THE TrnEeRApu. Ertract from te Paris
Correspondence of the National Iatelli-
gencer:)
Professor Morse had the goodness TO send
me an account Of tho recent achievements
ofthe Electrical Telegraph, with a copy Of
the Baltimore. Sun containing the Presidents
message on The Mexican war, as It was
magically transmitted 10 that paper. | sent
the communications 10 Pouillet, the Deputy,
author Of the repor. heretofore mentioned TO
you, and he placed them in The hands Of
Arage, who submitted their very interesting
and decisive contents to the Academy Of
Science and The Chamber Of Deputies. In
the Chamber on the 18th instant, when the
proposed appropriation for an Electrical
Telegraph from this capital to the Belgian
frontier came under consideration, Berryer
opposed it on the ground that the expert
ment of the new system was not complete; !;
that it would be we'll to wait for the full
trial Of what was undertaken between Paris
and Rouen. Arago answered: "rhe expe-
riment is consummate: in the Uniled States
the matleris settled irresistibly. Iroceived
three Gays ago the OUR oi DalumoIe, VIA
letter of Mr. Morse, one of the most honor
able men of his country, and here is the
Presidents message printed from the tele-
graph in two or three hours; The message
would fill four columns of the Moniteur; il
could not have been copied by the most rapid
penman in shorter time than it was trans
mitted, The galvanic fiid travels seventy
thousand leagues per minute,' The APP
preparation, OF nearly half a million of francs,
was passed with enly a few dissenting
voices.

The schr. Mary Glare, Capt Griffin, has
Just arrived from Brazos Santiago.
The Mary Glare left the Brazos on the
10Th ult., and reports that Capt. Walker, with
rs men Of tho Texas Rangers, were nearly
all KILLED and TAKEN PRISONERS,
on the 2S,h ult., about 20 miles above PoiDl
Isabel, by superior force of Mexican troops
amounting to about fifteen hundred men!
P.S. Since writing the above, we lea II
that Captain Walker, with three men, sue
ceeded in reaching point Isabel at 4 o'clock
P. NJ, on the 2Sth, and Immediately applied
to Maj. Thomas for four men, and announced
his determination to proceed to Gen. Tay-
lor's camp, or die in the attempt.
Fellow Citizens: Here is another incte-
ment to arm and proceed to chastise the per-
fdious Mexicans, who ravage our Territory,
and thus take the lives of our brave men
who have rallied on the fronties, in their
country's service. TO ARMS, then WITH

MORE PARTICULARS.

A gentleman, passenger in the Ellen &
Clara, informs us that Gen. Taylor on the
Goth had only 6 days provisions. The Mex
leans chased Captain Walker and three men
within one mile of Point Isabel.
The probabilities are, that Point Isabel
has fallen into the enemy's hands.
Maj. Monroe has greatly distinguished
himself by his promptness and alacrIy in
making such defences as were in his power
The Mexcans can, by planting ten pieces
Of cannon at sBrazos Bar, command the en-
trance 10 Pon. Isabel. The Augusta was
met going out with troops. The Cage and
Florida were left at Point Isabel, loaded with
goods. The night previous TO the Ellen &
Clara leaving, an attack was expected oil
Point Isabel. Il was expected that Gen.
Taylor would cut his way through and come
10 the relief Of Point Isabel.

BY the President:
JAMES BUCHANAN.
Secretary of State.

There was report circulating through our
streets to-day, which produced SEINE sur
prise and excitement, viz: that Mr.. Packen-
ham had protested against our troops eros
sing the Rio Grandc. AS this rumor may
have flown, by this time, half way to New
York, it may alfec, the price of stocks, if il
were not even designed 10 effect that object:
we deem it our duty TO say at once that The
story is, so far as we are advised, wthoui
any foundation. Certain it is, our govern
ment has not yet heard of any such protest (;
and deeply, indeed, should we regret the
movement. We never expressed any sen,i-
menl more honestly in our lives, than that
we desire to preserve our amcable relations
with Great Britain, if be compatible with
our right and our honor. There are no two
nations on the many-peoplcd globe who can
contribute to each others prosperity more in
state of peace, or injure each other more
ina state of war. Bat we are perfectly as
sured that any measure Of this description
would so deeply compl'cate our relations
with Great Britain, as to make crisis prJb-
able, perhaps inevitable. We profess to be
as thoroughly acquainted with the character
Of our couutrymenas any one else; and we
are satisfied tina, their public spirit, the sturdy
pride which chlracterizes tho Anglo-Saxor
race, and which in our countrymen is rs
great, if moi greater than John But, would
not permit our people to tolerate such an in
terventon on his part with impunity. Wash
