merchant vessels load at
the latter port, and bring off their cargoes unquestioned.
Persons who left Vera Cruz in the latter part of last month
represent the people of that city as quite prepared for a war
with the United States. The military force of the place was
daily increasing. The grand castle of San Juan d'Ulloa was
in admirable order of defence, well mounted, well provisioned,
the guns manned with French and English gunners, and the
whole force amounting to about 3,000 men.. The stores of
shot and ammunition of all kinds, though large, was still
from time to time added to, everything betokening prepara-
tion for siege. If all these statements be true, it would seem
that the Mexicans are determined to make one place at least
worth the trouble of taking.
The schooner William C. Preston, bound to Matamoros,
has returned with her cargo, having been ordered off by the
United States brig Lawrence, which maintains strictly the
blockade of that river.
The whole Mexican naval force was still up the Alvarado,
including the two steamers said to have been sold, either to
the Spanish Government, or to an English house.
The only American vessels of war at Sacraficios was the
John Adams; the others had gone to sea. There were also
an English, a French, and a Spanish vessel of war at anchor
there (names not recollected).
The English steamer Tweed was to sail for Havannah
the day after Capt. Roberts left (the 27th).
The only American merchant vessel in port was the
Suvia, Gardner, from New Orleans, which had discharged,
and would sail for Havannah in four days.
In the Diario appears a letter from Cankles to Ampudia,
of which we offer a few paragraphs, as precious specimens of
Mexican vanity. The letter is dated the sth April from
Matamoros :
" The United States army is encamped on the left bank of
the Rio Bravo. Slight fortifications have been thrown
in front, or rather large ditches have been dug, the earth up
which has been used for entrenchments.
" I have redoubled my efforts to attack the enemy morally,
and flatter myself that I have succeeded, for deserters are
daily swelling our ranks. I have thirty-five thus far; six
were drowned; &c.
" I have inspired such terror in the foe that they know not
what to do, convinced as they are that they cannot leave
their camp without heavy loss, and exposing themselves to
defeat.
" These few lines will enable you to appreciate the advan-
tages of a-prompt arrival, before Taylor has time to receive
reinforcements, and be enabled to make a vigorous resist-
ance. The triumph is certain to-day—to-morrow it must be
disputed. CANALES."
Another letter from Mejia declares " that General Taylor
is compelled to employ one-half his army in preventing the
other half from deserting 1"
NEW ORLEANS, MAY 9.
Volunteering is proceeding here with all alacrity, but there
is no clothing or arms ready for the men already offered. A
strange mismanagement of the War Department has been
permitted, else the want of equipment and the military stores
received here cannot he accounted for.
The Mexican force on this side of the Rio Grande is
3,ooo—half are above and half below General Taylor's camp.
Thus communication is effectually cut off until our volunteers
open it. Taylor is about oat of the regular provisions of the
army, but has 700 head of cattle in camp.
The New Orleans Delta, May 9, says that 954 soldiers,
rank and file, have received the amount of their bounty
money and one month's pay; that 186 men, rank and file,
now in barracks, will receive their pay to-day ; andthat 708
men, comprised in different companies, are now ready for in-
spection, and to be mustered into the service of the United
States. Including the latter, there are 1,848 men who may
be regarded as ready for service, up to last night. The com-
panies expected from the country, and those still forming in
the city, may make up the requisite number.
We take the following from a New Orleans paper of May
9 :—The steamer Hannibal arrived last night from St. Louis,
brought down from Jefferson barracks a portion of the Ist In-
fantry, under tha command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson.
They number 242 non-commissioned officers, musicians, and
privates.
It appears that Louisiana's quota or soldiers called for
General Taylor must be raised by conscription' and the order
has already gone forth from head-quarters at New Orleans,
to " cause an accurate enrolment to be made of all persons
subject to military duty within the state, with a view to an
immediate draft of troops." It seems from the following pa-
ragraph, which we clip from a New Orleans paper, that the
patriotism of some who had already enlisted " oozed out at
the ends of their fingers," or some other place, just as they
were on the point of embarkation for the " seat of war :"
" CAPTAIN BLARCHARD.—This gentleman, regularly edu-
cated in the Military Academy, and who served eleven years
in the army, has been actively engaged in raising a company
of volunteers, but when he thought he was ready yesterday,
more than one-half were found to have deserted his flag.
This is not creditable conduct, and is one among the many
instances which have occurred to show that a draft for
troops in the first place would have been much better. As
to Mr. Blanchard, there are few who have higher qualifica-
tions to lead a company into the field, and it affords us
pleasure to see such an old citizen and esteemed officer again
offer to take his sword in defence of the country. We really
hope that those who have volunteered under him, and others
wishing to volunteer, will come forward and behave as men
should do."
At Baltimore, a company of 200 men has been organised
for the Rio Grande. Captain J. E. Stewart has been chosen
temporarily to the command, and will probably be elected
Captain. Between sixty and seventy have enrolled them-
selves in Richmond, Va., and elected Edward Carrington as
their Captain.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of
businass.

