by the way Of New Orleans. The Texas expedition
against Tampico has failed and trenty-eigM prisoners

The most violent connections prevail in Mexico The
government of that country has undoubtedly called
upon General Jackson to interfere and prevent the
people of this country from sympathizing with their
brethren in Texas. About ten thousand blood hounds
are let loose in Texas aud unless aid is given The whole
colony will be covered with blood and rapine The

Cross-examined- Witness lives at l48 Suffolk street.
DIR. ID. l.. Rogers-was called on 18th September to
the body of deceased in Suffolk street-examined
the body-several slight wounds, mere scratches about
the body, the head much bruised-principaly the
back part of the head-a large quantity of blood
found between the skull and BRAIN about six
ounces-the blood proceeded from the rupture of two
large vessels which must have been occasoned by very
severe blows upon the head-on any part Of the head
a severe shock would have had the same effect-It
might proceed from pulling the body down steps,
over uneven surace-they were of a nature,
the blood still huid-the rupture of the vessels
and the flowing Of blood the cause of death-has
not the least doubt that the rupture caused the death of
deceased-the injury must have been recent for she
could not have existed long-one violent blow would
have effected the rupture Of the vessel.
