After seven o' clock the strtets were quieter thanosual till about ninj o'clock; a detachment of ifrbrse, followed by one of the Princes on rv beautif ul vi'hite horse, passed under our jWiridow at fpll gallop.

These or der$jvere received with great joy by the sol. diera, who had not had a whole nights rest for a week -and had eaten nothing for 24 hours. In aii hour's time there was not a soldier to be seen -in Berlin. The King granted them nearly evenf thing they asked ; one ol" their petitions wa (be organization of a citizen .guard, and thai ery afternoon ten thousand were armed at the Arsenal, aiid in every place where we useo Jo gee soldiers we see armed citizens.

This President of the United States transmit el i6 both Houses of Congress on Saturday, the following message : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Stales : I'sabmit for the consideration of Congress, sevrl communications received at the Depart ment bf State from Mr. Justo Sierra, com missioner of Yucatan, and also a communica tion from the Governor of that State, repre ssnjjing the condition of extreme suffering to which their country has been reduced by an insurrection of the Indians within its limits, andUskinf; the aid of the United States. The communications present a case of human suffering and misery which cannot fail to excite the fsyjnpathies of all civilized nation.'. From these and other sources of information, it ap peals ithat the Indians of Yucatan are waging a wa r of extermination against the white race. In this crti2l war, they spare neither age nor sex but put to death, indiscriminately, all who falljj tithin their powei. The inhabitants, panic-stricken and destitute jf arm?, are flying befoiref their savage pursuers towards the coast ; andhheir expulsion from their country, or their extermination, would seem to be inevitable, un less; tljey can obtain assistance from abroad. In this condition they have, through their constituted authorities, implored the aid of this government to save them from destruction, offer- ingjir case this should he granted, to transler the if' dominion and sovereignty of the Peninsu la i aid vhicb had ht caster fair that morning pieces ; and Hi by continua time tq the United States. Similar anneals for and protection have been made to the Spanish and the English goyernments." Whilst it is not my purpose to recommend the jjacjloption of any measure, with a view to the Requisition of the "dominion and sovereign ty "ijoyer Yucatan, yet, according to our estab Iisbjpdpolicy, we could not consent to a trans fer of this "dominion and sovereignty," either to Spain, Great Britain, or any other European power. In the language of President Monroe, in nis message ot uecemoer, le'a, " we snoulu coniider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety." In my annual message of December, 1845, 1 declared that! M near a quarter ol a century ago, the principle was distinctly announced to the world, in the annual message of oneiof my predeces sors, that the Americancontinents, by the free andjindependent condition which they have as sumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power." " This principle wilf apply with greatly increased (brce, should anyj European power attempt to establish any ncvy colony in North America; In the exist-ingjjeij-cumstances of the worlds the present is deerned a proper occasion to reherate and re affirm the principle avowed by Mr. Monroe, andjto state my cordial concurrence in its wis dorrj ajid sound poliey. The rejassertion of this prinjcijle, especially in referencelo North Ame rica, is at this day but the promulgation of a policyj which no European power should cher ish he disposition to resist. Existing rights of every European nation should be respected ; but jit is due alike to our safety and our interest 1 have considered it proper to communicate the information contained bribe accompanying correspondence, and I submit to the wisdom of Congress to adopt such measures as,. in their judgment, may be expedient to prevent Yuca."

