information direct and later from Natanuras
This confirms the intelligence conveyed by the d"cu

orders tru, Santa Anna fix his head quarters at San
Antonio; and there rally his troops for the invasion Of
Texas Our correspondent States that Santa Anna had
written letter to Matanioras bcasting that III less than
