The Texan Commissioners, MessrS. I. w. Grayson,
and James Congswor,h, OF whose ARRIVAL by Inc mag
pendence have already given notice lett thus city or
Washington Yesterday evening, in the steamboat Soui'
erner The object of their mission is gencIay nhder'
stood be for The purpose Of negotiating the ackhoW
ledpment of Texas US lndependeit nation, ny Tie
J;rIied States We will we trust, have ere long to an
nounce the complete OF their patriotic ana hgi'
| minded cndcavors. -,
We are authorized to state, the authority OF the
T.yian Commissioners, just arrived from Felasco, the
present scat of Government Of Texas, that on the -
day of last month"; agreement in the nature OF an ar
mstice entered into between the Government oil
Texas and General Antonio Lopez de Santa anna, The
substantial stpultons of which the part oil the latter
were that all the Mexican forces then in Texas should
forthwith evacuae the country passing beyond The o
Bravo del Noe; that all property taken 10y any portion
of The Mexican army from Texan citizens, at any time
since the commencement Of the late invasion, should be
forthwith rcslord that all Texan prisoners in the hands
of the enemy should be Immediately SET al liberty for
and in consideration of corresponding number OF ex
can prisoners in the hands of the Tcxlans and finally
that there should be for The present cessation OF all
hoslcS both by land and sea.
Among the minor stipuations OF the agreement was
one given BY Gen Santa Anna, personally, that he would
not himself take up arms cause them to be taken up
against the people Of Texas, during their struggle toI
independence.
We are further authorized 10 state that in compliance
with the stipulation for the evacuation of the country
all the Mexican forces actually Tetreung as last as
possible having when they wereasl heard from, already
passed beyond San Antonio and Gollad under the com
mand of Gen Flasoa, who, whilst being next IN rams
to Gen Santa Annn had on receiving copy OF the ar
slice passed his official engagement to obey its terms
so far as they applied to him.
From this state OF things, VIC would ourselves lniel
that additional volunteers from this country ut the pre-
sen, time are not needed particularly the season
the year quite unpropous to foreigners and provisions
in the Republic, owing to its late hesroyers. and o.hc
causes are amen,ably scarce and likely to connnc sc
for few months 10 come. We do therefore, urge it az
our own serious opinion to all those whose magnanimiiy
would prompt them forthwith to fly to the further r. lr
the country thai they would do well to postpone their de
par,ure for while, least until there shall be some
change of The present condition things, which just now
would seem authorize the addition Of many more
consumers to those already in the country AT all
il pretty evident there will little more fighting
Texas for months; and such being the case, ant
taking the scarcity Of provisions which
must necessarily exist there from the effects of the lat
campaign, casnot avoid reitcrang our advice that
at least for time to come, there shall be no fur
| Their emigration OF volunteers TO that country.
