SERENADE TO GEN. TAYLoR.-It having been
announced that a serenade was TO be given to Gen.
Taylor last night, some time before the cocks be-
gan to crow crowd of from three to four thousand
persons was assembled in and about the ST. Charles
Hotel. The affair was got up admirably. The
splendid orchestra of the Orleans Theatre, and the
Fillmore Rangers, were the serenaders. Pyrotech-
mic skill enhanced the interest of the occasion by
a brilliant display of fireworks. How different
must have been the feelings of the :" Old Hero"
this occasion, from those that agitated his bosom
when he saw the signal rockets of Minon in his
rear, and when the tattoo was beaten his troops on
the night of the 22d February, l847. That was
night in the presence of a formidable enemy this
was night in the presence of formidable friends.

 Tho ferment in Europe is still increas- ing, and Republicanism is spreading, but not without signs of opposition from the Autocrdt of Russia.
 A Republic has been declared in Pru- sia, and the King, Frederick w., and his Ministers, seized by the provisional gov ernment established, and cast into prison. The Prince has made good his escape.
 The revolution at Lombardy was en- tirely successful, but has been accompani- ed by great bloodshed.
 The King of Naples has yclded to the people al! the reforms and extension of their'liberlics that were demanded.
 England still firmly protests against the Montpcnsier marriage.
 It is expected that notwithstanding tho concessions made by the Emperor of Austria, he will be compelled to abdicate, to make way for a republic.
 The Emperor of Russia ordering has issued ukas ordering the army in the field, in which he gives, as reason for so doing an ''allancc with the United States Should probably be in United Pow crs) to stop the flood anarchy spreading throughout Europe"
 Some disturbance have taken place at Lyons and Havre between the people and soldicry, but they were easily quelled. Everything progressing quictlyin France.
 The rumored Polish Revolution is fully confirmed by this arrival, but nothing fur ther received as to its prospect or pro- gress.
 Nothing later is received by this arri- val from England and Ireland, than was brought by the tlibernia, consequently there is no later commercial intelligence.

Belize can comply with what it has pro missed and still there will be no diminu ton of the resources of these Indians.
 would beg to call to your attention what i now haPpeningin Central America, as re gards the unworthy and ridiculous farce o the King of the Mosquitoes.
 The result of all these horrors has beer that the resources of the country have been paralyzed, the greater part of the agricultural riches have been destroyed the receipts of custom at the custom house: put amend to, the payment of public fax, es rendered impossible, commerce and in. dustry annihilated; in fact, all classes have been prostrated and made miserable. ] The government being without any kind of resources-1eprived of the means ol making an eflicacious stand, so as to put an end to this war finds itself in the most embarrassed acd difficult position, not withstanding the ready and frank co-ope- ration of all the citizens who hay given it all their property and their persons; but, unfortunately, from the lost and paralyzed condition of affairs, nothing can be reali- Zcd from these generous offers. The government cannot sustain the immense number of troops that it requires; it has neither arms nor ammunition-all have been expended nor has it the means to purchase moro. To sum up, the county is on the point of utter ruin, and the white race is on tho point of being ex- tinguishcd by the savage Indians, unless it receives the sympathics, protection and he p of other powers.
 The Yucatecocs cannot suffer barba- rous assassination and destruction without making all the attempts in their power to avoid this catastrophe and among them, is that of calling on some foreign power to assist them in sustaining the rights of suffering humanity-of invoking the sym pathy which one civilized and Christian people must feel for another one which is equally civilized and Chrstianized. And what country have we to appeal to, if not to that powerful republic which is the foremost ono in the ranks of Amcri- can civilization, towards which we have so much good feeling and esteem, and from which we hope for oilr lntlre pros- pcrity and aggrandizement! Mexico, we look on as all enemy, and moreover, she is prostratcd by the occurrences of the year. Spain has nobly and generously offered us her assistance but as yet we have not received it. England is most probably disposed to assist us, as my government has reasons for believing. Whatever aid may be afforded us by ci- ther of these two powers, will be of lit- tic importance, and of little cost to them, whilst to Yucatan they will be of infinite value.

