Teras.-By q gentleman who arrived m this town the day before yesterday, land who left San Felipe de Austin on the l7th ult., We learn that the Courier from the interior arrived at San Felipe
 on the l7th, bringing d copy of a law passed by the Mexican Government Oil 1 the 9th of April, which prohibits citi-
 zens of the United States from enigFst- ling to any of the Mexican Territories bordering on the United States. The prohibition is confined to citizens of Me
 Oflted States, which circumstance seems
 to sayor little of the influence of John
 Bull. Our informant states that the Colonists trust that the law will he re-
 pealed, and that no considerable inter ruftien to eifii grafton will bbe bbe expert
 enced. ltis certain thatthose who have already received certificates from Aus 1 tin cannot be molested from emigrating. Eslnee no law can effect legal contract, or act as an er post facto fasp. The Go lonists of Texas are attached, says our informant, to their Government, and
 will iiFeFe . corner stone to the Riseptib- Ike if the protection which has been thus far extended to them, be not withdrawn; Ebut they are nevertheless confident of their ability protectthemselves should
 defence become necessary.
 This gentleman represents the road
 from San Felipe to Nacogdoches to be
 very good, with ferries overall the large
 water courses, and houses sufficiently
 near to each other to enable the travel
 Ter to find shelter every night. From
 Naeogdoches to Natchitoches, the road
 is passable for a carriage, butnota at this
 season geed-E22essda Gdzetis.
 Trial of Iushiad.-The trial of the
 Indian Chief, Tuskina, on charge of
 stopping and detaining the U. States
 Mall, took place in Mobile on the Eth
 May. It appeared from the testimony, that the affair had been considerably
 exaggerated; that it was not Tuskina's object to use anyviolence; ;he first hailed the driver with view to send mes. 1 fsage to Capt. Walker on the subject of
 tolls due the nation for passage through
 their lands. Tusl<ina being very much intoxicated, the driver not attending to
 his call, and the passengers speaking
 roughly to him, placed himself before the stage, and attempted to take hold or the reins, and made a pass at the
 driver with common jack knife. The
 passengers then became alarmed and
 advised the driver to stop. The stage
 was not detained by the prisoner, but
 by the extraordinary terrors and appre-
 hensions of the passengers. A bill of indictment was preferred, containing two counts, one for feioniously attempt ing to stop the Mail-the other for
 knowingly and w!:haalillyy w:aallyy bbsttruettile its passage. The aee Grand Jury ignored the first count, and found true bill on the Esecond. On this a conviction was had. and the prisoner was fined by the Court
 in the sum of enc hundred doilars.
 We learn, that a Convention of h. demnlty, in relation to the long pending claims of citizens of ttiile ttiile United States, upon the Government of Denmark, and for the adjustment and satisfaction of them, was concluded and signed on the twenty-eighth of March last, at Copen- hagen, by Mr. Henry Wheaton, Charge d'Afaires near the Government of Den mark, on the part of the United States, and by Count Schimmelman and Mir. Steemann, the Plenipotentiaries of His Danish Majesty, ratification of which was yesterday advised and consented to by the Senate. We understand that it awaits only the preparation of the ne- cessary forms to be ratified by the Pre-
