FROM TEXAS.
New ORLEANS, Nov. IL.

By the passengers OF the steamer Le-
uant, Just arrived from Natchitoches,
we learn that some officers of the Tex
an army had arrived at that town from
the Camp of Labaca, returning to their
homes. The Texan Government be-
ing unable TO acquiesce with the de-
mands Of the volunteers, or to provide
for their maintenance on account OF
the great scarcity Of provisions and
pecuniary embarrassments, had Come
to the decision of disbanding them, kee-
ping however on foot seven hundred
men of the regular army, which, sup
ported by the local militia and the ma
Wy, were calculated more than sufficient
to defeat any attempt Of the Mexlcans
to second invasion. Negotiations
were carrying on with Santa Ana,who
was now a. large in his confinement,
and it was reported at Sabaria that the
cabinet took into contemplation an ex-
petition against Metamoras.
FROM THE N. ORLEANS BULLETIN NOV. l l.
a division of the Mexican army, az Z
is learned from private accounts from
the city of Mexico up to the 18th ult.,
left that city about the 18th for the in
vasion ofTexas. A large number Of
sappers, miners, pioneers, &c. it ap-
pears we're attached to the division, and
will, in all probability, effect much,un-
til coming in contact with the forces Of
Texas, who will impatieatiy await their
arrival, and it may be limit the opera
tons Of their invaders to the districts
west ofthe Colorado. II was feared
that some calamitons occurrences
might ensue in the city Of Mexico on
the departure Of the troops alluded to,
in consequences ofsome evaporation Of
feeling existing against the American
perten OF residents in the city. Moth
ing of the kind, however, had .ranspir-
ed up to the latest dates.
From the Advertiser of yesterday, we
learn that several expresses had arriv'd
at ;Tampico, previous to the sailing OF
the Lady Hope, announcing the ap-
preach of the Texan army to Metamo-
ras, probably under the command OF
Gen. Rusk. II this rumer be true, Meta
moras will doubtless fall into the hands
of the Texans, and mere important
place for their safety they could nos
take possession of.
A few days, however, will bring us
something conclusive in these matters. (
New YoRK, Nov. IS.
The BaisToL.--lt is stated in the
Gazette that So dead bodies have been
already cast up by the sea. From
gentleman who saw portion Of thsm,
we lsarn that they are mostly mitila-
ted and disheured, probably by being
entaog|ed among the wreck, s. tossed
about by the waves. Collins are pro-
vided for each, but they are not hnrri-
edly buried, from desire TO afford
opportunities ofrecegnition to relations
or triends. Several Of the bodies, wa
understand, have been thus recognised.
We do not learn that any OF the land
pirates have been arrested on the
contrary, we ars told that wagons ara
provlIng along the beach to carry off
plumber as last as the sea yields it up.

From the Richmond Wing, Nov. IS.
Died, on Sunday, goth instant, at
the residence Of his father, in Bedford
county, after a protracted illness Of
four months, which he bore with the
fortitads Of a Philosopher, and tbs re-
signalion OF Christian, JoHN THoMP'
SON BRewN, Of Petersburg, Va, in the
56,h year OF his age. We pause to
control the feelings which crowd upon
us, as we reflect upon this sad, this
bitter dispsnsation Of an Almigh,y
Providence. But a few weeks age, and
We had reason to hops that $hs bitter
cup would have been passed away
from our lips the disease which had
reduced him SO low, had apparently
yielded to the efforts Of nature and
medicine, and portion ofthose friends
who had watched SO constantly at his
side, had been induced at his own ur-
gent solicitations to leave him. Are
lapse, as unexpected as fatal, came
upon him, and alas he sunk 10 rise
no mois. That bright spirit which
had blazed so brilliantly and SO beau
tifully, is now extinguished forever.
By the side Of the mother that bore
him, he now sleeps the sleep which
knows no waking Perhaps we haaard
nothing in saying, that the death ofno
man could have touched more truly
the strings OF Virginians. But a
few years ago. and the reputation Of
Mr.. Brown extended not TO the limits
OF his native county with the quick
ness and brilliancy of the rocket, he
sprang from the ranks of the people,
armed at all points and prepared 10
do battle in their cause how faithful
ly, how ably he has performed his dn-
iy, be it allotted TO an ADLER, and less
basty pen than ours 10 portray; suf-
Zee for US 10 say, that he has burnish-
ed with additional luslre,a name which
Virginia will henceiorlh be proad TO
claimss peculiarly her own inheritance.