' . M 1-f JAMES K. POLK. Washington, April 29, 1848. f . In the Senate, the message having been read, Mr. Calhoun rose to express his regret that the President should have taken other than the higher grounds of humanity. It was on such a base, in his opinion, that the message should alone have rested ; and had it been so, Mr. C. would have been disposed! to go far, tctj far in aid of such suggestions ; but, if his ear had not deceived him, the message had reaffirmed the gronnd assumed by Mr.j Monroe in his mes sage of 1823, in relation to the non-jntei(er-ence of -European Powers in the affairs of this Continent. It was, in short, assuming the broad principle that we should be bound to in terference in all cases, no matter at what ex pense of money or sacrifice bf human life, when such interference occurred.; Now, where was all this to end, and were the people of this country prepared for any such crusade ? He conceived the suggestions at this time unneces sary, and calculated to lead to dangerous re sults. In the present condition of Europe no thing was to be apprehended from interference on her part. She could no more seize Yuca tan and hold it than we could. Who could say at that moment what the condition of England would be, or indeed was at the moment he was speaking ? He thought, after the experienco of the pdst, they should be more guarded. Al ready had the country been involved in a cost of one hundred and twenty millions of dollars, to say nothing of the thousands of lives sacri ficed. He asked why was Europe reeling to and fro at this very hour, if it were not from wasteful and reckless extravagance ? He glanc ed briefly at the enormous Increase of expen diture since the administration of Mr. Monroe when the Government was administered, ex clusive of the public debt, at a cost not much exceeding ten millions of dollars. While he admitted his willingness to respond to feelings of humanity, exposed as the citizens of Yuca tan were to extermination by the acts of hordes of lawless and ignorant savages, he could but lament that the President Had seen fit to in dulge in any remarks concerning foreign inter ference. He expressed thfe opinion that the Yucatanese had been partially instrumental in bringing about the evils tHey were suffering under. They had extended to these ignorant and illiterate hordes a free participation in all the privileges enjoyed by themselves, treating Ihem as equals ; and what had been the result? Why, they had wheeled round and become the murderers of their benefactors ; and so it would be again in all like cases. j who now part one dollar, must ' len pay 75,-1 and so on. And what had this debt been con tracted for? The Republic of Mexico otved our citizens some 3 or 6 millions of dollars, k had never repudiated the debt, but was actually unable to pay it, and Mr. Polk went to war to whip it out of hferi Well, he fought and whip, ped and fought and whipped, and repealed the performance again and again, and has not got the! six millions-yet, but he has paid over one hundred millions for it, in a word, tbe expenses of the War, waged to recover some three or six millions of dollars, has cost the country over one hundred millions and the debt is not recov ered yet. ; I Mr. Manly spoke about an hour and a hall, occasionally relating a spicy and humorious anecdote that threw the audience In a hearty laugh, Whigs, Locos and all, and his speech was favorably received as the rapturous applause that followed it gave sufficient evidence. Upon the whole, we think that Mr. Manly has made a very favorable impression on those who had the pleasure of hearing him speak and he will lead his opponent thro the County by a hundred or a hundred and fifty votes. This is the " inimitable Charley Manly," and he will bear the Whig standard in triumph over the battlements of the enemy and come forth from the contest a glorious victor cool and unscath ed.Weldon Herald.

CABARRUS SUPERIOR COURT. MR. MANLY IN HALIFAX. Agreeable to appointment, the Whig car.di date for Governor, met his fellow-citizens of Halifax county, on Monday last, and gave them his views on the various exciting questions of the day. - - It was the first day of otjir Superior Court, the weather was propiiious, no cloud dotted the broad expanse of Heaven, but the sun shone forth in all his splendour, and in every thing betokened that a more favorable day could not have beenchosed. An unusually large number of persons came into court and to hear the speech of the Whig standard bearer. At rioon the Court took a recess, and, there being about two hundred persons in the court house, it was announced that Mr. Manly would then address his fellow citizens. Col. Joynex rose and in a very appropriate manner, intro duced him to the assemblage who received him with marked jrespect. Then commenced the speaking. Mr. Manly spoke on the various topics ttfat now occupy public attention.; On the Warques tion, he occupied the great Whig platform.! He spoke of the annexation of Texas, stated 'that the very act of annexation, (eft open "the ques tion of boundary, to be adjusted by negotiation and in as much as Congress recognized the boundary question as unsettled, and consequent ly the country between the Nueces and the Rio that the efficient protection of our laws should Grande as disputed territory, the order of the be extended over our whole territorial limits, and that it should be distinctly announced to the world, as our settled policy, that no future European colony or dominion shall, with our consent, be planted or established on any part of the?

