A gentle man now in hi, ciiy, snd late from

es,sbiished near Trinity river, in the province
OF Texas, continues to. receive, almost daily,
volun, Gers; that IL the force augments, for
one year longer, ~ the proportion ], has for
some timc past, there can be no doubt they
will have a concentration at this point adc-
quste to strike a, once for the Eber stion Of
Mexico, srd folly equal to cope with the

II this information is correct, land we have
90 reason to doubt il) Mexico is destined, at
no distant day, to assume 90 imposing sttit-

this, very probably, under the direction of
some military aspiran,, who, with tho sinews

Of applicants for pensions under the oct Of

wholly removed. The applicasioos for pen

possible. When claims to peosions are ad
