INVASION OF MEXICO BY GEN.
GAINES. A letter from an officer in the
army, published in the Army and Navy
Chronicle. explains what is apparently
the motive for the advance Of the troops of
the United States, to Nacogdoches, in the
Mexican territory, 1t is to create the
impression in Texas and in MexiLo, that
the government Of the United States takes
part in the controversy. 1t is in fact
lending to the cause Of Texas all the aid
which it can derive from the countenance
and apparent support Of the United States,
besi1es placing our troops in situation to
take an actual part in aid of the Texans,
IN case reverse Of their affairs should
render aid necessary. The pretext the
anticipated invasion from the Indians in
that quarter is unsupported by the least
probable testimony, although Gen Hous-
ton has issued proclamation, dated a.
Nacogdoches, ordering out body of2O9
Texan militia, "tO sustain the United
States force at this place until rein foree-
mcnts can Grrire at this place from Gen.

Mexico AND TExAs.-A correspon.

as follows, from Nachodoches under date

''Let what will be the result ofthis in
reference by the United States, the peace
of Texas is efectualy broken I'D for a
long period of years. The old cultivators
who went there to make cotton and sugar,
and in whose name the insurrection be-
gan, are Disguised; their influence has
sunk under the overbearing spirit Of the
adventures that have focked into the
country. These, too, are dissatisfied
and many have gone back again. There
IS no discipline; all is confusion and in
subordination. In the mean time the
Spectators, who expect to derive great
advantages in the end, circulate fine sto-
RES about their army, and about the cow
ardice Of the Mexicans. Ispoke lately

Mexico and New-OFleans. and he saws
the Mexicans are making preparations of
great magnitude, and that what thew are
doing is doing well; that they win have
a strong naval force in the Gulf al the
beginning Of November, when the Tex
ans will have employment enough. II is
his opinion, that Mexico, if necessary.
would continue the struggle for twenty
years, and L verify believe that the peace
Of Texas IS utterly broken up for a long

advantage from its possession" d.