MANIFESTO OF GEN. TAYLOR. The New Orleans Picayune of Tuesday last, contains the following Letter from Gen. Tay loh to his brother-in-law, Capt. J. S. Allison, intended evidently as a Manifesto of his opinions on political matters, on which his partisans must advocate his claims for the Chief Magis tracy of the Union. The General, it is appa rent, desires to be relieved from all further im portunity. Bato Rouge, April 22, 1848. Dear Sir : My opinions have recently been so often misconceived and misrepresented, that I deem it due to myself, if not to my friends, to make a4jriet exposition of them upon the topics to which you have called my attention. I have consented to the use of my name as a candidate for the Presidency. I have frankly avowed my own distrust of my fitness for that high station ; but having, at the solicitation of many of my countrymen, taken my position as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to surrender that position until my friends manifest a wish that I should retire from it. I will then most gladly do so. I have no private purposes to accomplish, no party projects to build up, no enemies to punish- nothing to serve but my country. I have been very often addressed by letter, and my opinions have been asked upon almost every question that might occur to the writers as affecting the interests of iheir country or their party. I have not always responded to these inquiries, for various reasons. I confess, whilst I have great cardinal prin ciples which will regulate my political life, I am not sufficiently familiar with all the minute solemn rr i rr f . . i ne semi-annuai jerm oi this (Jourt war held last week by his honor, Judge Manly. The most important Suit, the State r. Jacob Dove, for ihe murder of George Linker, was ordered lobe removed to this (Rowan) Coun ty, upon the Prisoners affidavit. No other cause of general interest was on the Docket, though many knotty points that seemed greatly to interest the profession, were discussed at the bar, and disposed of mostly without appeals. In this connection, we take the liberty of say. ing, upon the authority of others betterqualified to express such an opinion, that' Judge Manly! fulfils ihe requirements of his station in a high, ly creditable manner, as a fair and impartial ar biter between man and man as a clear think er and a well informed jurist and a dignified officer, wo think he is entitled to a high rank upon a bench highly distinguished throughout for many excellent jtraits and much ability. e think North Carolina never had greater cause to be proud oil her Superior Court Judi. cature. ; v The Clerk ot the Court has kindly furnished us with the following Presentment of the Grand Jury of this Term, which reflects much credit upon this spirited and enlightened County as well as upon the body making it. g will be inferred from the presentment itself, it was eli cited by some general remarks of his honor in his usual charge, upon the subject of education and particularly upon the Common School Sys tern in our State. If other functionaries would take up this subject in the same spirit, the burn ing reproach of having the greatest proportion of illiterate persons, would never again be fix ed by a census upon North Carolina: .

