From the Albany Argus,


The steamboat Novelty came up last
evening in good season, bringing New
York papers of yesterday. They contain
later and important intelligence respecting
the condition of Mexico, and the prepara-
tons making to re-commence the war a.
gainst Texas, which it will be seen is to be
waged ON the part of Mexico, an concert
acith the Indians, with whom treaty had
already been concluded by Gen. Urea.
From the New York Journal of Commerce.
Letters received as New Orleans from a
respectable source dated at Metamoras, Ju-
ly LIST, say, that the Mexican government
have made or are making treaty with the
Cherokee Indians, to engage eight thou
sand to join them in their operations a.
gainst Texas, and that six oftheir chiefs are
in close negotiation with Gen. Urea, and
that letters to that effect have been forwar-
ded to Washington, and copies sent to Gen.
Gaines.
Extract Of letter, dated Metamorns, July I.
Dear Sir-Through the medium of your
paper, think it highly necessary that the
government of the United States, as well as
the TEXANS, should be informed of what
presents itself, so odious, in my opinion, in
the character of Gen. Urea, the Mexican
Communicating too objectionable to
be overlooked, and should be Immediately
attended to by the United States.
We have at this moment here 6 or 7
Indian chiefs, Cherokee, and other tribes,
with their interpreter from Texas. These
Ind, 10 81,
and have had several private meetings with
him. There exists no doubt of the bust
ness they came on, and have made propo-
sitions to the General to join the Mexicans
against the TEXANS, which appears now
to be concluded; as Col. Waterchea is to
be despatched to morrow to their camp,
some distance up the river, where they
have 80 or 40 in number to be used as
spies or runners. | had occasion to call
on Gen. Urea at his quarters on business,
when | met there three of the Indians
with their interpreter making inquiries Of
the strength of their tribe, the general be.
ing anxious to ascertain what force they
could muster with the other tribes.
The Commissary of this place has orders
to purchase 500 or 1000 horses for the
Cavalry, which he is now doing. Every
moment appears to confirm the belief thai
negotiation is concluded, with promise tc
the Indians of land and cattle, should they
assist and succeed in exterminating the
population of Texas.
The New Orleans Bulletin of the 9th
ult. contains the following paragraph:
A letter from highly respectable source
dated at Metamoras the Goth ult. says
at is an undoubted fact that this govern.
ment 1.-THE Mexican) have made, or are ma.
king a treaty to engage 5000 Indians to
Join them. The Cherokees are already en-
gagged. There are fourteen or fifteen
chiefs, of different tribes, within Q
few miles of here, who have daily commu
nication with the officers. The commits
sioners were this morning turned into the
common prison with criminals. 1t is no
improbable we shall be invited to take
French leave Of this country soon.
The New Orleans Bee of the same date
saws that letters from the same quarter
state "that six american Indian chiefs o
the Cherokee tribe, with forty runners, art
in close negotiation with Gen. Urea a
Metamoras. The letters have been sen
to Washington, and copies to Gen. Gaines
These letters came via Tampico.
