GEN. wILKINsON-TEXAs.

We have seen letter from Gen Wilkinson
dated at the City of Mexico, just received by a
gentleman OF this place, in which lie states, that he
has procureda grant for large tract OF land in the
Province Of Texas. and wishes to settle it with a
body OF honest and well disposed Americans. The
inducements which he holds out to emigrants are
very liberal ard advantageous
The General contemplates establishing Colony,
either at the Bay Of Trinity, 40 miles from Gal
veztown, or at Cyotcs Ferry, on the Sabine rive
10 miles from Natchitoches, and expects to COM
mence his operations in September next.
Gen. Wilkinson has devoted the greatest part
OF bis life 10 the service of his native country.
and is now reluctantly obliged, in his old age. TO
change his allegiance, by emisratins to a foreign
land, In order 10 make provision for his numerous
family.
We sincerely wish him prosperity and happiness
In his declining years-ard, although we have al
ways been opposed TO the blind nfatuation which
has led hundreds of American citizens to emigrate
TO Texas, we hope those who may Join him, NAV
meet with better success than has fallen TO the lot
OF large majority of those who have gone before

despatch, informed the President Of the United
States OF his determination to attempt the survey
OF the ceded Indian lards, which he was authorized

made as early as he should deem it advisable. In
adopting this course, GOV. Troup has not dsap-
