S"tJ W. roar
Sir am directed by the President to in
form you in reply to your letter Of the Goth
ultimo, that he will accept of such a Battalion
OF Rihemen as you suggest, to serve during
the war, to be raised in the State Of Mississip.
Pi, You indicate the employment of them
under Major General Taylor, but it is proba.
Bile that the more active operations will be with
the column under the command Mai General
Scott, and their services may be required in
connection with that column. Presenting that
they will prefer the most active service, and
that q diffent destination from that mentioned
BY you will not impede the raising of it, shall
send forthwith a request to the Governor to aid
IN the organization thereof.
In regard to your suggestion that the Battal.
ion should be mounted, / would remark that
the mounted force already called out is DEEM
ed sufficient for the service which may be re-
CURED iOf that description of force and il is
not now proposed to add to their number.
Very respectfully,
Your obed't, serv't.

SR-Seyeral companies have been raised in
this State composed partly Of the men Of the
Regiment | commanded in Mexico. Applica-
tons have been made TO me for information as
to the mode by which they can be received
into General Taylor's army and obtain trans.
p%ortation thither. The greater part Of them
prefer to serve as mounted men: they are will

were given, | have no doubt would soon fill UP
the incomplete Regiment called f ON Texas
| believe it would require but a short time
to raise another Rife Regiment to take the
place of that disbanded, if this be desirable
Those who have spoken to me attuch great

teers as originally called out, and the organi-
cation provided for those, who after the expi-
ration Of their twelve months term should re-

Please inform me whether companies or a
Battalion or Regiment of Riaemen will be
received; if SO, will they be allwed to 90 OUT

The 4rH July was celebrated in grand style
at Monterey by the Volunteers, There was a
Buncom5e speech by Gen. Gushing, a reply by
Pold Rough and Ready, a dinner, various speech
es, and toasts, from which we extract the fol-
lowing as given in the Picayune:
Lieut.. Fuller Of the Massachusetts Volun-
teers gave.
Gen. Taylor-We hail him as the next prcsi-
dent; may his civil be as brilliant as his mill
tary career. (This sentiment was drunk with
three times three)
Gen. Taylor rose to respond to this sentiment
and said:
Mr.. President and GenHemen-I have never
had the vanity to aspire to or look for that ele-
waited situation which has Just been alluded
TO, but if my fellow-country men think proper
to elevate me to SO distinguished and honor
able a position, / certainly shall do my best
to discharge the duties of that responsible po-

LISBON, April 29--The terms proposed by Lord Pal
erston have been accepted by the Queen and the new
government They have been accepted, fully and amply,
and they ready even to do more, If more could be
desired.
Colonel Wylde sets off this evening for st. Ubes, to
nut a stop to hostes. The Queen and government
surrendered their objections in the most handsome and
liberal manner.
There is scarcely shadow of doubt that Colonel
Wydes mission will be successful soon after he arrives
and communicates the of which he is the bearer,
and the nature of his instructions Those instructions
imply an immediate armed intervention by England in
support of the Queens prerogatve should the terms not
be accepted But this is needless surpusage, complete
amnesty being extended which will bring all the leaders
as well the prisoners of Torres Vedras forthwith back
to Lisbon, and the Queen being ready to convoke the
Cortes at the period which may be agreed on The de-
termination to concede inspired by the conviction
that St Ubes and Oporto could not be reduced.
The ministerial crisis has terminated, and an almost
complete new ministry been formed, as follows:
Finance and lad Interim Marine and Colones-Count
TOTAL.
lnterier--francisco Tavares de Almeida Proenca.
Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs-Manoel Duarte
Leao
Foreign Affairs and lad Interim WarIldefonso Leo
poldo Bayard.
There remain two places to be filed up; but the APP
pontmens already made sufficiently decide the character
of the new ministry.
The ministers dismissed are Saldanha Vscount Oliver
