FROM the tables it is to be inferred that even
IN huSsla manufactures are making considera
bic progress, from the increase in the amount
OF mportatlons ofraw produce coinciding with
the decrease of manufactured articles. Three
tourths OF the whole exports of Russian hemp
and more than threefourths of the exports Of
tallow are sent to England, without counting
the shipments for Ehsnore, which in the end
have the same destination.
Yours, &c. N.Y..
Accounts from the city Of Mexico, of the29th
June, state that Congress was still in session,
and that the treaty made between Santa Ana
and General Rusk.was then under considera
tion Another letter ofthe I'd July, is TO the
the following effect: That the force loan had
thrown all the foreign merchants into state of
alarm, and that they had protested against it
through their respective Ministers.
TEXAS.
We had heard q rr,mor last week which We did
did not credit for want of confirmation, that the
Texans had attacked the Mexicans and defeat
ed them, killing 900 without any loss OH their
part. The last accounts from New Orleans
represented the armies as within a days march
Of each other-the Texans confident of their
strength and burning for the conflict. Since
then We have received an Alexandria paper Civ.
ing the snine account of battle, which rumour
came in simultaneously from the Sabine and
New Orleans. A gentleman from Lafayette in-
forms US that he has conyersed with man di-
rect from Texas via the Sabine, who confirms
the rulnor. Upon the whole, we think it far
from improbable
MEXICO AND TEXAS.
The New Orleans Bee of 9Th of August con-
tains Proclamation of David G. Burnett,
President of Texas, declaring the Port ofMe.-
amoras, in state of Blockade, by the Texian
armed vessel Brutus, Terrible and Invincible.
The latest accounts state that the Mexican
Government have opened their ports to all kinds
of provisions, during the war, imposing an 0d
ra!orem duty of ten per cent another account
says forty per cent. The Blockade of Mata-
moras by the Texan cruizers does no: appear
to be very efficient Mexican and Ameri-
canvessels pass. There are rumours of threat
cned revolution IN the interior of Mexico. A
decree has been published .leyying a forced
loan, rot to exceed $20O0000 The Mexi-
can army is reported to be still inactive at
MatamOras.
The Texan elections take place on the first
Monday in October-Gen. 8. HI: Austin is
announced as a candidate for the Presidency.
A New Orleans paper Of the 4th inst says:
ut is confidently stated that the Mexican force
at Matamoras alone, exceeds 1900 men, now
that the heretofore scattered hordes are nearly
all concentrated together. Upon the whole, it
is evident that the Mexicans are fully deter
mined upon retrieving their lost fame by some
desperate effort.
NATcHITocH1s, (La.) July %.
News have reached us, stating that the Mex
lean army is again retreating to Matamoras,
in consequence of the Cholera having broken
out among them, and committing great destruc-
ton.
We learn from undoubted authority, that
several tribes Of Indians have collected on the
Sulphur Fork, in Texas, and preparing for hos
tilities, in behalf of the Mexicans.
Gen. Rusk has ordered the MEXICAN families
on the Guadeloupe and La Baca, and all these
who were likely to afford information to the
enemy, to retire upon the Rio Grande, or take
themselves off to Colorado. Gorbajalde Leon
and some others, intend making summer So
journ in New Orleans. Health to them! !.
