. Like the Canadian revolution. The struggle
NhM proved aboriiye. Says a writer in Bick.
nelIs Reporter of May 9Th: Ii appears TO be
conceded on all hands, that the outbreak was
premature ard not sufficiently maiured and or
ganized. The effort was desperate one, and
many Of the hands engaged in il, were those
of as brave and patriotic spirits as ever breath
ed the breath Of life. The cause TOO, tina. Of
liberty, nationality, home, friend and families

among human objects. Bot the Poles. 10 be
successful, must war with effect, not only
against Russia. Prussia and Austria, bu,
sgains, the interests and the influences Of the
other monarchical governments Of Europe.
Nevertheless. masses Of the people, not only
in England and France but elsewhere, have
sympathized keenly and deeply with The Poles,
and have testified this sympathy, not only at
public meetings. but by contributing in liber-
oil spirit. Mr.. Walsh, 10 one Of his letters for
the National Intelligencer, gives an interest.
ing account Of some Of the striking movements
OF this demonstration. He states that at the
first outbreak, the old Lafayette Polish Com

Prescription Of Point isabel.

We learn by the Corpus Christi Gazette
that Point Isabel is high bluff of land. pro-
Iiecling about one quarter Of a mile into The
I.apuna del Madre, and about three and half
miles north Of ives, from Barra del Santiago,
the principal entrance from the Gulf, at the
lower extremity. of Isle del Padre. The
scarcity of wood and water at this place, rem
ders the encampment of large force wholly
Iimpraciicable. We are Informed that the
main body of Gen. faylor's army are now
forming an encampment about twelve miles 10
a souihwesierly direction from Point Isabel, on
the Rio Grande. Here the land is high open
prairie, with plenty Of water from the river,
and sufficiency of wood upon IFS banks, at
no distance from the camp. This place is
easily susceptible of being entrenched and
fortified, and no time will be lost 10 making il
Iimpregnable, at least against the assaults of
tho Mexican army.
From the Borita ferry or crossing, 10 Mata-
moros, is sixteen or eighteen miles, and from
the former place to Point Isabel, about twelve
miles. The provisions for grea, part Of the
army, and all the forage and corn for the horses
and mules, must be carted over this distance.
Whether the American army will be suffered
TO maintain these or any other positions upon
the Rio Grande, without something stronger
than diplomatic remonstrance, covering over
two sides of sheet of foolscap, from the
Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs, time
alone can determine. There are now but two
chances of annoyance to General Taylor. -
The one is a pitched battle fer the purpose of
lexpelling him from the Rio Grande, and the
other stealing bis mules and horses and har-
RAISING his army in camp. and parties, detached
for wood and forage. We apprehend should
this system of tactics be commenced, i. would
ve!y soon arrive at a termination.

Thescity Of lafamoros.- Matamoros is an
old Spanish city containing about 1000 inhab-
itauts, and is beautifully situated on the south
ern bank Of the Rio Graude, within its folds,
SO that its front and rear are both on the river.
Seen from the American side, il has every APP
pearanee of being an American town. The
streets intersect each other a. right angles, and
appear to be lined with every variety of shade
trees, which give the town an air of GOODNESS
and render lis appearance very inviting. Many
of the buildings are built Of brick, and in the
modern style Of architecture. The cathedral,
market and buildings occupied by the military
are among the finest The dwellings of the
poorer classes are constructed of canes, brush,
mud, and the like materials, and are essential
ly Mexican. The city has several fortifca-
lions armed with guns Of differen, caibre. and
a force Of FIVE or six hundred men is kept
there constantly.
