arrived Yesterday from Texas, we have
information that renders It very doubt.
ful whether the Mexican Army will
really now prosecute further operations
for the present at least against Texas.
From Texan spies sent for the pur-
pose Of accommodating the enemy, IT is
ascertained that the Mexican army has
not advanced and that It's numbers are
continually diminishing by descrtion.
By the latest accounts from Texas.

for greater security, carried under a
strong guard 10 Nacogdoches. IL is

and provisions. and with force sufficient
TO repul,e the invaders with great
Slaughter. Santa Anna had conveyed

ION, that the conquest Of Texas was
impossible, and tia, the independence
Of Texas should be recognised.