THE KING OF THE FRENCH AND THE CORPORATION OF

LONDON. •
The LORD MAYOR read the following letter, which
he received from.- the King of the French, in answer to
the ardresses voted to his Majesty upon the occasion of
the late attempt upon his life.
Neuilly, May 16, 1846..

MY LORD MAYOR—I have to reinest your Lordship
to convey to the Court of Aldermen, and to the Court
of Common Council of the City of London, the deep
sense of gratification with which I acknowledge the
addresses they have voted to me on the occasion of the
late attempt upon my life. Impressed as I am, with
the importance so justly attached to the manifestations
of your great metropolis, I duly appreciate this signal
testimony both of their high esteem and friendly dis-
position towards my nation and countrii and of their
good will towards myself and my "family. The
many tokens of kindness and the hospitality
I have received among you, at various periods of my
long career, have left an indelible impression on my
mind and on my heart. I aml grateful to hear from you,
that you do justice to my constant and unceasing efforts
to promote the good understanding and friendly inter-
course between France and England. It is with the
sincerest satisfaction that I see the progress of this policy
spreading more and more, under the protection of
Divine Providence, its beneficial effects not only in both
our countries, but over all the world, where the advan-
tages of that pacific policy are daily better felt and more
justly appreciated. It is with the gracious concurrence
of my august friend and ally, your beloved Sovereign,
that I request your Lordship to convey this expression
of my feelings, not only in my own name, but also in the
name of the Queen and of all the members of my family,
to the Court of Aldermen and to the Common Council
of the City of London.
My Lord Mayor, your affectionate,
LOUIS PHILIPPE.
Alderman HtmrPnERY rose to move that the letter,
which reflected such honour on the heart and under-
standing of the King of the French, should be treated
.with signal marks of respect.—(Cheers.) It is a docu-
ment of the highest value, and he should propose that
after the Lord Mayor should have read it to the Court
of Common Council it be deposited in a box,
and placed in the library of the Corporation. lie
(Alderman Humphrey) had with great pride and grati-
fication witnessed, in the kingdom over which his
Majesty presided, the high respect and cordial feeling of
hospitality with which his Majesty received the members
of the Corporation who had had the honour of waiting
upon hina.—(Cheers.) It was impossible to hear the
fervent wish of his Majesty for the continuation of the
pacific relations of the world, without admiration of the
glorious terms in which that feeling was expressed, and
an anxious hope that his Majesty might long and happily
reign over the great people he so prosperously and
happily governed.—(Cheers.) Alderman Humphery
then submitted a motion to the effect described in his
speecb.—(Great applause.)
Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion. The exam-
ple set by the King of the French was one which was
indeed worthy of imitation. Rendering the most glo-
rious services to his own country by promoting the acts
of peace, that great monarch contributed largely to the
good of all mankind, by exhibiting the affectionate feel-
ing with which he contemplated the happy symptoms of
the continued existence of peace and good-will amongst
his fellow-creatures.---(Cheers.) The citizens of Lon-
don would be delighted with perusing a document,
which alluded in such terms of kindness and affection to
their own beloved Sovereign, who, as it were, sanctioned
and recommended his Majesty's most gracious acknow-
ledgment.—(Cheers.)
The motion was then unanimously, and amidst loud
acclamations, agreed to.
THE GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY AND THE SPECTACLE
MAKERS' COMPANY.

