Bv an abstract of the proceedings of Coiitcss, furnished in another column it will be seen that our Representative moved a resolution to increase the pay of Volunteers from seven to ten dollars per month, and to grant to those who serve durin"- the war or to the heirs of such as may die or be killed in the service, 100 acres of land each. Mr. Stewart's reso Inlion was, however, rejected by the friends of the Administration only four "Whigs voting in the negative. The Late Intelligence. The intelligence from the Army which we publish to-day is of a highly gratify in and cheering character. The Amer. ican arms have been again victorious. Gen. Taylor deserves great credit for the energetic manner in which he has conduc ted the campaign since the commencement of hostilities. Volunteers for the Army. All the Volunteer companies in Phila delphia and one or two in Pittsburgh have signified their readiness to proceed to the scat of war whenever they are called up on. Some of them have tendered their services, in form, to the President. Tcssel Chartered. We learn, says the New Orleans Trop ic, that the steamship Alabama has been chartered for the use of the United States Government for three months, at $16,500 per month. She will be employed in transporting troops, ammunition, &c, be tween New Orleans and the Army and has Veen furnished with ten 9-pounders. Tlritish Interference. A Philadelphia paper states that a letter had recently been received by a respecta ble gentleman in Washington from a mer chant in Vera Cruz, in which the writer remarked that the movement of the Mexi can Army toward Texas had been deter mined on in consequence of advices which had been received from England and it is argued from this fact, that Great Britian has encouraged the Mexican Gov ernment in assuming a hostile attitude to ward the United States. A short time will tell whether this inference is correct or wh ether it is crroncctr. Sent off for Money. The Mexican Government is said to have sent an agent to London to negotiate a loan of two millions of dollars. MEXICAN PRIVATEERS. The insurance offices of Baltimore and New Orleans, we understand, now issue their policies upon all vessels with the war risk, apprehensive that they might be captured by European privateers under the Mexican flag. We think, however, there is no cause for such apprehensions at present. The Crops. We have favorable accounts from all quarters in regard to the growing crops and if the season continues propitious as it has been thus far, we may ronfidently expect an abundant JyW-bHHighaut the coun Serious Accident. Yesterday, while Welch, Mann 5:Del avan's Circus was exhibiting in our Bor ough, the temporary galleries which had been erected for the accommodation of spectators suddenly gave way and pre cipitated several hundred persons to the ground, carrying with them the broken fragments of die beaches on which they had been seated. Many persons were more or less injured. One man, Mr. Ash.had one of his legs fractured,and a lad of Berlin, named Johnson, ha both feet shockingly bruised and several bones broken. A number of others mostly children suffered some bruises, and we heard of several, who had to be carried home bv their friends, being una- 4 V able to walk in conscqunce of the injuries received. We have not heard the cause of the accident satisfactorily explained, but suppose the stays which supported the beaches to havo been too we; k to bear the we - , - , - ight cf w great a number of specta- tors. -MILITARY ORDERS. Requisition for Volunteers. By "the following general orders it will be seen that the President has mado a re quisition on the Governor for six regi ments of Infantry, to be enrolled and ready for the service of the United Sates. The requisition upon the Governors of all the States is in proportion, and comprise an aggregate of 41,939 men; 17,153 of whom are to be called into immediate service from the Western and South-west-em Slates. GENERAL ORDERS, No. 1. Head Quarters, Adj't General's Office, Harrisbcro, May 23, 1846. The Commander-in-Chief announces to the citizen soldiers of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, thet he has re ceived a request from the President of the United States, to cause to be enrolled, and held in readiness for muster in the service of the United States, six Regi ments of Infantry, under the act of Con gress of 13th May, 1846, entided "An Act providing for the prosecution of the existing war between the United States and the Republic of Mexico,' Each regiment to consist of 1 Colonel, 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 1 Major, 1 Adju tant, (a Lieutenant of one of the compa nies) 1 Seargent 31 ajor, 2 Quarter Mas ter Sergeants, 2 Principal Musicians, and 10 companies. Each company to consist pf 1 Captain 1 First Lieutenant, 1 Second Lieutenant, 4 Seargents, 4 Corporals, 2 Musicians, and G4 Privates. The act of Congress contemplates that this service shall be filled by volunteers: therefore, The officers of existing companies of volunteer infantry, comprising the requi site number of men, may be accepted un der their present organization, subject to a new inspection. The citizens of the State, who are de sirous to tender their service to the coun try in the present emergency, will forth with enroll themselves in companies of infantrv, in accordance with the provisions of the act of Congress, and the orders of the President hereunts annexed. The companies to be organized, inspect