arrival n'that city Of Gen. HousroS,
who, being badly wounded, repaired

report ofthe defeat ofthe Mexicans and
the capture Of Santa Anna, will be
found IN our columns. The CONNER

;. The army was left under the COM

general The Texian force had accu-
mulated since the battle, to 1900 men;
and had endeavored, and were crossing
the Brasos, flushed with victory. The
Mexican army, under Selma and 9th
ers, had all concentrated, and amount
ed to $500 inen--the remnant Of 1000
that entered Texas, they were crossing
the Colorado, by RATS and swimming, and
were in the utmost confusion-those
that escaped having reported that the
late battle was fought by 5000 Texans.
Col. Burlinson was close to the enemy
with 200 cavalry, and they were retreat

panic and confusion in the Mexican

"Gen. Santa Anna had ordered an

had made further offers to acknowledge
the Independence Of Texas, making the
Rio Grandc the boundary, and remain

the United States should consent to
guarantee the treaty, and it should be
approved by the senate Of Mexico!
