that, in New Orleans William Debnys, Esq !,
who recently held the rank OF Major Genera +,

That the war will be mos: vigorously prose-
cuted no one can doubt. We have torborne long
enough. We have been covered with insults,
ndignities and outrages. Such peace as We
had with Mexico was utterly deusive. Il was
quasi-war, and uncertainty, embarrassment
and gloom hung over our Southern frontier.
1t was time that the affair should be broush,
to head. Mexico capped the climax OF mad
ness By killing our own citizens or our own
soil, and W. are called upon TO punish Ter inso-
lence, and by ore blow TO settle all our COM
plants against her. This is no war OF cupidily

RICHMOND MANUFACTURED STEEL
We have received sample Of STEEL (made
OF Botelouri, Virginia, iron, from Viewers
works,) of beautiful texture, exhibiting in its
fracture that "conchoidal cleavage" las il is
technically caled,) which mechanics observe
as the unerring evidence of compac'ness OF fibre,
elasticity and strength. In these particulars, il
seems 10 our inexperienced eye, after COMPARE
son with MAYORS English steel, that the imported
article is moi superior. We learn that several OF
our best mechanics have put the Richmond steel
TO the highest lest, and approve its quality.
Ii is manufactured by the Broadmeadow Com
pany, under the superintendence OF Mr.. Simeon
Broadmeadow, al their works in this city, which
we are gralifed 10 learn arc now nearly compile
led. They have forwarded some tools made OF
their STEEL as we'll as parcel OF the steel itself,
for exhibition at Washington.

IMPORTANT FROM THE PACIFIC,

The steamer Mississippi arrived at Pensacola thu
evening of June 4th, in FIVE days from Vera Cruz
having on board John PARROT, esq, the U, s. con
sui at Mazatlan, and surgeon VIM M. Wood, 'o
the U. S. navy. These gentlemen left Mazatlar
on the Both April, and crossed Mexico in safety.
All was quiet at Monterey, in California, on the
2lst April. At Guadalaxara, Mr.. Parrott and DR.
Wood sent to Commodore sloat an express announ
cling the commencement Of the war with Mexico
The intelligence probably reached the commodore
on the l7th Of May, when he doubtless proceeded
To execute the orders which he had received with
reference TO such contingency. News was also
seasondbly forwarded to him Of the blockade Of the
Mexican ports on the Gulf of Mexico. Our squad
ron in the Pacific was generally in good health
The Constitution, her crew having become very
much enfeebled in the East Indies, and suffering
from diseases contracted there sailed for Boston via
Valparaiso on the 22d April. The Congress wss
daily expected at Mszatan. The Columbus and
Vincennes are both under orders to the Pacific
squadron; and the Saratoga and Dale have sailed Tor
the same destination. The armed store-shp Lex
inston destined also for the Pacific will be ready for
sea in few days
The beliefis generally entertained at Vera Cruz
that the government of Paroles must soon fall.
Upwards Of twenty gentlemen of influence belong
ing to the federal party, amongst whom were Go
mez Farias, and Faqueros, were arrested and
thrown into prison about the 18th ult.
The John Adams sailed from Pensacola on the
5th inst, and was followed in day or two by the

PEACE WITH THE INprANs.--The New Orleans
Tropic, in noticing the arrival Of Col. NJ G. Lewis,
and forty-one Indian chiefs from the Cumanche and
other Indian tribes, says:
This is very important arrival, as peace with
thirteen Indian tribes bordering on Texas is now
guarantieN The treaties with all these have been
made by Colonel Lewis, in connection with Judge
Butler, Of South Carolina, and the delegations are
taken to Washington, both with the purpose of hav-
ing the treaties ratified, and to acquaint these men
of the wilds' with the extent of country and the
number of its inhabitants; which subjects they
have at present very obscure IDEAS They represent
at least fifty thousand souls all Of whom will be
peaceful at least during the absence Of their chiefs,
and we hope for all time to come
"The various tribes represented are the Cumanche,
Japan, Toc-ke-wuy, Waco, Wichata, To-wack-a-

We recently noticed communication in the "New
York Evening Post" which the" National Intelli.
gencer" employed for the purpose of throwing wet
blanket on the vigorous prosecution Of the Mexican
war. The same paper has republished another COM
municaton through the same paper for similar pur-
pose. We noticed the circumstance with the ex-
preston of our regret that so able and distinguished
paper as the New York Evening Post should thus
furnish weapons for the use of the opposition. The
"Post" comes back to US with the expression Of its
surprise that either the "Nationa Intelgencer'' or
the Union" should hold it responsible for the opin-
ions of its correspondents We are happy to find
that its editor does not endorse the eccentric and par
alyzing opinion of its correspondent.

INTERESTING LECTURE on the Gus


i toms and eccentrcities of the Turks,
dication Of their character.
"If you desire to know people, you must live
with em."-Rep. DR.. Siaughton.
The undersigned respectfully informs the ladies'
and gentlemen, whose presence at his last lecture
was prevented by the unpleasant state of the wealth
err and who have requested that the lecture NAV be
repeated that Ia sort Of interregnum in the success
sion of amusements that have crowded on us of
late being apparently about to take place. the re-
ouest will be complied with on the evenings of
Monday and Tuesday next, the 18th and 10th in
slant at the Apollo Hall, opposite to the interest
inn ruins Of the National Theatre.
The undersigned feels the more inclined again To
assume the turban as it will afford him an opportuni-
tv of "doing himself right" with his friends the
Turks, a statement having gone abroad which gives
him the appearance of being preudiced against that
perple, when the very reverse is the fact.
Il has been suggested that lectures, the most
eloquent (curain and Caudle) ones, require some
thing more exciting than a Turkish love sonnet
(Which, of course, smells of opium) to keep some
people awake under their infection; to effect which,
the aid of celebrated professor Of music will be
invoked on the coming occasion. To the lecture,
thus rendered more palaable, the highly respectable
company of ladies' and gentlemen who honored the
former with their patient attention ia most re-
spectfuly invited; also all persons who take an in
terest in the vindrcation of the Turkish character
and (still more) those who do not.
For particulars Of music, costumes, curiosities,
&C. see programme.
II is expected that the lecture will be honored
with the presence Of the American consul for Con-
stantnople, and with that Of a gentleman who is a
native Of Turkey; also Of gentleman who lately
ranked high in the government Of Texas; all Of
whom Witnessed the fact Of the undersigned pass
ing for Turk in the city Just mentioned.
To meet expenditures, IS cents will be charged
for tcketg To be obtained only at the door.