ed, and their officers chosen in conformi ty to the laws of the State. They may, however, under special circumstances, be inspected, elect their officers, and make the offer of their services before they are uniiormed. The companies, when completed, will make the tender of their services to the Governor, in writing, and deliver the original muster rolls to the proper Bri gade Inspectors, who will return the same to the Brigadier Generals, who will transmit all the offers of volunteers and enrolments of companis in their respective divisions, without delay, to the Adjutant General, at Harrisbcrg. It is expected that the enrolments, organization and inspection of the com panies will be had, &, the offers of service made prior to Monday, the 22 Junencxt. Offers of services from volenteers will be accepted with the view of accommoda ting each military division, in proportion to its numerical strength. When the offers of a number of volun teers, sufficient to fill the six regiments are accepted, and their serves shall be re quired by the President of the United States.orders will be issued.for whichthey will hold themselves in readiness, fixing convenient points of rendezvous for the troops to assemble, to be arranged into ragimcnts, elect regimental officers ac cording to the laws of the State fc be mus tered into the the service of the U. States. Copies of the Order ot the president and the Act of Congress are annexed, for general information. The confidence of the Cammander-in-Chicf in the patriotic zeal of the citizen soldiers of the Commonwealth, is unlimi ted. The country has called for their service the war has commenced en ergy and decision in its prosecution will insure the speedy restoration of peccc. By order of the Commandcr-in-Chiel. GEO. W. BOWMAN, Adj't. Gen. P.M. Orders No. 2, announce that the Gov ernor has appointed Henry Petrikax, Esq., to be one of his Aids-de-camp; and that he is authorized to act as Assistant Adjutant General until further orders, and all communications connected with the formation of the six regiments of volun teers, to be directed to the Adjutant Gen eral, Ilarrisburg. Also a form for the tender of services to be observed by org anized volunteer companies, and a form for the tender of services on the part of unorganized volunteer companies, and newly formed companies, together with the following requisition.Krom the Secre tary, of War, to the Governor, for six regiments of infantry. Order of the President and Act of Con gress omitted VERA CRUZ PROBABLY BOM BARDED. The steamship Mississippi, with the news of the commencement of hostilities between this and the Mexican Govern ment sailed from Pensacola on the 4th, with the news. She probably arrived at Vera Cruz, on Saturday last. Ere this we doubt not that the "Yankee Commo dore," has opened his battery on St. Juanud'Ulloa. He has the victorious ex ample of Prince de Joinville before him, without anv of the Prince's advantages in atiarkin the Fort Com. Conner, will have to contend against heavier batteries, and better engineers; and the Mexicans will not let him take the position they did the French Prince in the attack. If our surmises are correct, our American tars "are triumphant N. O.

The volunteering spirit continues very lively, and new companies are successive ly presenting themselves. , The regiment commanded by Senator Marks was to embark for the Rio Grande on the evening of the 12th inst. The steamers Alabama. New York and Florida, (the latter a steam-schoonet,) have beeen engaged for the conveyance of troops. , The Louisiana Legion, which has al ready volunteered in a body, musters one thousand men. The New Orleans Picayune says The French schooner Gironde Packet No 4. Capt. Pontele, arrived here yester day. She was from Liverpool, bound for Matamoras, but was ordered off" from themouthoftheRioGrar.de oa the 1st inst. by the U, S. brig Lawrence. The Command. It is now understood that General Scott will have command af the Array a gainst Mexico, and that thirty thousand men will be placed under his command. If any blow is to be aimed at Mexico, it must be a heavy one. This allowing her little squads to pick off" a few of our men and to consider such a course a victory, must not be permitted. Mexico, like the nettle on her own cactr?, must be pressed boldly, firmly, and strongly and her for ces against us will be crushed. Lightly they will only sting. No better officer could enter any field than Gen. Scott. Besides his military skill and experience, he has the feelings and knowledge of a civilian, which will enable him to ap preciate the rights and feelings of the citizens, a3 well as the honor of the army. He knows when to strike, and when to spare; how to turn a victory to the credit of the victors, and to avert disgrace by preventing excesses. A Washington correspondent says, the 50,000 volunteers are all to be called out, and 23,000 to be marched into the field as soon as they can be concentrated.- Gen. Scott will proceed in person to take thi command. The requisition sent out are nearly as follows: 3 regiments from Indiana, 3 from Ilinois, 3 from Kentucky, 3 from Tennessee, and others. The resi due of the 50,000 will be kept as a force ot reserve, and be mustered in the service, so as to be ready for order at a moment's warning. 1 regard the tariff" as safe, af ter active examination; the fourteen free trade votes cannot be mustered from the State of New York which has been calcu lated upon.
