The Secretary ofthe NAVY arrived in

Noeember 30.-The Editors have in
formation OIL which they can rely, that the
consequences of the rash invasion of The
Spanish territory, by handful of men
from The American lines, are proving to
be snch as might naturally have been ex-
peeled. Alter The dispersion ofthese men,
those settlers in T.xas who had associat-
ell with them were lett in most piiiable
conulllOn. All the American settlers have
been Obliged 10 crossOver to this side the
line, aud leave behind them the fruits of
their industry and The hopes oftheir fam
liies. The Spauiards from ST. Antonio,
i7OC strong, with six pieces of cannon,
were, about the LIST of tins month, near

Province. Gen. Long had gone TO Lafiite's,
at Galveztown and II was considered
unsafe for him TO return by the route by

as composed the expedition, il was impos-

Secretary Calhoun, give reason to believe
that he will within 10 or l5 days be suti-
ciently recovered to travel, unless a relapse
should take place.

expeditions for those purposes fitting out
from our ports, or of prizes brought in.
We are sorry for the situation of these
unfortunate and probably misguided men :;
