IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.

From the New Orleans Courier June 22.
BY the arrival of the sch. Byron from
Galveston Bay, whence she sailed on the
18th instant. we are informed that Con
gress adjourned on the evening Of that day
after long protracted session. Previous
to their adjournment they were in secret
session, the results Of which had not trans.
PRED when the vessel sailed.
We have seen papers of the 9th. which
contain no news further than previously
published; the publication of the Houston
Telegraph has been suspended in conse.
quence Of the want Of ink.
We are informed by passenger on
board the B. that the town of Nashville
| had been taken and sacked by the Canaan
che Indians. who massacred the few in
habilants that remained. They can, it is
said, bring fifteen thousand well armed
warriors in the field. Their bravery and
proves have always put the Mexicans,
even IN the zenith Of their power, 10 fear
and trembling, whenever they made their
appearance.
The number now engaged in devastat-
ing the frontiers of Texas, is about 5000

who. being dissatisfied with the govern
mcnl, have joined them, insIIgated end led
them on to deeds of rapine and carnage.
Several families. we are also Informed,
were murdered fifteen miles from WASH
ington, and such was the apathy of the
people in that town, no steps were taken
to arrest their blood thirsty course.
President Houston has granted furloughs
10 nearly all the efficient men composing
the army OF the Republic, until about the
middle Of September, and in case Of not
returning at the time specified, are to for
tclt all their lands, and other privileges
and cmoluments which they now enjoy.
We give The above as we heard 1t from
a passenger on board the B., who. from
the conversation we had with him, we do
not think would misrepresent the situation
of the Tcxian affairs.
As might be expected, the disbanding
Of the army has given much dissatisfaction
to the people, who from its absence are
exposed to the incursons Of the Indians and
McXicans.
The army also appears to be dissatisfied
with President Houston--lheir wish was
to attack, and if possible. lake Ma,amoras,
but President H. would not accede 10 their
demand, and hence their discomfort.

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO? We open
scarcely a paper that does not present
this question: question, which those
who PROFOUND it can answer as easily as
others. A man must have great confidence
in his own sagacIty. who would hazard his
reputation upon the prediction of what
Congress will do at its extra session.
What it will not do is not quite so deeply
enshroudcd in darkness and uncertainty.
We opine that nothing will be done to
relieve the merchants from their pre-
sent embarrassments. Nothing will be
done to relieve the laboring classes
the manufacturers and the mechanics
from the pressure which they are begin
ming to feel. and which will crush them
TO the dust ofth earth with unheard Of
caiamites, before the expiration of the
next winter. Nothing will be done to
protect the industrious producer against
the competition and rivalry of foreign pro-
ducions and manufactures, which our
merchants will continue to import and thus
increase the debt already due to foreign
nations. Nothing can be easier than to
swell out this catalogue Of Nothings, but
as nothlsg can be gained by it, nothing
further need be said-Bost. Cour.

SOUTH AMERICAN POLITICS.

The late Spanish provinces OF South

singular revolutions, and suffering for
twenty years and upwards. all the mseries
of civil war, seem at length to have settled
down into somewhat of a regular system

are yet occasionally troubled with civil dis
| lurbances; but these Disturbances are com
paratvcly of a trflIng kind; and the 20
Utica character of the several States has
at length assumed marked and distinctive
type.

var attempted 10 unite into the Republic of
Columbia, have separated into distinct,
though friendly States; and discardlng

Bolivar had introduced into the Comlumbi.

tocracy in their Governments and still ad
here to the principles Of Bolivar.
1t is worthy of observation, and it tends
to show how intimately the distribution Of
property is connected with the form of
Government. that IN those States which
have adopted democratic principles, even
while they were Spanish provinces, there
were no very large fortunes. These pruv-
inces were not so much mining, as agricul.
tural; and the distribution Of property
was not so extremely unequal. On the
other hand, the three aris,ocratic States,
Corning the old vice royalty of PERU de-
pended for their wealth on the mines, and
presented the spectacle of few grandees
Immensely rich, and the mass of the peo-
pie poor, with large proportion of Afr.
can slaves, and of native Peruv;ans, worse
off, if possible, even han the blacks. The
terrible commissions with which Peru has
been torn, were natural consequence OF
his false construction of its social system.
In Bolivia, the Spanards longest retained
their power; but being expelled by the
arms of Bolivar, the native arstocracy
with his aid, seized upon the reins Of
Government, and more lucky, or more wise
than their brethren in the other States
they have as yet succeeded in firmly retain
ing 1t.
Santa Cruz, the President of Bolivia
seems TO be an able man. OF late he has
exhibited some disposition, to tread in the
steps Of Bolivar,-to whom he owed HE
appointment and to whose political prnci-
pies be adhercs,-and to attempt that same
system of consolidation in the old vice roy
atty of Peru, which Bolivar tried, but
could not perpetrate. in Columbia. Hav'
ing nterfered in Peruvian affairs, and de
fealed Salavery, who had seized the supreme
authority there, he has dismembered Peru
, into the two States Of North Peru. and