A despatch from Sentor Sierra, Com. missioner of Yucatun, addressed to the Secretary ol State, Aprill3, lS4S, appcals in the New York Herald. implorc the Government of tho United States to give succor to the people of Yucacan, who arc in danger of being cxterminated by the Indians. The following narrative depicts the unhappy condition ofthe Spanish race in 1ucatan: 2, 9 1W ul
 The Indian war, that atrocious and say age warfare, as conducted by them without sparing either sex or age, is, at the pres. cnt time, of most formidable character for Yucatan. The savages have destroy cd four towns and more than fifty villages; they have oyerrun more than two hundred farms, and as many cotton and sugar plan- tatons they have violated cemeteries, assassinatcd hundreds of white families, and at last accounts were masters of all the eastern and most of the southern DOT ton of the Peninsula of Yucatan. The work of 300 years of civilization, and the improvements which our best citizens have by their labors erected, have all disappear. ed wherever they have been subject te the savage attacks of this accursed race who, at the present time, arc carrying fire and slaughter over the formerly happy homes of the people of Yucatan.
 Immense horles of this malignant race fall with surprising rapidity on the defence. less villages, leaving them heaps of ashes and then withdraw themselves to tht woods, forests, and other inaccessible spots of the country, cvading and tanta
 lizing our troops, who are unable to como up with them. Unburthened with the usu
 al ncccssaries of civilized life, the rapid
 fly of their movements, the case witt which they support all kinds of privations such as it is impossible for any other race of men to bear, all these things combine to give them an almost irresistible superi ority; moreover, their numbers increase in the most extraordinary manner, ant their means of warfare, far from diminish
 ing, seem also to increase. ltjis true my government sent q commission to that o the Belize, to beg them to put a stop t the selling farms and ammunition to ths Indians, and that government replied. would do so.

The Mobile Register of the 27lh ut.
 says that the painful certainty that Mir ASDEE~s committed suicide, was deter mined yesterday. The body was found near the wharf, whence it was supposed that he has thrown himself, and where his hat and umbrella were found last Satur. day morning. IL lad risen from decom. position and was easily identified, al. though the features were swollen and disfgurcd. His pockets were found loa- ded with weight tp secure him from .ris- ing, His clothing was the same as when he left homo last, and his linen, drawers and pantaloons were marked with his name. Nothing else was ound in his pockets but some small change. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was in ac- cordance with thesc facts. ..
 It is a mysterious and melancholy CO., incidence, that his brother, Z. ANDREWS of New Orleans, another partner in the house of E. L. ANDREWS & Co.,, here, disappeared about the same time from N. Orleans and had not been heard from up to o'clock last night. The impression is that he too, committed suicide, and that the brothers agreed to destroy them- selves simultaneously whenever the dis honor of their commercial credit should be made certain. Itis story of strange interest.
 It is said that the family of Mr. Z. AN- DREws, have received q letter through the post office at N. Orleans, stating that he intended suicide, and dircctied, that should his body be recovered that it be buried according to the Jewish Custom.

The Evening News, through Washing ton correspondent, gives the following ac- count. of the recent attempt at slave steal ing:
 The Aboitionists, despairing of slie- cess in their importunities to induce Con gress to declare all the slaves in the Dis trict of Columbia free, have resorted, moro extensively than ever, to theft. Hereto fore, one negro has been taken at time. Emboldcned by success, fifty have sudden ly disappeared, in accordance with tho schemes previously concocted. Last week schooner came all the way from Philadelphia to sell a load of wood 1! The captain disposed of it at sacrifice, so anxious was he to return home He set sail early on Sunday morning, and took with him as cargo about fifty of tho valuable slaves of this city and George town. Some of them robbed their, mas- -ters, stealing silver spoons and other valu- ables which were poclSetablc. A steam- boat was despatched down the Potomac in pursuit, ,and arrangements were forth with made in Baltimore, through the tclc- graph, for the arrest of the fagitivesg as they come into Chesapeak Bay. We have many in Washington, rogues in heart, who como here from the North, and, under the guise of rcspectability,. clande- stinely despoil our citizens of their pro- pcrty. a,.t, ..

Tho r,imors afloat here during last week, of tho important failures in Mobile, have been confirmed, and much feeling has .dbccn eicited on the subject We have not learned the extent of the effect of inc pres sure. in that city, and WIG regret to hear of any failures there, from tho fact that it
 will have a tendency to seriously affect a i,a. large portion of the business men of l the staic. Among the failures, we notice
 tho firms of Ilarwell & Davis, James ! Walsh, Mauldin & Tcrrel, Mir. Starkc, u

oL During the past week wo had the grati- hcation of visiting this delightful little viii
 lage, the county site of Tallapoosa county.
 Being situated on somewhat of an emi. rnsnce, with a large brick Court House, { . public houses or taverns, some four or
 hvs dry goods stores, talors shop, saddle
 and harness shop, jail, and last, though
 not least as to importance and convent a encc of locality, arc some four retail gro- .l cerics, not those that confine themselves to ] the "sugar and molasscs'' line, but to the
 more familiar line of "whiskey strat' or "sugar in minc," which business, it would seem, ir quite extensively patronizcd, we
 were to judge from the crowds assembled .in and around these "rcsorts of luxurics. ,
 There are two blacksmith shops, wagon
 shop, church, and many other places of < usefulness and industry, wlAch, when ta. lt'kentogcthcr, makes this place delightlul little village. ..n9.4s @to Hs1
 In noticing this place WIG cannot re- irain from mentioning particularly the ,.amc of our landlord, Mir. NE. Sparks, whose sffibility, kindness to his visitors, ssd the table s,ibstantiabilities, cannot fail D to make those who favor him with call feel themselves Ut home. Take it all to-
