Ax T.notosoies SfATEM EN:r.—We see in the . pernoclatie Press of Thursday last, a letter from . an'!Office'r in' flie Washington Artillerists; stating that John . Robins, a jrrivate in that company, had deserted at Philadelphia, and,calling particular at-. tention to the fact, because the printers of Potts ville had presented a revolter to him previous to his departure. We are sorry to see this statement; hawse it is erroneous, and is calculated to injure %Ir. Robins without benefitting anybody.'. The facts of the case were as follows: At the earnest solicitation of some of his young_ friends, Mr. Robins woe induced to enter his name upon the:roll-of the Artillerists as a volunteer for. Mexico. He did it under the exciteinent at the moment, and regretted it as soon as it was done, but he determined not to withdraw his 'name so Wig as it (night be needed taTill the roll. j Upon his arrival at Philadelphia, however, finding - that more names were upon the roll than : ere requir7 ed, Captriin Nagle wasspoltcn to upon the subject,: who said that if 14r. pobina did , nbt wish to go with the company, be could have tbe . privilege. of ~ .ithdrawirrg, which he did.= So much forth matter of desertion. In regard to the pist.9l, it .i only rreNsary to slate that it was given to Mr. 7.entmyer, another meinber of the company.. The only advantaWderived by Mr. Robins fiorn his en listment, was a freetrip to Philadelphia. witkthe privilege of paying his expenses while there. and his passage 'back to Pottsville.

About forty of the deputies had already arrived from the different departrnents, and the government paper urged the assembling of the body even in advance of the appointed time, on account of the urgency of the matters requiring legislative action. The! .events of the war with • the United States the reCessity, of great recources to sustain it,sand some 'other points relative to the same poportant ,rnatter," are enumerated as the principal business to be brought,before the Congress. Gen. Almonte continued in the department of 'war. and his .numerous published orders in rela tion tothe service evince much spirit and activity. We find in fhe Mexican papersoflicial commu nications from the authorities of the different States assuring the Government that the'dissen 'ions and threats of dissensions which appeared in the in the capital in October last, have not availed - to disturb 'tranquility in the States. We find a paragraph, indicating thilt. the' Amer ican army tinder Gen: Taylor, might,be expected from the North by way of Sabillo about, the 2!st of Nrivember, threatening San Luis.