I ... i . . t auer assert a ciaim 10 "dominion and sover- " over Yucatan. Oujrexisting relations with Yucatan are of a peular character, as will be perceived from thq note of the Secretary of State to her com missioner, dated on the 24th of December last ; a copy of which is herewith transmitted. Yu cajan has ni:ver declared her independence, and we treat her as a State of the Mexican Repub lic For this reason, we have never officially receii-ed her commissioner : but whilst this is th case, we have, to a considerable Extent, re cognized her as a neutral in our war with Mex ic. j Whilst still considering YucHtan as a portion of Mexico, if we had troops tb spare for this purpose, I would deem it proper, during ihe continuance of the war with Mexico, to occupy and hold military possession of her! territory, and th defend the white inhabitants against the less the expenses of the War, and the millions of indemnity which our Government is to pay our cilizens. We have already more territory than we can occupy, and there are millions of acres of better land in the United States un- I occupied, than any in' New Mexico or Califbr I nia. Mr. Manly admitted! the importance of ! possessing a port on the Pacific coas-t, but ;said I he, why not buy it ? Why not pay Mexico the j v;due of it instead of forcing it from her ? This I he thought was the proper mode to procure it, and it would cost far, far less in the end, than ohiaining it by the method the President adopted. Various other questions, were ably discuss ed. Mr. Manly spoke in very complimentary terms of Halifax, the ancient borough, that gave birth to ihe Constitution of the Srate, and to some of the greatest rren our State has ever produced. His encomium on Halifax was; just and appropriate as it was chaste and beautiful. Next came the admission of Santa Annainto Mexico "by authority." The "pass" was read, and the subject discussed in an able man- hat Cefukrmes M oft then his ar si.ldiers exceeded all belief ; for r boy u'Hf caught carrying am- barricade, he u is taken lo the uket and firM his ears wire cut n was broken, uhd then he was incursions of the Indians, in the: same way that we have employed our troops in our States of the Mexican Republic in our possession, in re pejiing the attacks of savages upon the inhabi tahtsjwho have maintained their neutrality in the war. Rut, unfortunately, we cannot at the present, without serious danger, withdraw our forces from other portions of the Mexican ter. ritory now in our occupation, and send them to Yucatan. All that can be done,: under existing circumstances, is to employ our naval forces in the Gulf not required at other points, to iSord ihfm relief. But it is not to be expected that any adequate protection can thus be afforded, as the operations of such naval forces must, of ner. Ucalon the tejd with the butt ol a musket until necessity, be confined to tho coast, Then came the revenue question, the issuing of Treasury notes to pay the expenses of the War, the entailment of an enormous debt, and how, akcd Mr, Manly, is this to be paid off? Not by raising the tariff, oh no, the Democratic party is opposed to the tariff of '46, opposed to a high tariff as ihey call it, and yll have! no thing but the tariff of '42. It is plain this; will not pay off the enormous -debt, and direct taxa tion must hej resorted to. Well, in lhat ease, what proportion would North Carolina have to pay ? Her laxe for State purposes amount to $80,001) and her share of the taxes to pay off ' X this debt would be just seventy-five times that amount or fix millions of dollars, and the man pledges to exert my influence, if I were Presi dent, to carry out this or defeat that measure. I have no concealment. I hold no opinion which I would not readily proclaim to my as sembled countrymen ; but crude impressions upon matters of policy, w hich may be right to day jand wrong to-morrow, are, perhaps, not the best test of fitness for office. One who cannot be trusted without pledges cannot be confided in merely on account ol them. I will proceed, however, now to respond to your inquiries. First. I reiterate what I have often said I am a Whig, but not an ultra Whig. If elect, ed I woulcThol be the mere President of a par- ty. I would endeavor to act independent of i party domination. I should feel bound to ad minister the Government untrammelled by party schemes. - Second. The veto power. The power giv en by the constitution to the Executive to inter pose his veto, is a high conservative power; but in my opinion should never be exercised j except in cases of clear violation of the consti tution, or manifest haste and want of considera- j lion by Congress. Indeed, I have thought that, ' for many years passed the known opinions and wishes of the Executive have exercised undue and injurious influence upon the legislative de partment of the Government ; and for this cause I have thought our system was in danger of un dergoing a great change from its true theory. The personal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy tJie Executive chair, ought not to control the action af Congress upon questions of domestic policy nor ought his objections lo be interposed where questions of constitutional power liave been settled by the various depart, ments of Government und acquiesced in by the people. Third.

My life has been devoted to arms, yet I look upon war at all time and under ail circumstances a a na tional calamity, to he avoided if compatible with national honor. The principles of our Govern ment as well as its true policy are opposed to the -subjugation of other nations and the dis memberment of other countries by conquest.- In the language of the great Washington, Why should we quit our own to stand on for- Gen. Taylor's Sentiments. So far as we hare had an opportunity of conversing with the whigs, says the Richmond Whig of Thursday, since the appearance of General Taylor's letter to Mr. Allison of New Orleans, we are gratified lo say, there is a very general concurrence of ! opinion, lhat the views embodied in that docu ment are entirely satisfactory ; and we do not doubt that there will be a general, if not a uni. versal, acquiescence in the opinion. 'We have, of course, not conversed with many of the whigs in the brief period lhat has elapsed since the General's letter has reached ihe city ; but a mong the few we have seen are gentlemen who had heretofore been decidedly opposed to the General's nomination as the Whig candidate for the Presidency. It is now placed beyond all doubt, to use his own expressive words, that on " cardinal principles," Gen. Taylor's senti ments are in entire harmony with those of the Whig party ; and it would be obviouly prepos terous to suppose that the measures of an Ad ministration recognizing such principles would not be equally in accordance with Wmo policy. The one must result from the other, as any oth er effect from its cause. Mr. Rf id, hss accepted the nomination of the Loco foco Convention for 3orernor. DEATH OF The Union of S ces the death of G U.
