territory, now treacherously attacked, in utter disregard of all.
guarantees recognized in this enlightened age.
You will readily appreciate the importance of this subject,
and the necessity of preparing the troops under your command,
to march towards any point which may require protection
against these most unjust aggressions. I am directed by the
provincial President to enjoin upon you, as general-in-chief of
your division, and as a citizen of this Republic, to hold yourself
in readiness to repel those who seek the ruin of Mexico. The
Government is eccupied in covering the different points on the
frontiers, and in collecting the necessary means, so that no-
thing may be wanting to those whose glory it will be to defend
the sacred rights of their country.
I have the honour to communicate for your intelligence and
to direct your conduct.

The following extract of a letter to a counnorcill
house at New Weans is published in the l'irayune :
MATAMORAS, JULY 17, 1845.-4 write you again thus
s,on, fearing that war %ill be de•clated by Mexico against
the United States, and ad communicati,in be interrupted
for some time. From the pre sent manifestation o! fuel-
ing towards the Americans we fear we may be expelled
from the country at fifteen days' notice, in which c,:se
shall have the pleasure of seeing you sooner than I ex.
peered, although at a grievous loss in a pecuniary point. of
view. By the present treaty between the United States
and Mexico, we are permitted to remain six months to
settle up our business affairs, but I am apprehensive
they will pay no regard to it. Troops are approaching
this place from various quarters, and not a single doubt
remains in my Mind of the intentions of this Govern-
ment to declare war, although it will he impossible for
them to push it with vigour, or the least prospf ct of
success. Should they, however, be supplied with the
requisite funds from England, although they may be un-
able to make any powerful demonstration on the other
side of the Rio Grande, their national obstinacy will in-
duce them to deft r for a long time any approaches to-
wards a peace forfeiting their alleged rights to the State
of Texas.

This circular to the authorities suboriiQetothisoffie:

Most Excellent Senor—As my notes of the 30th of March
and the 7th of April of this year, concerning the deserters and
recruits for the army, have not produced the effect which his
Excellency the President ad interim desired, as the Gover-
nors hare not been able to gather a number of men by any
means adequate to the wants of the army, his Excellency has
ordered your Excellency to provide the material, to enable the
different departments to furnish their quota and complete the
contingent of troops required by the decrees of •29th of Decem-
ber, 1843, and the 2d July, 1844; for although the Supreme
Government has not evaded with punctuality the complement
from these departments, she now sees herself under the neces-
sity of doing so, for the war which she wages against the
United States, the perfidy and treachery of which power has
put her in possession of a part of this Republic.
His Excellency the President ad interim requires that
your Excellency inform the Governors of the necessity which
exists of detailing the number of men so highly necessary to
fill the ranks of the army, and to excite the zeal and patriot.
ism of the authorities, that their preparations shall be effec-
tual, so as to fulfil the desires of the Government, and pre-
vent the dignity of the nation from being in any measure com-
promised.

I have the honour to communicate to your Excellency the
following, to be used as occasion may require.
God and Libery !—July 6, 1845.—Garcia Conde. Most
Excellent Senor, Minister of Foreign Relations and of Police.
Transmit to the authorities depending upon your department.
MOST EXCELLENT SENOR.-It being necessary that the
troops of the line should cover the frontiers of the republic,
and march towards Texas to conquer that department, now
usurped by the United States, His Excellency the President
ad interim has commanded me to transmit you this note, to
excite the zeal and patriotism of the Governors, that they place
' under arms in their respective district-, all the force which can
be collected in defence of the laws, to be ready to serve as a
safeguard of their respective departments, according to the de-
cree of the 4th of June of this year, and the regulation of the
7th inst.

