FROM TEXAS.

" GONZALES, OCT. 3.—Your letter of September 27 has
been received, and we rejoice to see that volunteers are on
their march to our assistance. The Rubicon is crossed, and
it is now of vital importance to Texas that we should be imme-
diately reinforced.
" About 12 o'clock, on the 20th, the military, about 200 in
number, arrived on the western bank of the Guadaloupe, and
attempted the passage of the river, but were repulsed by 18
men (the whole force then in the place) ; they then encamped
on the mound at De Witt's. On the Ist of October, about 12
o'clock, they took up their march and encamped about seven
miles above this place, in a very strong position.
" Suspecting that their object in this movement was either
to wait for a reinforcement from San Antonio, or to cross at
the upper crossing, about fifteen miles above, it was deter-
mined to attack them before their plans could be carried into
execution. Accordingly, on the same night, the whole force,
on foot, amounting to about one hundred and sixty men, from
the Guadaloupe, Colorado, and Le Baca, commanded by Col.
J. 11. Moors, crossed the river, attacked the enemy about day-
break, and put them to flight, without the loss of a single man.
Inasmuch as we expect a formidable attack from Ugarteches,
should the forces long remain idle, the determination is to at-
tack San Antonio, as soon as we can receive reinforcement?, to
prevent this country from becoming the battle ground. This
Committee, therefore, earnestly desire that you would use
your influence to send to this place, as soon as possible, as
many volunteers as possible.
" Respectfully yours,
" W. M. FISHER, Chairman.
" Col. S. F. Austin, Chairman of Committee of Safety."
Information, which is relied on, has been received from the
Interior, that the States of Zacatecas and Guadalaxara have
risen and taken up arms in defence of the Constitution of
1824, and in support of the federal system ;' also, that there
arc insurgents in the State of Tamaulipas, in favour of the
same cause ; also, that the Republican-General, Juan Alvarez,
has gained a victory over the Government troops in the South
of Mexico. •
" NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS, OCT. 19.—We were delighted
last night by the arrival of an express from the Brazos, by
whom. we were informed of the complete success of the Ame-
ricans at Gan (Labshia) ; they had killed a few of the Lan-
cers (who are the flower or the Mexican army), and taken the
rest prisoners, seized on the public store, taken possession of
300 stand of arms and a number of horses.
" General Cos's troops had departed from that place for
Gonzales, and there we hope and believe he will be defeated ;
as he is completely surrounded by Americans, he will have no
, chance of retreat.—Yours, &c.
" P. S. The stores taken by our men were worth ! 0,000
dollars; they had been landed at Copano, and destined for St.
Antonio, for the use of the Mexican army. There arc now 50
men here from Tanaho, who are just starting for the seat of
war ; 90 volunteers left here a few days since.:—Yours, &c.
" J. CABLE."
TExAg.—WC understand that the District Attorney for this
district has received instructions from the State Department
to keep a sharp look out in his district on the course of things
tending to interfere with the friendly relations now existing
between this Government and Mexico. Calling attention to
our article in yesterday's paper, we would simply add, " Ver-
bum sat."-11iew York Advertiser.
WILL THERE BE WAR WITH FRANCE ?—This question seems
now, above all others, to fill the mind of the intelligent public.
