TEXAS.

The steam-ship Neptune arrived at New Orleans on the
10th ult., last from Galveston, bringing papers to the Ist of
April, from which we extract the following:—
" Major Howard arrived at Galveston, from San Antonio,
oo the 30th tilt , and reported that the Mexicans were making
preparations for another eampaiga, for the invasion of Texas.
Eight thousand troops, with a train of twenty pieces of artillery,
were at Mier and Carrna.rgo, ma'cing preparations far a com-
paign, under the pretext of chastising the Indians, who had
he-n committing depredations ,on the Mexican frontier. He
had the ittformatiun from Dr. Brook, who had been in the Fe-
deral army, and it had been confirmed by a Mexican deserter,
named Francisco Granado. Canales is attached ta the expedi-
tion, with 2,000 troops under his command. The moat intel-
ligent citizens of San Aironia were full r satisfied that the ex-
pedition is intended to operate against Texas.
WAR IN FLORIDA.
FLORIDA, Aran. 4. —An express has this morning arrived
at Pilatka, from Fort King, stating that the Indians have a hostile attitude this day within one mile of Fort
King. A party of seven warriors, suddenly emerging from
the hammock, attacked a small party of soldiers, who had been
out hunting, filed upon them, and killed private Thompson.
This occurrence took place at neon. A detachment of the
sotnmand at Fort King immediately left in pursuit. Another
item to add to the pleasing prospe,t of closavg the ear. These
Indians are supposed to be of the same party which left Fort
Clinch ye,terday about the time the express rider started f om
that rtation for Fort King. It is now the full of the moon, and
you may expect shortly to insert in your columns an article
Loaded " Bloody Massacre." •

JAMAICA.

(Corres ondenes of the Sunday Morning News.)
We hire now a n w case of confusion, excitement, and specu-
lation. A fes days since two large British steam-f igates,
fully armed and equipped, arrived and anchored in Port Royal
h4rbonr. Yesterday two more of there formidable viritors
made their appearance, and the fiur are now anchored in close
proximity off the port. 'lhe de,Vnation of this fleet is not
k iown—indeed it. is kept a profound secret, I think, from
even the islan I authorities. From recent demonstrations and
movements. however, it is most probable that an attempt is
shor ly to, be mid, to wrest the island of Cuba from the Go-
vernment of .pain. What wll Joaathan think of such a
movement.
