From the IS. 0. Delia.
Benjamin Story, Esq. Among
other of our cotemporaries we aided in
giving circulation to a report, that on
ihe receipt of the news of the breaking
out of war, or the commencement of
hostilities, os the National Intelligencer
preiera 10 can it, Benjamin Story patri
otically stepped forward and offered to
place $500,000 at the disposal of the
Governor, as the sinews of war. We
of course said something pretty of M
Story on the occasion; but we now take
it all back. He did, as they say in th
florth,"no such a thing"-indeed he refus
ed.point blank, any such accommodation
The Governor being in a tight place
yesteraay morning 'cornered,' as they
call it in vau street inconsequence o
the bill providing for the payment o
the balance ot the outfit of the lour re
giments mustered into service agreeable
to the requisition oi wen. Taylor, he
went to Mr. Story at the Bank of Louis
iana, of which he is President, and af
ter a brief ceremony of salutation, ask
fd him if he could not loan him $9000
till the appropriation bill pending before
the Legislature passed? Mr. S. with a
negative shake of the head promptly re
plied "No!" The Governor bade him
one of those courteous good mornings
which none like him can bid, and pro
ceeded to the door but returning sud
denly he said, his innate'poltteness nev
er forsaking him, "(Jan I not, Mr.
Story, get it from the Bank by paying.
as I mean to do of course, the current in
terest?"
"Well,", said the President of the
Bank to the Governor of the State, "I
don't know: make out your proposition
and I will lay it before the board at its
next meeting."
The Governor after another of those
graceful good-bye's which can only be
acquired in nature s school, withdrew,
and thus were dissipated dissolved
into thin air, the patriotism and liberali
ly of Benjamin Story, the President of
the Bank of Louisiana.
We are thus particular in reciting the
circumstances, because it is our desire,
in every instance, to tell the truth; and
because we had before, unintentionally
)ld of Mr. Story that which was not the
truth or the fact.
But in relation to the $9000 loan, we
think it but right to state, that on appli
cation being made to the President of
the Canal Bank, it was immediately
placed at the disposition of the Cover
nor, with an intimation that "there is
more where that was" as the boy said
when the snow flake' fell in his eye.
City of Matamoras. As this city has
but recently been razed to the ground
by the American forces, the following
description thereof, from a correspond
ent of the New York Tribune, may not
prove uninteresting at the present time:
Matamoros is an old Spainsh city,
containing about 7,000 inhabitants, and
is beautifully situated on the southern
bank of the Rio Grande.within its folds,
so that its front and rear are both on the
river. Seen from the American side, it
has every appearance of being an Amer
ican town. The streets intersect each
other at right angles, and appear to be
lined with many varieties of shade trees
which give the town an air of coolness
and renders its appearance very invitn?,
Many of the buildings are built of rock,
and in the modern style of architecture.
The Cathedral, market, and buildings
occupied by the military, are among the
finest. The dwellings of the poorer
classes are constructed with canes,
brush, mud, and the like materials, and
are essentially Mexican. The town
f ...
ormeriy contained double its present
number of inhabitants, and was a place
of some importance. This rapid de
cline is owing to their internal commo
tions and the growing indolence of the
people. I he citizens are all under the
rule of the military, and are obliged to
provide for them. The military is su
preme, and the orders of their general
(Meji) are law.
The city has several fortifications,
armed with guns of different calibres,
and a force of 5 or 600 men is kept in
them constantly. Since our arrival they
have increased their force to nearly 3000
men, and have been working night and
ciay upon tne defences of the place.
They have thrown up peveral batteries
which bear upon our camp, and we are
quietly waiting for them to give us a
ball. -- Should they favor us, we shall
return the compliment with a series of
them, for the Spanish are very particu
lar in matters of ettiquette. Our camp
is directly opposite the town, and 800
yards from their batteries. We are en
gaged in throwing up a field-work, con
structing gun-batteries, and taking such
precautions as are necessary to enable
is to maintain our position. This
eems important, 6i'nce our intercourse
'ith them is entirely prohibited by the
Mexican authorities, and their attitude is
decidedly hostile.
Laic From Yucatan.
The Yucatan schooner rtntura.Cwl
xrais, arrived yesterday from iJampca
chy; we have papers by her to the 8th
instant.
El dmigo Del Pueblo of the 5th
publishes the Governor's message at the
opening of Congress. We see it stated
that the Jsamblia would not admit the
Mexican Commissioners, as they were
determined to remain entirely separated
iruiu vnai xvepooiic.
J lie editors of the El Jlmizo del
Pueblo suggest that the Peninsula of Yu
catan will, before long, adopt important
measures, that will determine the course
it must follow hereafter, and how it is
to be governed; which, at all events, it
believes must be much better than du
ring the time it was under the Mexican
Government.
Ijov. liarbachano s address to the
k it .. .
nssemoiy was generally approved: it
breathes a liberal and a patriotic spirit.
From private letters, dated 13th inst..
we learn that Congress was still in ses
sion at Merida, and would adjourn a
bout the 1st of June, previous to which
they would no doubt confirm the declara
tion made some time since, of the State
of Yucatan to separate from the Gov
ernment of Mexico.
A revolution broke out in the Depart-
ment of Tobasco about the 1st inst..
headed by a man named Bruno. The
result was not known at Campeachy
wnen tne Ventura sailed.
1 he news of the blockade of the
iiiuuuiui ine ivio uranae nau oeen re
ceived at Campeachv but they had not
leardol thefecual commencement of hos-
tilities. The Yucatacoes are said to be
opposed to rendering any aid to Mexico
n case of a war with the United States.
Great respect is paid to American citi
zens and their property. Several ves-'
sels that recently arrived from the U.
States, without having furnished them
selves with triple invoices of their car
goes, which the laws of Yucatan require,
were not seized the proper authorities
mmcdiaicly gave them permission to
discharge their cargoes.
The barque Tarquin, of this port,'
sailed from Campeachy for Laguna on
the 12th, to load.
The latest accounts from Mexico re
ceived at Havana, were up to the 1st inst.
We have received information from a
very reliable source, that it was known at
Javana that fourteen of the departments
f Mexico had notified their government,
that if the scheme of establishing a mon
archical government were enforced upon
them, they would be compelled, in self
efence, to ask for admission into the
Union of, the United States of America
t is said that General Alvarez, of Aca-
pulaco, who declared against the Mexi-
an government during the administra-
tion,of Almonte as Minister of war, is at
the head of the liberal party.
