FALSE RUMOR.
.9merican Consul at .Mntamoro

oamertcdn consul at uHGtdmOrds.
The following official letter has been received
in this city, dated
New ORLEANS, March H.
&c addressed you yesterday, Informing YOU of
the imprisonment of j. p. Schatzell, ESD, our
worthy consul at Malamoras. | am now happy
to say that | have letter dated the 10Th inst,
from him, conradctng the report He saws
that such rumor had been in circulation, and
several vessels had hurried off, anticipating trou-
ble-of which he is happy to say there is no
prospect. Mr. Schatzell says, no information in
regard to Mr.. Slidel's movements
"P. s. In relation to another letter from MIR.
Schatzel, OF an older date than the above alluded
to, of the 2Sth February, he says, it is rumor-
ed that Mr.. Slide has been invited back from
Jalapa by the government. Things are drawing
TO crisis"
BY THIS EVENINGS SOUTHERN MAIL
The New Orleans papers received this evening
confirm the truth of the above letter. We give
extracts from them.
From the N o. Picayune, March Is.
FROM MATAMoRAs.-The schooner Equity,
Captain Place, arrived here yesterday from Nlata-
moras. Captain Place contradicts the report
which the press gave yesterday morning, of the
Imprisonment of Mr.. Schatzel, the United States
Consul at that port. Captain Place had con-
versation with Mr.. Schatzel on the night of
Tuesday, the 10th instant, who told him that
such rumor had been current in the city, and
that 1t was utterly unfounded. The Equity sail
ed in the course of the same night.
We received no papers by this arrival, but
letters were received by her. One from Mr..
Schaizel particularly alludes to the above report
and states that the whole was an idle hoax, by
which many there had been deceived
There were various and contradictory rumors
In Maamoras in regard to Mr.. Slide The
most important was TO the effect that he had been
invited from Jalapa to Mexico; but our Consul
put little faith in this. One letter dated Feb
ruary 18th, states, positive, that Mr.. Slidell had
been received, but another from different source
throws dIscredit upon this. 1t is quite probable
that later news from MIR. Slidel had been recev-
ed at Matamoras. Our last accounts left him at
Jalapa on the 2lst of February. We regret that
we cannot clear the matter up
There was only the usual force at Matamoras
when the Equity sailed-from twelve TO fifteen
hundred men. Captain Place reports that all
was quiet there.
The United States brig of war Porpoise touched
at the mouth of the Rio Grande the night of the
9Th inst, bound for Arkansas Two of her off
GERS boarded the Equity, but remained only few
moments. She bore away the morning of the
10Th for her destination. Our last advces from
Vera Cruz led us to suppose that the Porpoise
would shortly sail thence, but, we expected
for Pensacola. If Arkansas was her destination
1t indicates cooperation with Gen. Taylor's
force, for which we had not been altogether pre-
prepared

REPUBLICAN INDICATIONS.

We had almost began to despair of the Repub

the officers of the Navy entirely but from present
indications, we believe that civilians will gain the

that scurriious, abusive pamphlet, which smells
strongly of the Naval Shop" has been publish
ed, and is being scattered broadcast over the
land, in order to bring the Secretary of the Navy
into dsrepute. We have received one of them
ourself, and learn that many others are about we
heard one Of them being read on the corner of the
street on Thursday, to crowd This is favor
able indication, and we now advise our mechanic
friends to suspend their opinions, and be ready to
sustain their Secretary against this war with the
Old Fegies,'' as it will tend to place them in
their proper position.
Rumor, well sustained, is in our possession that
one of these officers, in the Bureaus in Washing
ton, Presuming upon his life estate office, has
dared to insult the Secretary most grossly, which,
If but 1.-THE of it had been done on ship board
would have been pronounced mutiny, and cost
the bold presumer his life. This but goes to
prove the position we have always maintained,
that the Departments at Washington is no place
for the Frbitrary and tyranncal officers of the
Navy; and we now. tell the Secretary of the Ma
Wy, that if he yields one hair he is lost-lost for
ever! But let him stand firm and chastise the
impudent contumacy Of every officer, who dares to
insult the peoples agents in the Government, and
ne will be sustained by mighty host, in every
part of the land.

relative TO the foreign intrigues disclosed by a
package OF papers, the possession of which caused
so many attempts upon his life recently in various

Payne, published on Saturday, an article com
menting on the Madrid Herad's views of the pro-
posed manarchy in Mexico. The French Court

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
WASHINGTON, March 25.


The Presidents message is the theme of much
remark, ana VIII, perhaps, tend to Increase the
apprehenslons of war entertained in the country
1t is mistake TO suppose that the message " com
mnnlcates no circumstances not known before to
the public" 1t was not known before to the pub
lie that the President had himself mentioned GER
tain estimates and recommendations for an in
crease OF the army and navy, Oh Doth December
and 9Th of January last. 1t was not known before
TO the public that the President with his usual
prudence, made those communications confidential
1t was not known before that the Presidents
views had undergone no change since the annual
message was transmitted. for Mr.. Calhoun and
Mr. Haywood had declared that his position had
been changed. 1t was not known that he had re-
commended additional preparations beyond those
suggested in the annual message.

bill is to be called up soon TO authorize the
President 10 accept the services of - mum
Der of volunteers. This was privately recon-
mended by the President, on the Doth December.
He prefers it, in case of invasion, to making re-
qusltions on the States, which occasioned so much
difficulty in the late war.
II was not known that the President had no
negotiation on foot with the British government
either here or in England, and that he had nc
special reason TO expect any immediate overture
from Great Britain, yet this inference is necessa-
rlly to be drawn from the message.
The President, as we may now safely infer, is
for Az, and will compromise upon it, but does moi
expect TO have a choice to do it. 1t appears that
