MEXICO AND TEXAS

By a letter received in Elizabeth City, N.C. from an
officer in the Texan navy (a native of North Carolina), of
the 6th May, it is stated that the Texan government had
given Mexico until the Ist of June to acknowledge the inde-
pendence of Texas, and if they (the Mexicans) fail to do so
by that time, the Texans intend to send their whole navy
down on the coast of Mexico, and wage an offensive war
against that country.
This intelligence came to the officer above alluded to,
direct from Commodore Moore, the commander-in-chief of
the Texan navy, who was immediately from the seat of
government. _

From the Austin Sentinel of the 9th ult., we copy the fol-
lowing important news from the west :—An express arrived
in this city on Sunday, bringing a confirmation of the defeat
of the central forces at Guerrero. Colonel Zapata, as before
stated, was taken near Mear, by Gen. Arista, and at first
well treated, but subsequently decapitated, and his head
stuck upon a pole and placed in front of his own house at
Guerrero. This provoked the resentment of a brother of
Zapata, who raised about four hundred rancheros, and the
central army having divided into several parties, cut them all
to pieces.

CHILI AND PERU.
CALLAO, MARCH 18, 1840.---Since my last repects, via
Panama, some events have transpired worthy of note, viz.,
that a war with Bolivia is inevitable, provided General Ga-
marra, our present incumbent and usurper, placed by force in
the Presidential chair by the Chilians, should retain his po-
sition. As I before intimated, the Bolivian Ministers has
received his passports, and is to leave in a few days. As yet
we have no direct information from Bolivai, as to the steps
she will take in this affair, but the known and most uncom-
promising hostility evinced by the Bolivians against the ad-
ministration of Gamarra, precludes the probability of any re-
conciliation in our affairs until this usurper is banished from

our shores

ex-President of Peru, was still at Quito, watching with in_
tense anxiety every move in Bolivia, which was in a most
distracted and unsettled state; and recent occurrences show
that he had there a most powerful party who were every

immediate return. This- was the general opinion in
