W sbington correspondent, dated three P.M. I can now
peak of the important news I sent last night. The 50,000
volunteers will be all called out, and 23,000 will be marchtd
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-date, and are nearly as fol-
lows:—lndiana, 3 regiments; Illinois, 33; Kentucky, 3;
Tennessee, 3; and some others. The residue of the 50,000
will be kept as a reserve. They will be mustered into the
service so as to be ready for orders in a moment. Mark
me, this will be a successful and short war." The reports

FROM MEXICO, VERA CRUZ, Br,
The brig Josephine, Captain Robinson, arrived. at Orleans on the Bth ult., with three days later news -VCeerwa 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 General Alvarez
had pronounced in the south, in favour of a federal repub-
lic, with a triumvirate meantime consisting of Generals Santa
Anna, Herrera, and Rincon.
The New Orleans Times says:—They seem to be expect-
ing war at Vera Cruz, but not making any. While the
mouth of the Rio del Norte is strictly blockaded by our fleet,
as is well known at Vera Cruz, our 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 1-repara-
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 orEered 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
Silvia, Gardner, from New Orleans, which had discharged,
and would sail for Havannah in four days.
In the Diario appears a letter from Canales 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 up
in front, or rather large ditches have been dug, the earth of
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!"

NEW ORLEANS, MAY 9.
Volunteering is proceeding here with all alacrity, bat 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 be 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 out 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 the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson.
They number 242 non-commissioned officers, musicians, and
privates. _

It appears that Louisiana's quota of soldiers called for by
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 BLANCHARD.—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 of►rds 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 thoAe 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.
