FROM MEXICO.

Correspondence ofthe National Intelligencer.
New ORLEANS, May l6.
l find that the papers Of this city appear to
be still in the dark as to the movements ofthe
Mexicans, SC. on the borders of Texas. /
cannot doubt my authority, however; and ,as-
cording to your desire, communicate such
information as do not find in the newspa2
pers, not thinking it necessary to repeat what
10 published there.
One of the first acts ofths new Administra1
ton of MEXICO was to increase the army of
operations on the Rio del Norte to twelve
thousand men, and to form reserve Of four
thousand men, the head quarters which will
be ST. Luis de Potosi. The story of the revo-
luton at this last place, &c is therefore either
wholly without foundation, Or a mere sxag-
geration of some popular excitement.
I The last accounts received here d.
rect from the Mexican army state that
all at once the army has halted in its
march, and is making dispositions as if
for defensive rather than an offensive
war, sttch as throwing up fedoubts, f5f-
ming depots, SIC. The number Of the
army has increased within few weeks
past, and is stated in round numbers at
more than ten thousand men. II Is
said that they will not act upon the
Offensive until the army is still stronger,
exclusive of the reserve have before
spoken Of. The officers complain of
not being allowed to visit any of the
sea-ports; but, as for the rest, theirlet-
tiers to their friends say that they are
pretty well of.
This is az much as I can commune
cate to you without disclosing my chan
mel of communication, the doing of
which would speedily put an end to it.

previous to his execution, confessed
that he was the murderer of Sander
son. No body believedit. 1t was sup
posed to be gotten up by some of the
friends of Hamilton aftefhi execution.
But from the evidence 1t was morally
impossible, that any one but Hamil-
ton, could have committed the murder.
All the other circumstances of the tale
by the robbers camp in the woods at
night, the ladies, &C., the election at
which Hamilton was stated to be cam
didate, are mere machinery put in to
have an effect.
Old Hamilton was arraigned and tri-
ed as ar accessor to the murder. The
evidence was strong against him, but
ne was acquitted, making narrow es-
cape, perhaps, by the lenity of jury.