A gentleman, who was entitled to the freedom of the
Goldsmiths' Company, having applied to be allowed to
take his freedom up in the Spectacle-makers' Company
instead of the company in which he had the claim,
Alderman COPELAND rose to express his disapproba-
tion of such a course, and requested to be informed
whether the applicant had made any application for
admission to the Goldsmiths' Company ?—The appli-
cant replied in the negative.
Alderman COPELAND could not see that, possessing
the right which the applicant had to take up his freedom
in the Goldsmiths' Company,he was at all warranted in
coming to the Court in such a matter.
The applicant said, his reason for not wishing to
belong to the Goldsmiths' Company was, that there was
an insurmountable difficulty in obtaining it in that com-
pany, and he did not know any company more suitable
to his purpose.
SWORN AND UNSWORN BROKERS.

When the Court was occupied in the examination of
entlemen who appeared at the bar to be sworn in as

brokers, _
Alderman COPELAND took occasion to observe upon
the ineffectual efforts he had been for a length of time
in the habit of making, to prevent the commission of
fraud in the business transacted by brokers, and he ex-
pressed his regret that there appeared to be no chance
of making any reform by the interposition of that Court.
After a few observations from Alderman Wilson, Sir
Peter Laurie, Alderman Challis, and others, it was or-
dered, that with the view to the better protection of the
public, a list of the brokers sworn in by the Court of
Aldermen should be regularly transmitted to the Bank
of England.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEANEE
AND HYDERABAD MEDALS.
Ml:tow, MARCH 25.—The 24th being the anni-
versary of the battle of Hyderabad, was selected for the
distribution of the medals granted to the 25th Bombay
Native Infantry for the battles of Meanee and Hydera-
bad. The whole brigade were drawn out in review order
at 5 P.M., and a large assembly of the beauty and fashion
were collected around the flag. The Resident at Indore,
Mr. R. N. C. Hamilton, having been requested to dis-
tribute the medals, arrived on the ground at the ap-
pointed hour, attended by his escort and suite ; on his
approach a salute was fired, and the line presented arms ;
after passing down the line, the troops were formed into
columns and closed up. The Resident then advancing
addressed them in an animated speech, of which the fol-
lowing is, we believe, a pretty correct copy:—
" Lieutenant-Colonel Woodburn, officers and non-
commissionod officers and privates of the 25th Bombay
N.l.,—when I was invited to be present upon this
occasion, I little expected that I should be other than
a mere spectator of a most interesting scene, bnt when
I was asked to take a part in it I felt that a high distinc-
tion had been conferred upon me in making me the in-
strument by which the decorations granted by the
Supreme Government to this gallant regiment should
be distributed. I feel my
.own inability to express my-
self upon such an occasion, but I have the satis-
faction of knowing that no words of mine could
add to the high eulogiums already passed upon the
events of which this day is an anniversary. Your
gallant deeds have been ably set forth by the distin-
guished General by whom you were so nobly led,
by the Government you have so, bravely served--
and the most pre-eminent:of all distinctions is it—in both
Houses of Parliament, by whose unanimous votes their
thanks were given to the brave offieers and men en- 1
gaged in the battles of Meanee and Hyderabad. This
is an anniversary of which you may well be proud !
Soldiers of the 25th, your gallant bearing in these
eventful fights is inscribed in one of the brightest pages

courage, the devotion, the discipline of the native
troops in those battle fields, exalted, if possible, the
already high character of the Indian Sepoy. The
resolute valour with which you were opposed could
not check your onward
_progress—it was a mortal
strife—but, under the guidance of Providence, your
indomitable bravery carried out the admirable disposi-
tions of your illustrious General—the victory was
gained ! You vanished an almost countless enemy,
brave in their own hearts, confident in themselves, des •

onslaught—the victory was complete. Decorations
