The New Orleans Bee Of the 18th

account from Texas. received by the
Gen. DE kAlb from Brazoua, whence
she sailed on the Sd instant.
On the 23d ul,. Col. Planning had
sent out scouting party u abos, 90
men: they were nassscred. On the
18th. no sent out diminishing party
OF 100. they were also cut of. lie
then resolved to destroy the fort Of Co
lad. burn the town, and cut bis way
through the enemy encamped in his
neighborhood. ~ his provisions failed.
and bis garrison had diminished to 800.
But in attempting this. he was sur
rounded by the Mex,cans. aud COM
PEELED to capitulate and lay down his
arms--siter which. with characteristic
treachery, he and ell were shot.
The detachment of volunteers from
Ceorg,s under Maj. Ward. has been
also cut of. with the exception Of three
persons. one Of whom had arrived in
Brazoris before the De Kalb sailed.
On the 18th ult. General Houston
found il necessary or convenient TO re-
treat twenty miles resrward from the
Colorado river, ~ one wing Of the
Mexican army had arrived on the OPP
pc,ite bank. The Mexicans were I'D
vAneing in two columns-one upon
General Hossion and the other tow ards

The army under Houston was post
Cd near the Brazos river on the 18th
ult., and contained about 1000 men;
that column Of the Mcxicans opposed
q him had then crossed the Colorado,
and numbered about 8. 900. The Tex
ians think and Houston has determin-
ed that the enemy shall never re-cross
the Colorado. and We thiak and trust
that they shall mol pass the Brazos.
The Texans have actually become
desperate from the massacres. and sit

burned San Felipe de Austin; and
destroyed all The country III their re-
treat. They have sent hi,her their
women and children, with whom the

They have resolved in case Of necessi-
~ to burn Brazoria and Bells landing
