"MExIco, Oct l5.-The lst division Of the
Army, destined for Texas, has left the Capital
The I'd, division will be on their march in the
course of next week. 1t was feared that
some calamtous occurrences might ensue in
the city Of Mexico, on the departure Of the
troops alluded to, in consequence of some ex-
asperation of feeling existing against the
American portion of residents in the CITY,
Nothing of the kind, however, had transpired
up to the latest dates.
From the Advertiser of yesterday, we learn
that several expresses had arrived at Tanpi-
co, previous to the sailing of the schooner La
dy Hope, announcing the approach of the Tex
ian army to Matamoras, probably under the
command of General Rusk. If this rumor be
true, Matamoras will doubtless fall into the
hands of the TEXANS, and more important
place for their safety they could not take pos
session Of"
Ertract from letter from the American Con-
| sul at TobascO, dated
"ToBAsco, Oct Ave are quiet here at
this time, but do not expect long to remain so.
The Government is determined to throw the
country again into the hands of Spain, sooner
thar let the Federal party getmto power. They
thave sent Commissioner to treat with and
request that Spain will assist them for the
privilege of trade. These folks let no oppor-
tunitv pass to insult Americans"
INDIAN WAR.
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 10.
The Army is in motion for the field. The
last detachment LEFT Black Creek a day or
| two since. Col Pierce was ordered to be at
Fort Drane on the 9th inst, to proceed to the
nation They 60 gam to that charmed spot,
where nearly all our forces have met defeat,
the hlacooche,,-where Oseola, proud
monarch of the wilderness, reigns triumphant
While the prisons of many sorrowing heart
rise to Heaven for success to this attempt to
humble the Seminole, they fear lest it be like
others before it.
1t is stated in letter from an officer on the
western side OF the Peninsula, that Gen. Jes-
sup, having Dgreceiyed orders to assume the COM
mand in Florida, proceeded to st. Marks to
hasten and direct the movements OF the troops
and was then on the Withlacoochee. This ac-
counts for his delay in reaching Fort Drane.
Gov. Call will probably meet him IN the ma
ton.
There is said to be large supply Of provis-
ions on the Withlacoochee and at Tampa
Bay. There arc nearly 1000 Regulars, 1850
Tennesseeans, GOO or 700 Floridians, and 600
or 500 friendly Indians in the country.
Accounts of a late date state that the army
had passed the Withlacoochee. and found the
Indian villages deserted.
We learn with much pleasure that letters
