ANPUDIA,S PROCLAMATION

The following is the Proclamation alluded
10 in our Telesraphic Correspondence pub
shed in the Murnipg Edition. This Procla-
nation is said 10 have been extensively cir
culated in the Camp among General Tay lor' 5
Army.
The Commander-in- Chiefof The Merican
Army to the English and Irish under the or
ders Of The american General Taylor:
Know YE: That the Government of the
United States is committing repeated acts OF
barbarous aggression against the magnani-
nous Mexican Nation that The government
which exists under The flag of the stars is
unworthy of the designation of Christian.
RccUlect that you are born in Great Britain;
that the American Government looks with
colduess upon the powerful flag of ST George.
and is provoking to rupture the warllke peo-
pie TO whom it belongs. President Polk
boldly manilesting desire to take possession
of Oregon, as he has already done to Texas.
Now, then. come with all confidence to the
Mexican ranks, aud guarantee TO you. upon
my honor, good treatment. and that all your
expenses shall be betrayed until your arrival
in the beautiful capital of Mexico.
Germans Poles. French and other indi-
viduals of other Nations! Separate your
seIve from the Yankees and do not contrib
ute 10 robbery and usurpaiion which, be as
sured, the civilized nations of Europe look
upon with the utmost indignation Come.
therefore, and array yourselves under the tri-
colored flag, in the confidence that the God
Of Armies projects it, and that it will protect
you equally with the English.

inaginations Of those who look upon War al
synonymous with Glory, we cannot expect ''
be gamers, but inevitably and enormously
lossers in every sense, the entire destruction
ofour widely extended commerce being among
the smallest Of the items TO be taken INTO the
estimate.
But the lUss far more to be deplored than
the big hest aggregate Of all such losses, Is
that to which we find ourselves exposed by
this additional evidence of The feebleness oi
the Constitution of the United States, which
has already become mere dead letter when
ever il comes in conflict with Executive pow
er, or party purpose in Congress.
This is not the time, however, to pursue
with the requisite caImness the train OF
thought into which the events OF the tw" last
days are calculated to lead us. The MIS-
chief is Done: it will now and henceforward
be the business of all good men who still re-
tain an interest in public affairs TO unite their
counses and their efforts TO repair it. so far as
repair Of it he possible. and TO mitigate the
evils before US by every means yet IN their
power.-Ndt. InteAigencer.

WASHINGTON, May 10, lS46-Nlidnight
Gen WohTH who had resigned and came
home was sent back 10 the camp this NOR
ming and probably took out some further or
ders 10 General Taylor. His resignation, !
believe, never reached the Department here
Ii is said that had il arrived, it would have
hcen accepted. 1t is said that dispatches
have been in city several days, from Gen
Tay Tor loreshadowing whathas come To pass;
and yet Inc President delayed 10 communi-
cafe with Congress.
The bar room and other public places TO-
night were echoiny with the voices of bran
DIV and wafer Palrolisn,-s of the more
sober scarcely suppressed their mnlediclions
on The President for his treatment ofGen.
Taylor, while others seemed 10 blame The
conduct OF the General himself
Many think that The vote 10 make large ap-
preparations should be accompanied by The
Impeachment OF the President. Some mem
hers OF Congress say they will vote millions
10 carry on the War; if Polk. Dallas, and the
Cabinet and others who got us inioiEe scrapr
can oaly be made 10 90 and fight i'll the from
rank.
You will see by the proceedings in Con
gress yesterday, that several members OF The
Committee which was 10 impeach Mr.. Web
ter, have asked TO be excused, because the
House would not allow a clerk or on account
of sickness. These are but foolish excuses
by which 10 sneak out OF the hopeless and
despicahle task in which they are engaged.
There is a report that Gen. Houston o.
Texas is going home to take part in the war.
In this way he would probably DO US more
good than in any other capacity. But will
he go?
As TO the men required for service in Mex
ico, common soldiers, however well 6icipIin-
ed, are moi well suited 10 the kind of warfare
IN which the AnnexaIiohists have involved
ns. The chdpdrris, which you see mcRion-
