MILITARY ARRANGEMENTS The Union o
Saturday makes the following remarks-proba.
Ibly by authority-with regard 10 the military
movements to be made by Government
During the week the most active prepara-
tions have been made to give effect to the mea
SureS of Congress for vigorous prosecution
of the war with Mexico. From the mixed
character of the corps-parly of regular troops
and more largely fvolunteers--it seems natur
al that the general-in-chief of the army should
lake the feld.-and we presume that General
Scott will, as a matter of course, assume the
command.
We understand that the volunteer troops 10
he Immediately called INTO service will be TAX
en- rom the States nearest to the scene of ope-
rations, and for them the necessary orders have
been issued. Measures have also been taken
TO have the residue of the authorized force or.
ganized, to be called into the service of their
country at The shortest notice, if the public exi.
gcnces require. We understand that portions
will be called for from each State and Territory
SO that an opportunity will be afforded to all
her gallant sons 10 participate in the defence Of
their country.

FROM HAVANA.

| Havana papers to the 10Th inst have been
received at Boston. The Diaro of the 9Th
gives extracts from the Diario Official of Mex.
leo 10 April 25. II is stated that the Minister Of
War received news from Maiamoras TO the 18Th,
which was quite satisfactory. The division of
Gen. Ampudia was within Two days march of
the city, and it was hoped that Gen. Arisia
would shortly take the command
II is stated that Gen. Taylor, under date Of
April l. had demanded that two dragons had
been taken prisoners by the Mexican troops
should be given up 10 which demand Gen.
NeJla had replied that without acknowledging
the right oflh American General D make the
demand, he had determined that the dragons
with their arms and horses should return TO his
camp.
Gen Meiia had stated in letter. dated April
s, that since the 2sth of March, 2G soldiers from
The American troops had joined his ranks.
The Dlario contains an extract from mani
iesto of Gen. Paredes, The President of The
Mexican Republic.
lie says that at the same time that Mr.. Sill
dell presented himself the troops of the United
States occupied the Mexican territory, their
squadrons menaced her ports and were prepar-
ing for the occupation Of the peninsula of the
ICalifornias, TO which the question Of the Ore
gon with England was only preliminary. lie
did not receive Mr.. Sidell, because the dignity
of the nation resented this new insult.
| lie goes on to state the movement of the A.
merican Army from Corpus Christi to Point
Isabel, the occupation of The bank of the Rio
Bravo del Nore in front of the city of Mata-
moras, the blockadng the river by ships of
war, The surprising of the town of Laredo by
party oftroops, and the disarmng of piquet
who had discovered them. lie insists that hos
tities by these acts having been commenced by
the troops of the United States, that there
can be no doubt on which Of the two republics
will fall the responsibility Of commencing the
| war
II He concludes by declaring 4 announce SOL
cmnly that do not decree war against the Gov
crnment Of the United States of America, be-
cause TO the august Congress of the nation and
not TO the Executive, belongs but 20 resolve de-
liniively upon the reparaion which such often
ces demand. But the defence of the Mexican
territory, which the troops of the United States
have invaded is an urgent necessity, and my
responsibility would be immense before the ma
ton, did not order the forces which are acting
as those of an enemy TO be resisted and have
commanded it. From this day defensive war
commences, and all points Of our territory
which are invaded or attacked, are TO be de-
endedby force

The correspondent, Of the New York Com.
mcrcial Advertiser says" General Scott has,
to my certain knowledge, denied in conver-
sation, that he was consulted on the subject
of the removal of the army from Corpus
Christi to their position on the Rio Grande
lie says he did not approve Of the removal.
This is important, inasmuch ss ii has been
attempted to relieve the President from the
responsibility Of so injudicious and unnes
cessary an act, the consequence Of which was
| the proyOcatiOn of war.

