| Ieras.-We are very much pleased to,
learn from a highly respectable citizen Of
Texas, who arrived last evening by way of
Red River, and who brings intelligence eight
days later than that already received. that
on the 10th inst. the Mexican army, was re-
treating with the greatest precipitation and
disorder, having thrown a large number of
muskets into the San Bernard river. He all
so states that a large number Of TEXANS had,
Twisted the Mexican camp on the Colorado
land slept there one night, and had been there
treated more as men whom they looked up
Lon as already their conquerors than, as cap
Itiyes, which they had it in their power to make
them had they been so inclined. Our infor-
mant says he has been assured by those per-
sons after their return TO the Texan camp
from this visit, that the Mexicans said opens
ly, if the Texans would only allow them to
return ,anaaoaested, that they would never
trouble them again. p '@sa f g I. .'.
Washington, WeI Esen;ng, Jans15, 1885,.
A day Of adjournment was fixed yesterday,
and to-day, its advantages are seen. To be-
sure, stthe spouters all met" as usual, with
the same questions of Importance before
thom, the same excitement, personal and!p
litical, and the same necessity for making long
speeches, Thanks, however, to the brief pc
Rod between this and adjournment, it was
deemed wise on all hands to make short
speeches, and those only which, were made
more for Congress, or Washington city, than
for the constituents or the districts Of the rep
resentatiyes themselves. A variety Of incl
dental business, therefore, occupied the NOR
ming hours of both Houses. The House at
length took up for consideration the bill for
defining the Northern boundary line Of Ohio.
The bill for the admission of Michigan con-
. taineda provision defining the same thing
That bin, however, is conditional, and makes
it necessary for Michigan, If she chooses, to
come in'with a boundary, which takes all Of
the disputed territory from Michigan, and
gives to Ohio and Indiana. Michigan, by
the bill admitting her upon these terms, may
come in or not as she pleases. The bill I'M,
der discussion to-day, settles the Northern
line of Ohio positively, and much to the adj
vantage of Ohio, by positively defining line
which takes from Michigan all the claims,
and gives to the bordering States all they ash
The previous question was soon moved, and
the bill passed. :" 'es F 'a@ e"e 4','e@''
Raanor.-I am informed, and from very
good authority, that Lewis Casss will be NOM
mated Minister to France. before the close of
the present session. The Senate would be
VERY brief in celebrating upon such NOM
nation. Mr.. Cass is the best of the Cabinet,
, capable and honest; and in truth so very
worthy of trust, that the leaders of the Adj
ministratiOns seem solicitous to get rid of his
services. IN. Y. Denly ADJ. $ e '''.t' J 80
