either one party or the other claiming { local
supremacy.
The Diario of the 9th and 18TH hints that
the lamented Colonel Cross came TO his death
by the hands of a Mexican aborer. Il AYERS
that the colonel was in the habit of visiting the
aborer's hut, where he paid very gnifcant
attentions to the latters wife. The latter
found it necessary, adds the DiGio, to throw
the Colonel into the river with 4 weight at
tached, so as to make him sink to the bottom
The Mexican then crossed the river with his
wife, and took the watch, arms, and other trim
kets belonging to the Colonel We give this
for what 1t is worth, without placing the slight
est reliance ON its voracity. zg szSt F.
AS proof of the discipline and manner in
which the Mexican soldiers are treated by thor
officers, we will mention the case of a soldier
named Pablo Garcia, who for some dcrelicliOn
of duty, was most cruelty whipped and then
sent to dungeon under ground, where from
the nature ofhs wounds, gangrened in the abb
sence of medical care, he died in SIX days af-
forwards. His body was in such manged
state that he died on his knees not being able
to lie down.
We have been permitted to make the follow
ing extract from letter received by highly
respectable Mexican house in this city.
VERA CRUz, May 10, lS4G.
circular has been issued by
the government, stating that all the American
consuls cease Immediately from being recognis-
ed, and ordering all American citizens to en-
bark or retire into the interior within eight days
The U. S. Steamer Mississippi yesterday or
dered off a vessel from the port, but she came
in during the night; thus proving the port to be
blockaded, at least to national vessels-a step
which has materially compromised the Ameri-
can vessels in the harbor, and we are very
much afraid that we shall not be allowed to
despatch the Th@tus.
The government is making every effort to
carry out the war with success, and has re-
pIenlshed the treasury by carrying through
some very strong measures. The Castle of
San Juan de Ulua and this city are in bril-
liant state OF defence, and would require very
strong force to be sent if an attack were medi-
taled,

MEXICAN GASCONADE, &c.
By the arrival ofthe barque Theatus, Capt

have advces from Vera Cruz to the Goth ult.,
and from the city of Mexico to the 18th, being
Is days later The intelligence is highly inn
portant. We make up the following summary
from the Pcayune and Delta:
We learn that the u. S. steamship MISSISSIPPI
pi arrived off Vera Cruz on the 18th, bringing
the intelligence Of the glorious battles of the
Sth and 9th inst, but very wisely the news was
only communicated to few Americans in the
city. The port was Immediately blockaded by
the Mississippi and the Falmouth.
The I. was boarded by the U. S. ship Fall
mouth and took letter bag from her. Tho
brig st. Petersburg sailed on the 18th for New
York.
Orders we're received by the American citi-
zens from the city of Mexico, directing them to
leave Vera Cruz by the cath inst, or retire into
the interior. 1t was expected that our consul
would go on board one of our vessels. On the
10Th an American vessel approached the port
and was Immediately boarded by our officers
and forbidden to enter the port. In the night,
however, she succeeded in slipping into port
| There were two American vessels in port when

their cargoes, but under the order from the Mi
mister General of War and Marine, transa-

badly be seized. From all we can gather the
Government is making the greatest exertions,
strainng every nerve to carry on the war with
the utmost vigor, and by the most arbitrary
measures had replenished the treasury.
The Castle of San Juan de Ulua, as ou1 last
accounts state, was in perfect state obedience,
and the officers in command were confident oil
being able to repel an attack. They will shortly
have an opportunity of displaying their skill in
gunnery and forming an intimate acquaintance
with our naval force. The contractor of sup
: plies for the American squadron had been placed
under arrest by the authorities
The MeXcans were IN high glee at the va

The VoLu NTEERs.-The latest news from
the Volunteers will be found under ano-
Their head. We notice that the Pontotoc
company passed Holly Springs on Thurs
day evening, and probably reached Vicks-
burg Sunday night or Monday morning, by
which time we suppose the regiment was
complete. We have seen nothing definite
as to the destination of our boys. One ru-
NOR is that they are to be stationed on the
Indian frontier, to keep the Indians in
check; another, the most probable, and
certainly the most desirable, that they are
to proceed Immediately to the Rio Grande.

