no THE EDITOR or THE UNION

A more libellous, or more scandalous attack upon
Texas and the general government was never made
than that contained in Ariel's letter to the New
York Herald, dated the lth instant, in which he
accuses the former Of having basely squandered the
whole public domain, and the latter OF Selling upon
Mexico and plundering her to pay the Texas debt.
The whole is false and malignant, and the author
knew if he knew any thing of what he was writing
about, that he was penning base falsehOod. The
public domain of Texas, east Of the Nueees, amounts
To upwards of one hundred millions Of aeTss-mOre
than sufficient TO pay four times the amount Of her
debit and the present intelligent and ncorrupuble
legislature have taken initiaory steps TO that il
is properly and honoraby paid. The governments
Of the United States and Texas know and under
stand this matter better than the correspondent Of
the Herald; and the people, | may say, are not apt
to believe such wholesale falsehoOds, especially
when emanaung from such a source.
The Rio del Norte was made the western bounda-
ry Of Louisiana at ia cession To the United States
and stone monument, i0ih iiUsr plate underi com
memoratiye of the event. is To be seen, desIgna
ting the northern and western boundary of Texas
establishing beyond cavll or dispute, what all our
croakers and debaters seem ignorant Of, or slow To
believe.
The article in the Herald have referred TO has
been extensively copied and ehuekisd at IN the oppo-
stion papers and deserves a more extensive notice
and a seyerer castigaton than at present am pre-
pared to give it; and hope the editor of the Union
will that the libel aud the libeller are both prop
erly dealt with.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas the President Of the United States, in
his proclamation Of the 18th instant, has announced
that by the acts of the republic Of Mexico, state
of war exists between that government and the Uni
ted States;
And whereas it is our first duty TO acknowledge
our dependence upon the Great Ruler of the uni
verse; do therefore, invoke the good people Of the
Common wealth, bythelr religion and their patriotism,
to submit as freemen should to this dispensation Of
Providence, and humby ask Of HIM, who alone
can give counsel and strength to sustain us in the
last resort of injured nations;
And whereas the President has been authorized
by Congress to call for and accept the services of
fifty thousand volunteer soldiers to protect and main
tain the honor and security Of the Union;
And whereas all the force that may be required
promptly and efficiently to conduct the war; and
bring it to speedy and successful termination,
should be in readiness to meet every contingency
that may occur in its progress;
And whereas the Union of the States binds to-
gether the separate sovereigntes, and secures one
common feeling and interest in which the people
Of Pennsy vanla largely participate;
The officers and soldiers of the Commonwealth
will, therefore, with that alacrity and zeal which
animate freemen, and for which they are dstin-
gushed, hold themselves in readiness promptly to
meet and repel the enemies of the republic and to
preserve the rights and honor, and secure the per-
petuity of the Union.
All persons who have charge of public arms, and
other munitions of war, are reminded by our exist
ing relations, that it is their imperative duty mme-
dately to prepare them for the public service.
And whereas the power Of the Union is made
effective for pro tectisn and defence, in all emergen-
cies, by the harmony and energy of the people of
each State: therefore
All the citizens Of the Commonwealth are ex-
horted TO be united, firm, and decided Gin preserv-
ing ORDER promoting concord, in maintaining the eff
cacy Of the laws, and in supporting and invigorang
all the measures which may be adopted by the con-
s,tuted authorities, for obtaining a speedy, just,
and honorable peace"
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
Commonwealth, at Harrisburg, this sixteenth day
of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and forty-six, and Of the Common
wealth tho SEVENTEEN.

Secretary ofthe Common wealth.

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

w. learn that dispatches were received this eve
ming from General Taylor, dated the Sd and 5th in
,,sDt-both Point Isabel, and the fort on the Rio
1 Grande, perfectly safe.
On the LIST, the defences on the river being made
strong, NEARLY completed General Taylor efl gar
rl,on of some 500 men, under Major Brown, OF the
7h infantry, and marched with the remainder OF his
! army (27 miles) to Point Isabel. Not an enemy
| was seen in the whole distance All apprehensions
for the safety Of that depot of supplies were thus
dissipated.
But on the morning 6 o'clock) of the Sd, the en-
emy, from the side Of MatamoruS, opened heavy
cannonade upon our fort, which lasted with but
little intermission ill midnight. In the meantime
the enemy's guns (all but one mortar) were ST.
lsncsd by our fort Major Brown lost one SER
geant killed and not another man wounded. Our
gallant little band expected an assault from this side
of the river at the same time, and was fully pre-
pared to repel it, None was made.
Matamoras was necessarily fired upon in the act
Of sleneing the enemys batteries, and also to Kill
or disperse the troops therein qusrtered. The
buildings were probably but little damaged. The
inhabitants, no doubt had mostly fed before the
commencement Of the cannonade. What number
Of Mexican troops were killed was only known by
conjecture: no doubt a considerable number
General Taylor, at Point Isabel, expected, on the
5th to march the next day with a heavy train Of
supplies for the fort the river and thence to as
sumo offensive operations against the Mexicans;
bu, private letter makes the probable conjecture
that General Arista had returned with his regulars
To the other side of the rver-leaying in the chap
paras only the rancheros-his irregular cavalry.
Il is not likely that he will reinvade Texas, as
General T. had received, expected to receive the
h instant several detachments Of troops (regulars
and irregulars) from New Orleans.
The affair with Capt. Walkers Texan rangers, as
was represented by rumor, was much exaggerated.
In the temporary absence Of that gallant and enter
prising officer his company lost, by surprise, but
handful Of rnen--8 or 10.
Captains Thornton and Hardee, and Lieutenant
Kane, all Of the I'd Dragons had arrived unhurt,
prisoners of war, at Matamoras, and reported them
selves to Gen Taylor, by letter, as kindly treated
In the cannonade Major Brown, Captain Mans
field Of the engineers, Captain Lowd, and the gar
rison were ell much distinguished. General Tay-
lor always writes coolly. His march, when he ex-
pected to meet 5000 Mexican horse, was a gallant
cn,srprise. The Mexicans have not probably had,
good and bad, 1900 troops on the lower Rio
Grande. &c., ----..---.-