FROM ST. Domucco.—Capt. Robinson, of the schooner
Samuel Roberts, informs us that news had reached For
Paix from Cape Hayti that the Haytian army had re-
turned to the Cape—that Col. Valamener was left 40
miles east of the Cape, waiting fur an assault ; but the
Haytian soldiers refused to attack and returned, leaving
the Dominicans to themselves. Coffee was high. No
American ves-els at the Cape on 31st July.
The Washinvbn Unio.;, in noticing the recent move-
ment of troops to Texas, says that this, as well as other
measures, have been adopted on account of information
which has been received that the Mexicans are sending
a force across the Rio Grande. With regard to the fact
that Texas does not extend to the Rio Grande, but only
to the Neuces, the official paper says—
" Let it not be said that Mexico has claimed the
country to the east of the Rio Grande ; that they have a
post at Santiago ; that they have a few troops at that
post, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, and another small
post higher up the river. We do not mean, unless they
compel us, by some act of violence, to dispossess them
of these positions. We stand upon the defensive, so far
as relates to the force they have already at these posts.
Tt II us not, however, of the 45,000 inhabitants they
have settled on that river. The population on the river,
until you ascend to the neighbourhood of the Santa Fe
region it very,small—not more than a few hundreds ; and
most of these very Mexicans have recognised the laws of
Texas, by uniting with the Texians in electing from that
country a rei:resentative to the Texian Congress."
THE OREGON EMIGRANTS.—The St. Joseph Gazette,
published in Missouri, has news from the Oregon emi-
grants. Another company is lost, which contains j
fifteen men and thirty five women. They were about
800 miles above Council Bluffs, on the Missouri river ;
they had despaired of getting on this season, and are
planting buckwheat with the expectation of obtaining
provisions on which they may resume their journey
next spring.

Your Excellency will communicate to the Governors this
supreme resolution, and will inform them of the obligations
under which the citizens are to contribute to the defence of
their country, and to sustain rights, violated by a nation which
refuses to acknowledge them, and obliges Mexico to maintain
them by force, which it most undoubtedly will or fall in the
struggle. She will not consent to give up one half of her
territory, from the base fear of losing the other. Hoping that
your Excellency will furnish me with information as to the
number of men which can be devoted to this important object,
your Excellency will please to accept my most high con-
sideration.

God and Liberty ! Mexico, July 16, 1845.
To the most Excellent Senor, Minister of Foreign Relations
and Police.
(From the New York Courier and Enquirer.)
LATER FROM TEXAS.—Galveston dates to July 30
have been received at New Orleans by the packet
Alabama, which arrived on the 2d. We find a summary
of the news she brought in the Picayune. The steamer
Monmouth arrived at Galveston on the 31st ; she was
to effect needed repairs, and leave the next day for
Aransas.

The Texan Convention seems to be progressing
rapidly with its business, and will probably adjourn by
the middle of this month. The seat of Government will
probably be continued at Austin. The IVational Register
contains the following :
AUSTIN, JULY 19, 1845.—There is but little of interest
going on here: the members of the Convention are be-
coming a little more excitable as time progresses. Yes-
terday there was a flare-up between General Davis and
Senor Navarro. Davis, in advocating some measure,
introduced into his remarks a comparison rather dis-
paraging to the Mexican nation, at which the " deputy"
Irvin Bexar took tire, and demanded if the remarks were
intended as personal ; to which Davis rejoined, by de-
n) ieg that he had said what was alleged. The Seat of
Got ernment question, I think, is destined to raise a row,
the " West" having divided upon it between Lagrange
and Austin.
The various Committees iu the Convention have re-
ported different previsions for a State Constitution.
They are published at length in the Galveston papers.
The Bill of Rights declares that no religious test shall
ever be required ; that no person shall ever be imprisoned
for debt ; that perpetuities and monopolies shall never
be allowed, and that no bill of attainder, ex post facto
law, or any law impairing the obligation of contracts,
shall be made, nor vested rights be divested unless for
purposes of public utility, and for adequate compensa-
tion previously made. The Executive power is to be
vested in a Governor chosen for four years.
The sth section of that part of the Constitution having
reference to the "Judiciary" department of the State is
as follows :
The Governor shall nominate, and, by and with the
advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate, shall ap-
point the Judges of the Supreme and District Courts.
The editor of the Civilian is of the opinion that this
section will become a law, thus taking the election of the
judges from the hands of the people. The first section
of the " Legislative Department" provides that " every
free white male citizen of the United States, who shall
have resided in Texas one year preceding an election,
and the last six months in the country or town in which
he offers his vote, shall be a qualified elector. Indians
not taxed, and Africans and descendants of Africans ex-
cepted."
No Minister of the Gospel or Priest shall be a mem-
ber of the General Assembly.
The first election to be held on the first Monday and
the following day in November, 1846, and the election
shall be held on the same day in November every two
years thereafter. The Civilian remarks, that "it ap-
pears to be understood that a majority of the Conven-
tion are in favour of inserting a clause in the Constitu-
tion to prevent banks."
The following extract of a letter from Captain Grice,
of the Undine, gives an account of the landing of the
United States troops in Texas. It is dated
" ARAN*AS BAY, JULY 28, 1845.—0 n Saturday, the
26th instant, the American flag was first planted in Texas
by authority, upon the south end of St. Joseph's Island,
upon which I am landing the troops from the Alabama,
inside the bay. There are now 500 men encamped
here, and the scene is full of interest. The other ves-
sels with troops are not expected to arrive for several
days.
Dr. D. A. Perry, of Washington county, was murdered
recently by a negro, formerly the property of the doctor.
The negro was suspected, accused, confessed the deed
and has been hung.
According to the Civilian, the health of Galveston
continued remarkably good. The weather had been
dry, and rain was much needed.
A semi-weekly mail has been established between
Washington and Austin, to continue during the season.
Everything on the frontier is quiet.
The Georgetown D. C. Advocate has the following
paragraph :
" Rumours were plentifully rife yesterday, as to the
nature of a dispatch said to have been received on the
previous evening by the Government, from Texas.
From all that we have been able to learn, we suspect
that there is growing up in Western Texas, a state of
aft'airs as much the more serious than the Florida war, as
the field of action and the numbers and powers of the
Indian enemy there, are greater than was the case in
Florida."

