a DAILY and Semi weekly ana Weekly
"a Newspaper, published in the City of New
York, by TOWNSEND & BROOKS. The
price of the Duly paper is ten dollars, and of the
r:em-weeky lolr dollars in advance, aud FIVE ii

if not known to the proprietors are expected to
rive references in New Yo.k, unless the money
accompanies their order.
The proprietors of tue Express know fall well
that in the management Of a daily Newspaper in
New York, the Editors must neither sleep nor
slumber upon their posts, and while thousands OF
their fellow citizens are in thsir beds, that is the
time for them to be at their desks, bat they are pre-
pared for all this exertion. They have the health,
spirits and the age fot such encounter, aud are
readyf To- it, knowing fail well as they do, the ac-
= ty Of tleir contemporaries AMI their inicfltigi-
bic exertton never 90 be oat done. Bat neverthe-
less, they think there is room for them. New
York is increasing with a pility that deG.s cal
cu'atim and mlcks at prophecy, marching on even
with strides that threaten close Proclamation to
the Empire city of the commercial world over the
sed:--ani sure in this vigorous and marvellous
growth, new Journal MAY succeed, where Others
have, when New York was, as it were but in her
swltling clothes, AMI not the giant she now is
with her thousand arms stretching all over both the
old world and the new. In such great city then,
the heart of our vast land, AMI the link between
thatland aud EIrop no taxes up>n paper,
no stamps, no r,st icton7 on tho Press, to elcum-
Der and overload the business of Journalizing,
there is ample scope AM IA lge enough for Us and

The great anil primary object Of the proprietorS

TEXAS BLOCKADED.

The schr Rnglesder, AT New Orleans
from Tampicn, brings advices to the Goth
ult The following summary of news we
find prepared to our hands in Mobile
Register slip of the 9TH instant.
The Mexican Government has issued an
order declaring n Blockade of all the.ports
Of Texas. The Blockade is to take effect
from and after the 80 day of publication in
the city of Mexico, which was on the 9th OF
February. 1t has therefore been nominally
in force about four weeks.
The naval squadron designed to main
tain this blockade, consists of five vessels,
four briggs, the Libertad, Alamo, General
Baraga, and Fama, and the schr Hidalgo.
They were off Tnmpico at the latest dates
from that place. and were to sail for the
Texan coast on the 2Sth ult.
The Mexican Government has also pass
ed a decree, closing number OF ports on
both sides of the continent against foreign
commerce. The decree is to take effect six
months sGer its publication, which was on
the Cd of March.
There are extensive symptoms Of inter-
nal disorder aud pending revolution in
Mexico. The New Orleans Bulletin oi
"Wednesday contains several letters from
the City of.Nlexico, received by the Ring
leader via Tampico. They are Of the dates
between the Sth and 18th of March, nnd
they exhibit very troubled state of the
Capital. The government had by de-
cree deprecated their copper coin to the n.
mount Of so per cent, and in cousequenc,
riots took place, which were only quic,c,
ny the military. The houses Of foreigner
we're attacked, the government being anx

Mexico offered the Dictatorship to Busta-
mcnte, which he declined. They demand
ed the resignation of Care, the President
pro TEN. lie sent it to Congress on the
18th, but they had not yet accepted it.
Foreign embarrassnients too, tbicken up
on the Government. The French Minister
has received instructions from his Govern
ment, to demand immediate restitution from
Mexico, of the amount taken from the
French cItizens under the decree of the
Force Loan, and an adjustment of all other
matters in controversy; he has not yet re-
ceived his answer.
The English Ministsr, it is said, received
similar instructions. On the night Of the
4th ult. the Message of the President Of the
United States, was received by express from
Vera Cruz, via New Orleans. 1t produced
a great sensation. Congress was convened
the next day in Secret Session. As far as
learned, their action was any thing but fa-
vorable to an amlcable adjustment Of the
difficulties between the two countries, as the
Chambers were discussing the propriety OF
issuing Privateer Licences, and sending
them up the Mediterranean, by an agent,
for sale.
SANTA ANA was still at his plantation,
waiting The turn of affairs. The tide oi
public feeling is said to be turning in his
favor.

LATER FROM MEXICO AND
TEXAS.

MEXICO.-VeraC Cruz dates TO the 18th
March last has been received at New Or
leans.
General Santa Anna took the oath to the
new fundamental laws on the 9th of March
A lnrge nssemblage was present, and the
General made a speech in the true Spanish
STYLE, full Of enthusiasm for his beloved
country.
The papers nre filed with the letters oI
Mr.. Ellis to the Mexican Minister of for
eign affairs aud his answers thercto, upon
the subject Of ths passports.
Almon,c started for the Capitol on the
18th with the exposition Of the affair at St
Jacnto and other documents relative 10 the
invasion of Texas.
The Mexican fleet has been reinforced
by the arrival of the Independence brig

FROM TEXAS.
Accounts from Velasco are to the I'd OF
April. The country was tranquil and
prosperous, the farmers were actively en-
gagged and every thing prognosiicated that
an abundant harvest would reward their
labors.
All volunteers arriving at the camp are
obliged to serve during the war or two
years; they are treated as regulars and are
kept in strict discipline. They have plenty
Of provisions aud are all in perfect state Of

Baltimore, and Washington, after making
all proper deductions, amounted to an aver
aye per annum of 100000. Ths whole
cost Of the mail, after all deductions. will
not exceed $24O, 900 per snnsm % that
when it had run but sixty days, the revenue
produced by it, including all other Offices
on the line, must have been nearly or quite
equal to its cost.
Encouraged by results, the Department
has now advertised for express service from
Washington ID. c. to St. Louis, Mo. aud
from Dayton, Ohio, connecting this line,
through Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville,
and Huntsville, to connect with the south
ern line at Montgomery, Ala, it being ex-
pected that the proposed steamboat mail
from Louisville to New Orleans will oper-
ate as all express mail through the Mis-
sissippi region.
Experience will show how far tins in-
creased expedition will be beneficial to the
public, and to that test it may be left. As
to expense, it is not doubted shat the whole
system of express mails, as now advertised
will when in full operation, support itself
Those who use them will pay for them, ant
the printers and people will procure the
gratutious transportation Of newspaper slip,
containing the news into the bargain.
From New York to Boston, the steam
boats and railroad afford more than the
speed Of an express, and from Boston Il
Portland, the ordinary mail runs with al
most as great speed. From New York
to Albany, the steamboats, give more thar

is by no means so extensive in that quartz
as it is 10 the South and West.
