MExIco AND TRxAA
LATER FROM TEXAS.

The New Orleans Bulletin Of the
18th inst. says:-By the schooner She.
nandosh, Capt. Moore. which left We.
iaseo. Texas, on the 4th inst. we re.
ceive some more recent information
from that country. The Mexican for.
ces were about l20 miles distant from
The Texan army. which was con,inu-
ally augmenhng in numbers by the
daily ARRIVAL Of reinforcemen,s. Be.
tween the 9TH and 10Th, il 10 believed
there will be at least 500 additional
troops more, which will have effected
aJuncton with the main army.
The Texans are in fine spirits, the
whole population turning out en- u.asse,
and every man pushing forward with
aiacnty. eager TO engage with enemies
who are vainly boasting that they will
strew the earth with their rebellious
foes. In consequence Of large a.
mount Of the provisions. destined for
the Mexican army. having been inter-
cePted by some Texan troops, il is
supposed that the Mexicans will suffer
Wdut VI necessary SUD-
plies. These provisions. thus inter-
cePted, were the cargoes Of the Fanny
Butler and Wstchman. the vessels pub.
lished few days since, as being de-
tanned at Copano, where they were
still IN detention, when the Shenan.
doah sailed.
The Mexican forces about 5000
strong remain stationed at the Nucces
under the command Of Camera. Thi,
probably is not the whole number of
their army, but that portion OILY in
tended TO act in advance Of the main
body. The Texans have by this time
probably much upwards Of 1000 men.
We were apprehensive upon the arri.
val OF Gen. Houston, some difficulty
might grow out Of the appointment Of
Lamar to the command Of the army
II is believed, however, that there
would be no unpleasant feelings occa-
stoned. and that Lamar would WELD up
the command. should it be desired by
Gen. Houston.

Suicide

An inquest was held in New York
on the 23d ult.. on the BODY Of Jose oh
A. Mencel, who committed suicide by
shooting himself The deceased was
born in that part Of the Austrian do
minions which once formed part of Po-
land, and which was allotted TO the
Emperor Of Germany by the Holy AL
lance" who psrtitioned Poland. On
the first outbreaking Of the late gallant
but unfortunate struggle for independ-
ence, Mencel joined the ranks Of his
countrymen. and remained with them
until the modern Vandals Of Europe
again conquered the country Of Kos
cIusco.
He then took refuge in America.
where too morbid Sensibility, and. il
is feared. an absence Of any religious
feeling. rendered him unable to bear IN
against his expatriation and its conse-
quent evils, and caused him TO rush
unbidden. before his Maker" His an
Pearance and person bore all the out
ward marks Of his having belonged TO
what in Europe Is called the bette
class Of society.
Several pieces Of manuscript were
found in his room, which showed that
be was a man Of more than ordinary
talent, and we'll versed in the modern
literature Of Europe. Amongst these.
were several extracts from some of our
English poets, particularly from Byron,
which the unfortunate deceased had
translated into Italian and German. In
April last be wrote 20 his friends in Eu-
rope, informing them that when thew
received his letters. he should be no
more. Among his papers we're the
following:

GEN. SCOTT AND THE PRESIDENT.
With Major Gen. Scott we have held
no communication Of any sort since the
beginning Of the late troubles in the
South. As an officer OF the Army.
who has done the State some service
and as an accomplished gentleman, we
know and respect him. We regretted
to hear Of his recall from the command
on the frontier. and rejoiced that the
war was over before his letter of recall
reached him. II was with proportion
ate regret that we have within two DAYS
heard a rumor Of the cause and man
ner Of his recall, which were Of ma
ture discredilable 10 the Executive
We have not copied or given currency
to them, their strangeness having given
a character Of improbability to them.
From the official paper Of yesterday,
however, we learn that the story is
substantially true, strange as il seemed
to Us when we heard il. Mixed up
with other matter, we have IN the Globe
narrative of the circumstances which
attended the recall Of Gen. Scott. the
material part Of which consists Of the
subjoined document, Of which. il an.
pears, a copy was furnished TO Gen.
Scott. when lately IN this city. With.
out comment we submit il TO our read.

An informant Of the New Orleans
Bee states that few DAYS before he
left Texas, there was much indignation
expressed among the soldiery against
santa Anna-and that they had made
an attempt TO shoot him, but were pre-
vented by the timely interference OF
his guards. A pistol was fired at San
ia Anna but did him no injury. The
excitement arose from the fact of the
return ofthe Mexican army into Texas.
TO prevent any harm reaching him
from the enraged soldiery, his guard
has been doubled.
II is rumored that Santa Anna had
written to President Jackson, asking
him, or the government. to be his Sc
curly for any treaty which he may enter
into with the Texans. He is said 10
have informed them that they have no
reason TO apprehend an attack from his
countrymen, as he would issue a pro-
clamation that would induce them 10
evacuate, withou. striking a single
blow. The Texans, however, appear

word, and are preparing for every ext
gency. They are well supplied with
