The Texian schooner Of war invincible,
Captain ]. Brown, returned a few days ago
from a cruise along the coast of Mexico,
without meeting with single armed Mexi-

The Invincible sent in challenge to the
Mexican brig ofwar Ell Vencedor del Alamo
and the other vessel lying at Vera Cruz,
which was not accepted on the pretext that
the crews of the gallant challenged, were
not in a condition to fight for want of pay.

From the N: o. Courier of Aug. 9th.
Mr.. III. NJ. Morfet, who was sent by the
U. States to ascertain the political situation
of Texas, and who had just returned from
the Sabine, we are requested to state, took
passage in the Julius Caesar from the Ba-
lie, on last to Brazoria.
1t appears that the powerful navy of
Mexico, as well as their Grand Armee, have
caught the patio, and to get another fight,
they must be sought for on terra tirma IN
their own country. The Invincible fell IN

sci, all bound to Vera Cruz.

When informed that it was the flag OF Tex

ATTEMPT TO RESCUE SANTA
ANNA.
The N, o. Buletion, of the 29th ul,., has
the following:
By the Caesar we also learn of the obor-
ton of plan concocted in our goodly city
for the purpose Of rcscuing from his thral-
dom. Santa Anna. The selfstyled Second
Napoleon is still, however, in durance vile
and the eager desire of his friends to release
him therefron, has only added TO the great.
er security Of his person.
Several individuals, it seems, recently left
our city in the schooner Passaic, with a view
of effecting the deiverance of the captive
and by placing him on board transport him
to some safe place of destination. All con-
cerned, however, have been arrested on the
charge and will themselves most probably
be made to endure confinement, not by
any means calculated to enlist the sympa-
thies of their countrymen.
Mexican gold may do much. and has
brought out instruments base enough to at
tempt the liberation of man, who has
proved himself unworthy of the name, but
has not as yet, and will not succeed in lu-
ling to sleep the Argus-eyed vigilance of
those who love their country, and have
within their power its most deadly enemy.
The captain and crew of the schooner
Passaic, it is stated, in a letter from Braz-
oria, of the 18th, had been apprehended on
charge of being concerned in plot TO ef-
feet the delverance of Santa Anna.
