| LATEST FROM TEXAS.
 The Nalchez Courier os Feb. 23d, says: The following Is from the Donaldsongille 1 La Eagle of the 18th inst.
 "ife learn from q respectable person, ar rived here, that the Cuaaaehe and several other tribes of Indians, have declared war against Texas, and will second tue opera lions of Gen. Santa Anna, who is now ad- vancing on St. Antonio at the head of 5000 men, and 25 pieces of artillery The h. dian force, it Is said, amounts to 10000 warriors, ard 5000 cavally. This report IaecoFds perfectly aith the departure of the Gih regiment ef uailed States lreops from Jefferson barracks, for the Mexican irou- tier, where they are to be joined by Gen. i sfalnes, who $ 10 take the commando 1 The disadecti0n of the Camanche h. dians is also stated in an article which we published on Tuesday last;-acearding 10 the Afkaasas Advocate, they had torn up i the Treaty lately entered into hy them with I the commissioners of the United States, and exhibited hostile attitude.
 i If this rumor prove correct, which God forelend, then indeed the friends of Texian liberty have every thing 10 fear--a bloody and savage war Tnast easue, tEla conse- ] lqnences of which wiIl be terrible, and may forever seal the chd4ce of Texian indepon- denee.
 Santa Anna, perhaps, has offered the numerous hordes of Indians who inhabil our frontiers and those of Mexico, the whole Of Texas as | reward for their ser- vices, in case ahey should expel the colo niats, Ibis measure would be polite on his part, as t would crush all that vestige Of liberty which is so rapidly diffuslng It. self among bis coqntrymen, and which eve- fy moment threatens 10 hurl him from his asllrped power-besides t would put stop to all future American enterprise in that quarter. The Indians he could easily in- duce o.become his allies, and use them ei- ther as means to granfy his ambition or re- Yenge.
 The frontiers of Louisiana and Arkan- sas would require q large force to keep the Indians in awe; and even then be subject to their depradetory incufsions. Don Miguel Corlenos, of Nacogdoches, Texas, has just arrived from among the ] Ghefolsees, bringing information, that his brother, Gortenos, Is now commissioned by Sen. Cos, to excite these Indians to ap immediate attack on the Texians, and Is actually in their camps urging them to the deed. Miguel Cortenos, demanded lis brother as prisoner of war, the Chiefs and head msn refused, declaring that they would defend him and his cause to the last ex- tremity.--Nacog7ocheg, Ts@ag, Jan. 2.
