We cannot see what possible bearing this can

who 'fled to the Mexican side of the viler, were
doubtless aware Of the fact that the Mexican ar
my greatly outnnmhered that of the American

have doubted his '1:lowei• to afford the protection
which he promistd. Gen. Taylor has since pass
ed the RioGrande and taken liarita and Matamo...
ras;—the‘ citizens of both theze places were also
assured by Gen. Taylor that all their rights. and
property would be respected." The assurance had
the effect desired—the people remained and resu
med business.
Nosr,,if the fact that a portion of the Spaniards
on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, before the
defeat c.f . the Mexican army, refined to confide in
the assurances of Gen. Taylor, that their rights
and property should - Le respected, proses that they
considered themselves citizens of itlexico, then
does the willing:los of the people of Barita and

by the same officer. prose that they regard them

'HE MEXICAN WAR INTENTIONS OF THE
PRESIDENT
The 'Washington Union of Friday evening says
Proxecution of the War.—CircurriStances have put
it in our power, in the course ofthis day, to acer
tain some interesting facts touching the state of the
army, and the plans of the campaign. Without
entering into details, we may state, in the general,
our conscientious belief, that the executive is doing
its duty—doing everything it can--doing it with
every degree of energy by land and sea—in order
to conduct the present campaign to its legitmate
results, to bring the enemy to terms, and to con
quer an honorable and permanent peace. Mexico
is little aware, even now—even atter the tremen
dous de:hats which sire has sustained at Palo Alto
and at Itesaea do la Palms, of the great resources
of our tree and enterprising republic, under the
auspices of a firm, bold, and energetic administra
tion.
The Whig opposition, who are in the habit of
reviling James K. Polk, and of ridiculing him fur
I the alleged feebleness of his administration, are
profoundly ignorant of his character. But we did
not assume the pen in order to praise him. His
enemies, who are not yet turned from their errors
by the transactions of the last year, will be com
pelled to appreciate his character, and to confess
their injustice. All that we will say now is, that
! the war will be conducted with an energy, on'tbe
part of the government which is worthy the enthu
siasm of the iriop/e.
Gen. Taylor had, according to the last accounts,
about 8,000 troops under his eagles. Hundreds
and thousands of volunteers %vete pouring into his
camp. He will soon be iu advance into the ene

A DESTRUCTI V E ILNADO AND LOSS or LIFE :
at Wilmington, Delaware.
[Correspondence if the Baltimore Sun.]
WILMINGTON, DEL., June 5, 'S.W.?
8 "clock. P. M. j
DESTRUCTIVE To lINA of the most des
tructive tornadoes es er witnessed in this neighbor
hood, passed over the city this afternoon about
o cluck, by which a considerable amount of dam
age has been sustained, ate] two or three pgrsons
killed. Among other buildings destroyed was a
large frame, elected a short time since user the
ship yard of Messrs. Betts, Harland A: Hollings
worth, on the Christiana, below the rail road wharf,
which was completely demolished. The hands
were engaged on an Iron Steamboat, and becoming
alarmed, were just about leasing the building, but
before they had time to escape, it came r down upon
them with a theadlul crash. It is somewhat a
stonishing that a number of lives were not lost, as
there were, at the time, some forty or fifty persons
under the coveria. Two only were killed, and
one other very IMlOnjured and it is feared will
not recover. Ths fivo that were killed had left
the building, and %vete about ten feet from the door,
and must have been struck by some of the flying
fragments.
The names of the persons killed were Benjamin
Harding and Thomas McKay, both of whom have
left wives and several children to mourn their loss;
The person injured was named Niel Duffle.
The brig John 31. Clayton, lying in the
liana, a short distance above the bridge, was cap
! sized, all her masts and rigging carried away, and;
it is said, one man had his leg broken.
About one third of the roof of the Asbury Meth.
odist Church, in Walnut street, near Third, was
blown off; and carried across Third street, a dis
tance
of some sixty feet. The walls of several
new buildings in the course of erection, were de
molished, and a great number of trees blown down
in different parts of the city. The storm came up
so suddenly, that the store keepers in Market street
had not time to take down their awnings, and con
sequently most of them were torn into ribbons.—
For about halt an hour, the rain poured down in
torrents, and the flashes of lightning were awful.
The atmosphere seemed to be filled with the else.
tric fluid, but we have not yet learned that any
damage was done by the lightning.
The tornado appears to have been confined to
quite a small space, not extending more than two
or three miles. Passengers who came up in the
cars at 7 o'clock, state that very little damage was
observed beyond Newport, a distance of only
three miles from this city. Hence, thereis grounds •
to hope that as much injury - has not been sustained, I
as might otherwise have been expected. Yoars,&c. I

IMPORTANT FROM YUCATAN.
More annexation to the United States.—lndependence
tettled.—New garernment chosen.
By the brig Young GregorY i at Havana, six days
from Sits!, we have received atlvices from Merida,
the capitol of Yucatan, which read to the 10th
ultimo. We translate as follows: The old legisla
ture (assembly) has been dissolved, and a new
and extraordinary congress was in session. It
was opened with the greatest solemnity, by Migu
el Barbachano, who was appointed governor inter
im by the assembly, and has since been elected
governor of Yucatan, by the Congress, The names
of theother government officers are also given.--
-The first operation of the new, Congress was to
settle the question of independence. This being
done, they proceeded to the management and regu
lation of all the other matters necessary to the es
tablisnment of a new government. Three persons
have been appointed on a secret foreign mission,
via ate United Slates! Although the government
did not openly declare that these officers were to
visit Washington for the purpose of inquiring into
the steps necessary to procure annexation, yet this
was well known to be the object. This step has
found great favor with the people, and although
the mission was via the United States to some
other country, yet it was well understood.
PLEASANT SURPRISE
A young man, of eighteen or twenty, a student in
a University, took a walk one day with a roles
sor, who was commonly called the student's friend,
such was his kindness to young men whom it was
his office to instruct,
While they were walkink together, and the pro
fessor was seeking, to lead the efinversation to
grave subjects. they saw an old pair of shoes lying
in their path which they supposod to belong to a
poor old man who was hard at work in the field
close by, and who had nearly finished his day's
work.
The young student turned to the pro:iissor. say
ing, play the old man a trick; we will
hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those
bushes and watch and see his perplexity «hen he
cannot find them."
"MY dear friend," answered the pro!'essor, "we
must fie% tr. amuse ourselt es at the expense of the
poor. But you arc rich, and you may give your
iAdia much greater pleasure by means of this poor
man. Put a dollar into each shoe; and then we
will hide ourselve,."
The student did so, and then placed himself with
the professor behind the bushel close by, through
o hich they could easily watch the laborer and see
ohate%er wonder or joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his work; and came
across the field to the path, where he had left his
coat and shoes. While he put on the coat, he
slipped one foot into one of the shoes ; but reeling
something hard, he stooped down and found the
Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his
countenance ; he gazed upon the dollar, turned it
round, looked again and again; then he looked
around him on all sidfs . but could Fee no one.—