IMPORTANT To VoTUNTEERs.-The Com
miuee on Military affairs introduced bill
in the Senate the provisions Of which are
as follows:
1t authorizes the appointment Of two
Maidr generals, and -four Brigadier gene
rails in addition TO The present army estab-
liShment.
1t authorizes the President to call into
the service such of the general officers Of
the Militia, as he may think the service de-
mands.
1t fixes the field and staff officers of each
Battalion of Volunteers under the late act
as follows: One Lieutenant Colonel or
Major; one Adlutant, with the rank of
Lieutenant one Sergeant Major; one
Quarter Master Sergeant; one Chief Bu-
gler or Musician.
1t limits the number Of pryates in a
company from ga TO 100; and gives each
company an additional second Lieutenant.
1t authorizes the President to appoint if
he thinks necessary, one Qlartermaster
and one Commissary for each Brigade, with
the rank of Major, and one Assistant
Quartermasler, with the rank of captain ;
one assistant Commissary with the rank
of Captain; one Surgeon, and one assist
ant Surgeon, for each Regiment, with the
pay appropriate to their rank.
1t limits the promotions in the Quarter
masters Department to the rank of Major
to Captains of Companies and provides
that no officer shall hold a commission liz
the staff and In the line at the same time.
it provides that aid-de-camps to the Mai.
General commanding, and other general
officers may be taken from the line with

FROM MExICo--The bark Louisiana
Capt. WILLIAMS, arrived on the Sd, from
Vera Cruz, which place she left on the
18th ult..
The new minister Of Finance seems TO
be intent on providing means TO carry on
the war with the United States. He has
issued DEGREES ordaining that for one year
from the lst inst. a deduction Of one fourth
shall be made from the salaries Of public
officers and from pensions, the following
being excepted from deduction: military
men IN active service, persons attached 20
the military bureaus, revenue officers and
persons whose incomes from the Treasury
do not exceed three hundred dollars a wear.
1t is also ordained that the several depart
ments shall pay at the expiration Of every
month into the Treasury the sum Of 10000
dollars until the war is closed.
Capt. WILLIAMS reports that our sq1d-
ron commenced the blockade on the both
ult. Fifteen days were allowed 10 all neu-
trail vessels in port 10 load aud depart
The day the Louisiana sailed, iuiJrma-
ton reached Vera Cruz that Mlzatlln and
Topic had pronounced in favor OF GES.
/ SANTA ANNA. Gen. ALVAREZ in the
South is also said to be at the head OF a
large force against the government. 1t
was reported that Paroles Intended leav-
ing Mexico to reinforce the army at The
/ North.
The American'Consul intended to en-
| bark on the Goth, on the U. s. steamer
| Mississippi, that vessel being at anchor of
Vera Cruz, together with the u. ). frigate
Rarilan and sloop Falmouth. The Helen
Mcleod, for this port sailed in company
with the brig. They left IN haste fearing
to be seized as prizes of war. Great aui
mostly existed against the Americans, par
tcularIy since the defeat of the Mexicans
at Matamoras was known.
| No American vessel remained in port.
We hear nothing more Of the vessel said
10 have run the blockade on the night OF

OFFICERS OF THE VOLUNTEER REGI-
MENr. "A correspondent of the Wing, IN
yesterdays paper hit the nail on the head
in the suggestion that the volunteer COM
panies should elect all their officers from
their own ranks. live are not mistaken,
the laws of our Stale require this at any
rate; and it would indeed be an anomaly
in our elections for man, not a member
his district or beat TO be elected to COM
mand it. We believe as good material
for command can be found among our vo-
lunteers rs any where else, and we GER
tainly have no desire to see those whose
self conceit had induced them to hold back
or stick up for high offices, now be promot-
ed over the brave and disinterested fellows
that are willing in any capacity TO obey
the call of their country. Unless they
choose to put themselves under the CON-
mand of tried and regular soldier, such
as our Representative, Maj. Davis, we
certainly hope that the boys will select all
their officers from their own body. Sent.

OPERATIONS ON THE PACIFIC. The
Washington correspondent OF the N. Y.

23d ult., writes: "The government has Ia

News by the Great Britain.

The Great Britain arrived at New York
on the LIST, having left Liverpool on the
9th May.
The passage of the Oregon notice had
been received in England by the way u
Havre. OF course no action OF the BrI-
fish government on the question, had trans
pred; but the tone OF the London press
the Times, Morning Chronicle, and the
Globe-is exceedingly moderate, tame and
peaceful.
The reception of the Oregon nonce had
caused the money market to be slightly
influenced, and unfavorably.
Cotton has gone up an eighth OF a pen
ny, but speculation was al a low ebb, and
sales on the 18th only 5000 bales.
The battle between The free-traderS anC
the Protectonists was still going on ~
Parliament. No mention is made OF the
progress of the corn bill.
The accounts from the manufacturing
districts are not encouraging.
The general news from The continent
is destitute o. interest.
lRELAND.-The accounts from various
parts of Ireland, as to the wants of The
