From the NJ o. Commercial Bulletin of July 49,.
Texas. '..r
BY the schooner Shenandoah, Captain
Moore, which left Yelasco, Texas, on the
4th inst, we receive some more recent in-
formation from that country. The Mex can
forces were about 100 miles distant from
the Texan army, which was continually
augmenting in numbers by the daily arrival
of reinforcements. Between the 4th and
18th, it is believe there will be at least
800 additional troops more, which will have
effected junction with the main army.
The Texans are in fine spirits, the whole
population turning out en- mdSSe, and every
man pushing forward with alacrlty, eager
to engage with enemies who are vainIy
boasting that they will strew the earth with
their rebelious foes. In consequence OF a
large amount of provisions, destined for the
Mexican army, having been intercepted by
some Texan troops, it is supposed that the
Mexicans will suffer much from the want OF
necessary supplies. These provisions, thus
intercepted, were the cargoes of the Fanny
Bntler and Watchman, the vessels published
few days since as being detained at Co
pano, where they were still in detention,
when the Shenandoah sailed. ..
The Texan schooner Invincible, schr.
Union, and schr. Cumanche, who was dis
charging her cargo, were all at VeIasco the
4th inst. Gen, Sauta Anna was still in
confinement at Colombia.
Upon the whole, the prospects of the
Texans are any thing hut dlscouraging,
and the great zeal manifested by them in
preparing TO meet their numerous foes, au-
gurs well for the result of the approaching
conflict. rh.a.et u.
i The Mexican forces, about 5000 strong,
remain stationed at the Nucces, under the
command of Ganero. This, probably, is
not the whole number of their army, but
that portion only intended to act in advance
of the main body. The Texans have, by
this time, probably, much upwards of 5000
men. We were apprehensive that, upon
the arrival of Gen. Houston, some difficulty
might grow out of the appointment of Lamar
to the command OF the army. 1t is believed
, however, that there would be no unpleasant
: feelings occasioned, and that Lamar woulC
yield up the command, should it be desired
by Gen. Houston. s4..r a
