Events ~ THE VEST IND SOETH
We have thrown Il great variety Of articles, touching
Texas, Florida, ana the Greeks, upon preceding
columns. We have later accounts concerning Texas and
a few additional items from the Creek country. We
place them in this form before readers:
TEXAS.
We have received The n Orleans Bee from the 18th to
the I3lh inclusive The Bee of the tn states that Dan
Lorenzo de Zayala the Vice President of the Republic,
is now ambassador from Texas TO Mexico.j with the
proposals peace made by Santa Annaand that he may
attempt to carry out his avnrte scheme of forming
new Federal Republic ci the Mexican States northward
OF 81 dcgrers-viz Texas and Chahui!a, Chiluahac,
and aoest,cayd to the Pacific Ocean, Tarnaulpas, New
Leon, Durango San Luis, Zacatecas and Jalsco. The
Bee Predicts however, that he will laand appears to
hope that Texas may yet form State Of our Federal Re-
pubic.-To which cordially answer, Amen.
The French side Of the Bee of the llth also states
the report that Santa Anna has bhn set at Liberty pa
roie and predicts the most fearful consequences from
such misplaced policy. IL describes him man with
out faith and above all law disposed 10 weak his
Yenge upon the Teyians and array the whole force
Of Mexico against the corpOrals guard Of Texas
The Bee OF the 18th inst. however, contradcts this
story about Santa Anna, and is silent about Zavala.-
The French side of the paper gives the following intel
lgcnce much fuller than the brief paragraph the Eng