From the National Intelli.encer,

WAR WITH Mexico DECLARED Our read
ers will learn, nine-tenths OF them with we II
founded alarm and dismay, that the Congress
Of the United States have adopted the war
with the Republic of Mexico, IN which the
President has, without their consent or au.
thorIty, involved the country and that all the
best interests of this people are stakcd upon
the hazard Of the die. We do not mean, OF
course, the hazard of fierce and bloody war
with Mexico, though that will, in all proba-
bility, be found to be no chds play but the
imminent hazard Of bringing on a general
war, by which, even in the heated magma
ton Of those who look upon war as synony-
nous with glory, we cannot expect to be
gamers, but inevitably and enormously losers
in every sense. the entire destruction of our
widely extended commerce, being among The
smallest OF the items to be taken into the cs-
innate.
But The loss far more to be dcplored than
the highest aggregate of all such losses, is
that 10 which we find ourselves exposed by
this additional evidence Of the feebleness OF
the Constitution Of the United States which
has already become mere dead letter, when
ever it comes in conflict with Executive pow
er, or party purpose in Congress.
This is no, the time, however, TO pursue
with the requisite calmncss the train oI
thought into which the events Of the two lasI
days are calculated TO lead us.
The mischief is done il will now and
,hencelorw0rd be the business of all goot
mon. who still retain an interest in public
affairs, to unite their counsels and their cf
forts to repalrit, so far as repair Of it be pos
sibe, and to mitigate the evils before US by
every means yet in their power.
A large proportion OF those members o
both Houses Of Congress who voted for The
Declaration of War, did so under an idea
wholly erroneous, in our opinion-,hat, tho
unnecessary to measures Of defence, the de
clarston only procloims fact. They locke,
only to the provision Of men and money 10 re
pei invasion, which, separated from the fa,n
power now given TO the President, would not
probably, have received o single Degativ,
vote. Too late they will find their error; ant
we shall live to see the day when they vii
deeply regtc, having suffered themselves Il
be deluded or Influenced IN the manner il
which they have been.

"BLooDLE. AcmEvEMEsr." When we
published tho inaugural message of the Pres''
dent in December last, we said that although
IL had satisfied much curiosity, il had not DIS
-ipated all anxiety with regard to the Pub''r
affairs. That that anxiety was not satisfied
was not for the want Of sufficient assurances
that all would go on safely under the new gov
ern,usnt, but from the fear that "deslre outrun
performance" in the message, which the re-
snlt seems to prove. Who can now read with
ont smile the following passage OF that docu'
meni with regard To Texas
"This accession to our territory has been a
boodiess achievement. No arm oi force has
been raised to produce the result, The sword
has had no part N the victory. We have not
sought To extend our territorial possessions by
conquest, or our republican institutions over a
reluctant people. II was the deliberate homage
of each people to the great principle OF our
federaiive union. II we consider the extent OF
territory involved in the annexation-its pro-
spectiye influence on America-ihe means by
which il has been accomplished, springing
purely from the choice of the people themselves
to share the blessings of our union,-the his
tory of the world may be challenged to furnish
parallel"
This "bloodless achievement" ia now like.
|, to cost ne a largo part Of our army, aud II
" no arm Of force comos 10 the rescue Of the
remaindrr> we shall receive IA rebuke to Exec
ntivs mprudeDce, for which "the history OF
the world may be challenged to furnish par
allel." The congratulations which the Presi'
dent offered 10 the country have been sudden
ly contradicted, perhaps by the acts of the
President himself. lie has so directed the
movements Of the army of occupation, that the
sword must have spar, in tho victory" and
that that victory may be long delayed, and il
becomes necessary for him TO "invoke the
promp, action of Congress TO recognise Tho cx'
istcuce nf the war, and to place at the DISPOSE
ton of the Executive the means Of prosecuting
the war with vigor. .adeertisr.

PRoGREss OF THE WAR.-Our columns
to-day present pretty full account of
the progress Of the War up to the latest
dates. To make room for many impor-
tant and interesting details, we have been
compelled to defer till our next, several
articles intended for this number. These
omissions we doubt not our friends will
choerfulIy excuse, al this time espec cially
The war thus far has been prosecuted d
with more success than was anticipated.
Great rejoicinss were expressed at New
Orleans, on the receipt Of tho news OF
the fall OF Matamoras, and it was even
suggested by one Of the papers that the
city be illuminated. Another paper, (ihe
Delta, )more considerate than some OF the
rest, very wisely pauses 10 its exuIalions,
and says-"While we exuIt over the
news already received, it must not be
denied that the next arrival may bring
US more adverse tidings. The situation
o: Gen. Taylor at Point Isabel, is a crit
ical-nay, perilous ono. lie may be
overcome-he may be defeated by the
feat of greatly superior numbers-and
greatly superior in numbers must any
force be which defeats him but of one
thing we may rest assured, that all that
brave men may do, all that Americans
can do, will be done by him, and those
under his command"
