Gen. HousToN and SANTA ANA's former
friendship their contemplated con-
qest of Texas and Mexico.
Strange and incredulous as such a
relationship aud design may seem, il
is nevertheless to US almost unques-
tionably true, that Gen. Houston and
Santa Ana, some 5 or 6 years ago,
were on most intimate terms, and con
templated with faith Of success, the
conquest OF Texas, and thereby that OF
Mexico--"Yes," said Gen. Houston

Information, III will revel in the pala-
ces Of the Mon,ezumas !''-Oar infor-
mant says that Santa Ana was al,
Washington with Gsn. Houston, the
year that the latter had an alteration
with Hon. Mr.. Stansberry Of Ohio.
Santa Ana was then driven from Mex
leo, by the success OF his rival, and
while he and Gen. Houston were en-
deavoring to effect loan Of three mil
lions Of dollars for the conquest on
Texas, a committee arrived at Wash
ington, from Mexico, informing Santa

the contemplated conquest. But how
feeble are human calculations ! Hous7
ton by no means abandoned the idea
Of "rioting in the palaces of the Mon
tezumas.p Santa Ana returned to
Mexico, became brilliant king Of
rich and powerful people, a successful
soldier in war inspeace, revealing a.
mid the Injuries Of one OF the richest
and most brilliant courts Of the EARTH
Amid this tide Of successful glory,

Of marshal glory, attempts single han.

long from a lofty throne Of regal splen-
dor, chained slave at the feet Of the

the affairs of human life ! How feet
ingland perishable its glories
Houston was to have gone into Tex
as and kindled the fire of rebellion,
whilst Santa Ana fired his friends Id
Mexico with the same spirit they
were to declare for Houston, and thus
united, it was thought they could sue
coed and easily would all this hags
happened, as Santa Ana's popularity
was nearly equal, g. as it soon proved,
even overbalanced his ,enemyi; but
he succeeded without Houston's aid,
who was left grieved and mortified
soldier, soon however: to meet bril-
liant reverse, crowning him with,
garland Of imperishable fame, eompst-
ed to the miserable achievement Of d
ven conquest Of the palaces ofAhs
Montszum1s. Our Informant eysn
tells US that Gen. Houston read to him
bis proclamation 10 the people Of Tex
as, promising them lands, &c. &c. 10
case of a successful revolution. Strange
and romantic as this may seem, those
knowing General Houston's impetuons|
and daring character, must give it cre-
dence-we doubt not the eorrectnsssI
of the intended conquest.
1t is thought from former friendship,
that Gen Houston, if consistent with
the rules of war and interest of Texas,
will pr otect the person of Santa Ana.
Every policy suggests such q measure
at present. II, however, it be ascer-
tanned that Santa Ana ordered the in
human butehery Of the gallant Tanning
and his compasriots, and Gen. Hous-
ton should permit him to escape, bic
own head should pay the forfeit.

municates US the following extraordi-
nary and distressing intelligence.
While Mr.. William Walker at Speed.
we'll, Ciaibourne county, an elderly
gentleman, was making fence he dis.
covered large spider, which he killed
with stone. In afterwards prosecu.
ting his work, he had occasion TO han.
die the same stone. A modification
shortly afterwards commenced in his
hand g. increased until itprodaced his
death 10 s or 10 days. Al the time he
handled the stone, he had a slight sore
on bis hand 10 which the modification
afterwards commenced, which was
supposed to have came in contact with
some poisonous matter from the spider
left on the stone. DR.. William Rog-
ers, who attended Mr.. Walker, and
who also had sore finger, died with a
modification, in four days after it vas
first discovered that his finger was
affected. Our correspondent further
informs US that a number Of those who
assisted in laying out Mr.. Walker have
been seriously af1icted--some are now
very low, but only the 2 deaths above
mentioned had taken place.
