Ezsrse. efa letter from Nacogdoehfs:
The Mexican expedition has COM
pletoly failed. A battle took place the
18th Aug. about Is miles West OF st.
Antonio, which ended in the totsl de.
feat and dispersion of the Revcluti"n's's-
A horrid carnage ensued, not single
person taken on the first day was spared.
Gen. Elesonds pursued the fugli'es,
and is now in Nacogdoches. All the
Americans who fell into his hands were
treated very kiadly and furnished with
arms and ammunition for the pur-
pose Of killing gamo on their return TO
the United States. Gen. Elesondo, said
publicly that it was the intention of his
government to open a free commerce
with the United States.
In the battle Of the 18th the Royalists
were commanded by brigadier general
Arredondo ano WAS supposed to be $500
strong, amongst whom were 500 regu.

licans, about $50 Americans and 700
Spaniards. The day was lost by insu.

GRECIAN ANTIQUITIES.

A few months since. as a labOrer
was tilling in field in the vicinity of
Bordeaux, the ploughshare struck
against something hard. On exa
mining the spot. he found that it was
q brick. which had been partly de.
taehsd from what seemed to he the
outside of a vault. He took up the
brick, and perceived that his con-
lectures were we'll founded. and im-
nediately inforiaed the owner OF the
estate Of his discovery. WOrkmen
were employed to effect an opening
through the top. and square barry
ing Diaee was found which contained
two collins made Of the finest mar
bic of Paris, and lying along side
each other. On opening them. the
we'll preserved bodies OF a man and
woman appeared. which must have
lain here nearly two thonsaad wears.
as the inscriptions in Greek charac-
tiers on the luar,le announced, taat
they were the bodies of Graeian
Prince AID his wife, who in former
ages, had formed IA settlement on
these coasts bevond the Pillars OF
Hercules. These aniiquated re-
mains of fraii mortality were CON-
mittea to their pareat dust : but the
eoffins. which are Of the most ex-
quisite Workmanship. were showa
for the qualification of the curious.
The French government. having
heard ofthe discovery, offered 12o,
600 franks (5e80l. sterling) to its
possessor, intending TO remove the
marble ,srcophagi to the imperial
museum ; but he refused that sum,
fancying he would obtain higher
terms il he exported them to Eng
land.
