Nep. Orleans, March 26.-You must no
doubt have observed in the course of my
correspondence, that whenever we have an
arrival from the Mexican coast, many re-
ports are put in circulation, calculated to
Brighten the many emigrants that arrive
daily, bound to Texas, and to misiead the
public on the state of affairs in that Repub-
lie, as also in Mexico. This was the case
on the arrival of the schooner Bonita, from
Tampico, when that ridiculous letter was
published at the Merchants Exchange
Reading Room, in which it was stated that
1000 infantry, 1900 cavalry, 20 sails,
exclusive of two armed steamboats,, expec-
ted from Jamaica, were to leave Matamor-
asfor Texas.
Yesterday it was reported in town, with
reference to a passengers nrrivod on board
the Atlantic, that the Mexican army, con-
sisting of about $500 men of all arms, had
commenced crossing with the camp equip.
age, and that the general opinion was that
the army would commence marching about
the last of March; that the Mexicans inten-
ded to occupy Bexar, Goliad and Copano,
which were considered as the keys of Texas,
and having possession of those places, the
operation ofthe army would secure points
d'appui, where they might conduct their
operations at leisure, while they would by
this means hold the Texan army in check.
Now can assure you in most positive
manner, that Gen. Bravo had formally de-.
cared that no movement could take place
among his army until the important question
of the Presidential election was entirely
settled, and internal tranquility restored to
the country.
Bustamente has not quilted the city OF
Mexico, where he is too well employed
electioneering, and trying to keep in awe
the partisans of Santa Anna. The presi-
dental election was in progress and ought
to terminate on the Goth instant, probably in
favour of Bustamente. In the mean time,

1 he Gaceta del Gobierno, which is under
the control of Tornel, shows remarkable
partially to Santa Anna. The Lima organ
of the aristocratic party, does not seem to
be satisfied with the declaration made by the
prisoner of San Jacinto, in his first com.
munications to the Government, since his
return to the country. 1t says that 1t is
ridiculous to deny that His Excellency con-
cluded shameful treaty or convention with
the Texans, which document bears the date
Vclasco, July 4th, 1886. The Cosmo-
pohta, an opposition paper, continues Its
violent attacks against the Centrallsts and
Santanites, advocating the establishment o.
the Constitution of 1924. The partisans o.
Santa Anna on their side, are not dormant.
Various pamphlets have already beer
circulated, designed to repel the accuse
tons of his adversaries, and to justify his
conduct in Texas.
| In view of the foregoing information, ant
the particulars conveyed in my last letter
you may form your own conclusions as tt
the influence which such state Of things
in Mexico, must have on the future destiny
of Texas, as also on the ultimate success
of Santa Anna, should he be determined t
resume the reins Of the government

must be.
