aud The public spirit is eUch thae mo-
ney aud men will not Sc wanting TO
carry on the war. A powerful stroke
now 10 favor of Texss would be their
prcnouncing for the Constitution Of the
year l824,by that measure they would
bring TO their side the majority of the
republic. 1t ia we'll known that be.
fore the year is out, separation Of
these northern states will be effected,
and then Texas, if she wishes TO be
free, win have to cope with but small
portion of the country, and tho; party
will be glad to join with them.
Dispatches have come from Mexico
to Felisoia, insiructing him to grant TO
the colonists OF Texas, all and every
thing they demand, even their lode
pendence, which he IS authorised to
recognize under power from the 60
vernment. Now it is known that all
The papers and documents relative to
the same are written and signed by
TorneI, aud the plan is that Gen. Fee
lisola grant every thing to gain time,
and liberate Santa Ana and the other
prisoners, which the Texians will do,
seeing that Feiisola is empowered 10
treat. with them. But afier the object
is attained, the government will not be
bound to lhe contract, under the plea
that Tornel is not the government, and
even Felisola will be brought in trail
tor m eanwhile money is raising in
Mexico for forming another army
more than sufficient has already been
procured, men will be wanting, but
with money they will be had.-On no
account should they let Santa Ana GO,
and above all trust TO nothing that
Felisola or any other agent of govern
ment may promise them. There is no
doubt that 10 4 months 10000 men
will be on the frontier of Texas. The
government has taken the engage menl
never to recognise their iBdepeud nee,
and to sustain the integrity of their
territory.
There is but one voice among the
Mexicans here, which is to have Santa
Ana shot Immediately, and for the
preservation Of Texas ii ought TO be
done. The murder Of The AIT men OF
prisoners al La Bahia, was executed !
by cowardly minion Of Santa Ana,
by the name of DoG Nicolas de Ia Por
tilla V. Garay. The person who was
commissioned TO see the foul deed ex.
secuted was Don Pope Minnon, des- |
patched to the place of execution.
Gen. Vial Fernandez has orders from |
the government 10 raise 1000 men II
his department Immediately. Urea |
is on his way TO this place with 800 |
men now at the Nuecs or Sau Particle.
Gen. Fiasola with 1000 at Glada-
loupe. The above, and foregoing plan
to deceive the Texans is correct and
may be relied on.

From Mexico.

The Pensacola Gazette of June 18th
contains the following article, from
which it will be seen that the contest is
| not yet ended in Mexico. o..t.
NAvAL.-The United States cutter
Jefferson, under the command Of cap
tain Jackson, arrived here on the 18th
instant, twelve days from Tampico.
All intercourse was forbidden there be.
tween vessels of war and the shore.
Merchant vessels are permitted TO en-
ter the harbor, but not to depart. This
seems TO be the. case at present, at all
the Mexican ports. While the Jsffcr-
son lay off the harbor, intelligence was
received at Tampico Of the capture of
General Santa Ana. The Gags of,he
vessels in port, 81 Of the fortifications,
we're hoisted at halfn,asss in sign of
mourning for the event.,
Active preparations we're making to
assemble a large military force to
march upon Texas. Every depart
.ment of Mexico was requiredte furnish
i,s quota of troops for this service, to
be assembled at Melamoras. Much
excitement prevailed among the inhab-
i,ants Of all classes. approximations
were entertained that Santa Ana and
his fellow.prisoners had been put to
death by the Texans, and resolutions
were publicly adopted and promal-
gated by the provisional GoveFnmeat,
that no act or concession of Santa Ana
to the Texans, while prisoner should
be regarded as valid. Capt. jackson
was not even permitted 10 eommuni-
cate with Mr.. Robertson, our Consul
at 'rampico, except through the COM
manding General, Comes.
COL. TANNING YET ALIVE.
/. will be feeoHected that Santa Ana
declared to his eaptors that Colonel
flaming had not been put to death.
The following article from The Psasa-
cole Gszstte confirms his declarations
Captain Tiesuvan, Of HE Texan
army, passed through this place on his
way from Texas 10 South Carolina, on
Tuesday last. Captain T. was With
Tanning when he was captured, and
was one of the only three or four who
escaped the massacre. He gives some
particulars connected with this melan-
choly and disgracelul tragedy, which
we had not before heard. Ii seems the
Texian prisoners were marched ou.
and formed in line before they had
any intimation Of the fate whish await
ed them.
After they had been disposed 10 The
manner bes, suited TO the object which
the Mexican commander had 10 view,
that officer, with much apparent emo.
ton, announced to the prisoners tina,
it was his painful duty to haze them
all shot, and recommended 10 ,hem 10
make their peace with heaven. A few
only survived The IRE OF The Mexicans,
and ameng ..aem was our informant,
who cuntriyed, under cover of the
s..ioke, to break through the Mexican
outpos,s aud make mis- escape. In
company with kentockian, whose
name is not given, he wandered thTo'
the woods and prairies for several
days, and at Iength reached The army
Of Gen. Houston. Captain T. states
positively that Colonel flaming was
not among. the slain, but with a physi-
clan OF bis own force, was preserved,
and is still a prisoner with the Mexi-
cans.

IMPORTANT TO TEXAS.

The letters which we publish from Me-
iamoras, under date of May esd, will be
found to contain some important sugges-
tons, and particularly to those deeply
interested that the good work already SO
far affected by the Texans, should not
by any untoward event be rendered alb
or've. We fully coincide with the wri-
ter, that no reliance should be placed on
tAy.auslble overtures of the Mexcans,
defining as he does their duplicity Of
character would render such confidence
extremely prejadical and dangerous.
MsTAMoaAs, May 2s, 1885.
Sill am very sorry TO see the
iex'ans 80 completely eu!led or lull-
ga 10 steep by fair words from Santa
ana or other persons /; are they not
sumciensiy acquainted with the Mexi-
can Character, to know there is no de.
pendence on their word on the mos,
trivial occasion, and ore no. al any
time to be trusted. Since the Texas
pe05!s have declared themselves In
dependent, they have made Themselves
enemies with the whole country, they
must crush aEi annihiaie the remains
Of The invading army; secure the gen.
erai officers, and begin early their plan
Of loEs6calions. The private feeling
of the government Is, that Santa Ana
SHOULD perish sooner than the Texans
should be Independent. Above all
yrey mus! beware If overlures tina,
VIII be made TO them by 40 agent of
government. The impending revoIu.
Iioa IN favor of Federation will have
40 thscl towards their welfare. Parties
wilt oe divided here as regards their
political creed, bun all are united az
regards the Independence of Texas,
