31usi, F2caLLsNT SENOR.—It being necessary that the
troops of the line should cover the frontiers of the repubho,
and march towards Texas to conquer that department. now
usurped by the United States; His Excellency tio- 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 c-n
be collected in defence of the laws, to be reedy to serve as a
safeguard of their respective departments, accordins to the de-
cree of the 4th of June of this year, and the regulation of the
Ith inst.
. Your Excellency will communicate to the Governors this
supreme resolution, and will inform them of the elvigations
under which the citizens are to contribute to the defence of
their country, and to sustain rights, violated by a nation whichrefuies •to acknowledge them, and obliges Mexico to maintain
therti.by force, which it most undoubtedly will or fall in the
struggle:-.. She will rot 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,

LATER FitpAt TEXAS.—Gatveston 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 National Register
:
contains the following
AUSTIN, Juttlg;lB4s.—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 advo2ating some .measure,
introduced into his remarks a comparison rather die...,
paraging to the Mexican nation, at which the " deputy"
from Boxer took fire, and demanded if the remarks were
intended as personal ' • to which Davis rejoined, by de-
nying that he had said what was alleged. The Seat of
Government question, I think, is destined to raise a row,
the " West,' having divided upon it between Lagrange
and Austin.
The various Committees in the Convention have re-
. ported different previsions for a State Constitution.
They are publishertat length in the Galveston papers.
The Bill of Rights declares that no religious test shall
ever be required ; that no persor; 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 Governorchoson 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. shell ap-
point the Judges of the Supreme and District Courts.
The editor of the Civilian is of the opinion that th;s
section will become a Jaw, thus taking the eleetien of the
judges from the hands of the people. The first section
of the " Legislative Department" provides that " every
free white nestle citizen of the United States, who shall
have resided in Texas one year preceding an election,
and the last six months it, the country or been n which
he ()Hera his vote, shall be a qualifled elector. fe'iians
not taxed, and Africans and descendants of Afreans ex-
cepted."

Isle 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 • underitood that a majority of the Conven-
tion are in favour of. inserting a unitise in tlo:,

br. D. A. Pony, of Washington county, was murdered

The Georgetown D. C. Advocate has the following
perngraph
" 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 W.,stern Texas, a state of
affairs as much the more serious than the Florida war, as
the field of action ;Ind the numbers and powers of the

Florida:"
