The herald., 1837-03-13

which published on Saturday in postscript, sere-
raj hours before any other paper in the city-and
another column the additional news by the Poland
! arrived Yesterday. We have made arrangements by
Which we shall be enabled hereafter TO compete sue
cessfully with every large paper in Wall street. The
monopoly which these journals have heretofore ENJOY
ed in consequence of their boats is drawing to
/ close On Satu day we had later French news Than
several Of the large papers, and again by the ARRIVAL
of the Oxford we oustnpped every journal IN the CITY,
new system is now in the tide OF successful expert
mcnt for the fishing up Of ship Notwithstanding
all that has been said against the pilots Of New ok
we are much mistaken if they will not shame their
caumniators before the summer shall have past and
gone.
The early publication of the foreign news by tho
Herald on Saturday created quite sensation. Nearly
one hundred men and boys waiting for papers,
when double cylinder began throwing off the
sheets faster than the trees of autumn disrobe them
selves Of their beautiful leaves The purchasers baw
ed quarreed, fought who should have the first sup
ply. The publication began at O'clock and before
o'clock fire Aousandcopes Of the Herald containing
! the Kings Speech and foreign news were sold.
The merchants were particularly surprised AT the
nllness and accuracy of accounts Of the foreign
markets We shall surprise them again before the
month Of September next. Nothing has astonished
us SO much as to see the merchants of New York
throw away money in advertising in the Wall street
papers Every merchant probably pays from 500 to
5000 per year to have his advertisements buried in
these blanket receptacles Of inanty which few read
and none remember. BY advertising in small paper
for cash as they want it. they can 100 per cent
and have better chance of having their notices read
Advertising in large papers is utter foy-as we shall
show by certain data in few days.
By EXPRESS MAn-Wo had accounts last evening
from New Orleans to the 4lh inst. The following is
the only news
"Gen. Johnson, commanding the Texian army had
, received communication from Colonel Segmn
stating that the town of Bcyar TO be surprised and
taken on the night Of the 10th February by SIX or
! eight hundred Mexican Cavalry; that some of the
principal men OF Bexar were TO combine with the ene-
my;-that Col Seguin had made prisoners of several
OF these personages, and had taken up his line OF
march for head quarters where he was expected TO
arrive on the 18th nit Gen. Johnson's camp is at
Fort Johnson on the LaBa ca. report was circulated
that the Mexican army was crossing the Rio Grande
Several prisoners had been taken, spies"
In Texas the utmost quiet prevails throughout the
Republic, the government is fully susainen by thepeo
pie, and the whole population appear be satisfied
Families have returned to their farms, and prepara-
tions making for an immense corn crop. They
have established line of ten block houses from the
Trinity to San Antonio To each block house is ap-
portioned fifty mounted rangers. The people
tain fears OF the Indians, and apprehend nothing
from the old enemies. Emigration increases every
day.
An Express from Fort Dade says, the Indians come
in but slowly, but they declare that general desire
for peace prevails among them.
