hus Ceasar, which arrived yesterday from Tex
as, We have information that renders 1t very
doubtful whether the Mexican army will really
prosecute further operations for the present at
least against Texas.
! From Texian spies sent for the purpose otrc-
connecting the enemy, it is ascertained that the
Mexican army has not advanced, and that Its
numbers are continually diminishing by descr-
ton.
The Texans are in ''lligl spirits and have
no lack OF arms, ammunition andprovlslons, and
with force sufficient to repulsc theinvaders with
great slaughter. Santa Anna had solicited by
letter the amicablc interposition of Gen. Jack
son, and had conveyed to the Mexican Govern
ment his opinion, that the conquest OF Texas
was impossible, and that the independence OF
Texas should be recognized.
The schr. Brutus, Capt. IIurd, was at NADIA
gorda, blockaded by the Mexican brig of war
Vencedor del Alamo, but would soon be reliev-
ed bv the schr. Inviucible, Union, and other
vessc .. that had proceeded there i'll tow of the
steam boat Ocean, for the purpose of capturing
the brig
TExAs.-Thc New Orleans Bulletin OF the
10Th ,Ilt. states On the authority of letter
from highly respectable source, dated at Mata-
moras the 29;h ut, says 1T Is an undonbtcd
fact that this Government Cthc Mexican)
have made, or are making treaty to engage
eight thousand Indians to JOIN them. The
CheroheeS are a7rea1y engaged. There are
fourteen or fifteen Chiefs of different tubes
within few miles of here, who have daily
communica ations with the officers. The COM
missiouerS were this morning turned into the
common prison with criminals. 1t Is not In
probable we shall be invited to take French
leave of this country soon."
This intelligence is confirmed by another
letter of July l, which states: Il had occasion
to call on General Urea at his quarters on
business, when met there three of the 1ndi-
ans, with their interpreter, making enquiries
of the strength of their tribe, the General be-
ing anxious to ascertain what force they
could muster with other tribes"

Quirer PARIS, JUNE 12-The most careful
perusal of the French Journals can convey but
a very imperfect idea of the public feeling ofthc
private views of the members of the Leglsla-
ture individually on the subject of the occupa-
ton OF Algiers, which for the last three days
has been under discussion i'll the Chamber Of

been almost unanimous i'll favor of the rcten-
ton of the conquest either as colony or
strong hold. Nay, there is not single news
paper which ventures to advocate its abandon
ment. And yet the great majority of well IN
formed and reasonable Frcnchmen are convin-
ced that this legacy of the restoration was far
from being desirable acquisition, and that 1t
would be well to get rid of it, if that could be
accomplished without detriment to the honor
and glory of the nation.
PARIS, JUNE 15.-The German Journals pre-
tend that we are this year to have a Congress
of sovercigns at Cologne, at which the affairs
of Holland and Belgium are to be definitely set
tied. A visit the Emperor of Russia. to the
waters of Carlsbad, and ofthe king of England
to his Hanoverian dominions had been prevl-
ouslv announced, but the former, at least, is
rendered more than improbable by the distrac-
ted state of the southern provinces of the En-
pire, where, according to the latest accounts,
the inhabitants have become exceedingly dis
contented, in consequence of an extraordinary
levy Of troops and the imposition of fresh tax
on sprituous and fermented liquors, while at
same time the mobiles are invested with new
privileges at the expense of their vassals, and
are loaded with the favors and caresses otthe
Court.