FROM WASHINGTON.—We have not space this morn-
ing for the entire letter of our Washington Correspon-
dent. We give merely the following, which he sends as
a postscript. Of the authenticity of its statements we
have no means of judging, except from the character of
the writer :
WASHINGTON, AUG. 9, 1845.-1 have learned some
news which have an exceedingly warlike appearance,
and would appear to indicate that the Administration
has become possessed of information of the doings of the
Mexicans leading them to expect a declaration of war
and active hostilities. I learn that this morning there
were dispatched from the Navy Yard here, one hundred
and fifty boxes of muskets by the Southern boat, to go
through by the mail route to New Orleans, and one
hundred boxes in addition have been ordered to be
sent after them as quick as they can possibly be pre-
pared.
There have been also 350,000 ball cartridges ordered
to be prepared and forded by the same conveyance with
the utmost dispatch, as well as a number of gun-car-
riages and other military stores. So great is the hurry,
and so urgent the orders of the Government for the dis-
patch of these warlike stores, that I am informed the
workmen at the Navy-yard will be at work all day to-
morrow, although it will be Sunday ! This would seem
to indicate that the Administration are convinced there
is to be no joking, but an actual bond fide war.
A letter in the New Orleans Jeffersonian, written to
a gentleman in that city, says—
" VERA CRUZ, JAN. 13.—1 have to conclude this let-
ter in a hurry, as the news is just in town that war has
been declared against the Americans, and the vessels are
going off immediately, to prevent being seized."
The New Orleans Bee, of the 4th, has the rumour in
a postscript
" We were informed, last evening, that the Mexican
Government had come to the conclusion to stop all inter-
course with the United States, and has issued orders to
her various Government officers to that effect."
The same paper, of the sth, contains the following :
We were informed yesterday that an importing
house in our city had applied to the Mexican Consul to
know whether he could clear a vessel for one of the
Mexican ports on Thursday next, and that the reply of
the Consul was that after Wednesday he would be unable
to attend to any such business. As the duty of the
Consul in such cases is to countersign the manifest, his
refusal looks as if there were some truth in the rumours
of war now so prevalent."
The Tropic of the sth says of the same subject :
" The only rumour which appears at present to be well
authenticated, is one, that the Mexican Cansul has re-
ceived orders from h;s Government to withdraw imme-
diately from this country. What the exact nature of the
Consul's instructions are, we are not advised, but we
are informed, on what we believe to be excellent autho-
rity, that that functionary will close his office to-morrow,
and cease to exercise his duties."
