We have interesting news from Texas wa New
Orleans, by the Schooner Helen, from Galveston.
On the 18th inst the schooner Eliza Russel six days
from the Alverones, was taken by the schooner Of
war Brutus, off Sisal.
The officer in charge reports that the squadron had
sent into Matagorda, two Mexican vessels, loaded
with dry goods Also, that they made descent on
the coast burned all the towns Except ST. Clara,)
from cape Cartouchc to Ssal and captured several
other prizes which were destroyed or ransomed. All
were we'll on board the Texan fleet ;--they intended
to cruise few days longer off Campeachy andreturn
to port
The Helen states that in Lat. ~ 49, N. Lon 81 %,
W., very large shark was seen its length, was
tmated by all on board to be at least forty feet;
it came alongside, sufficiently close TO be distinctly
seen by the crew and passengers.
Col. Wharton brother TO the envoy from Texas to
to the United States, arrived by the Helen.-He was
among the persons wrecked in the schooner that took
the Mexican prisoners from Texas recently for the
purpose of effectng exchange for the Texans i'm
pnsoned at Matamoras. Itappears that Col. w. and
the Others after reaching the shore from the wreck,
arrested, and the policy of shooting them ag:ta'
ted among the authorities. Fortunately, Col. w. eff
ected his escape in time to prevent such untiney
fate. The Mexcans are said to be collecting the
Rio Grande and amounted to 1000 men but much
division prevailed among them, and little danger
anticipated from the brave soldiery Of the mighty
republic!
There has been an awful confiagratlon at Wash
ington Ga. 1t threatened destruction to the whole
place. The fire broke out at nine o'clock on the
night of the Oath ut and ragged with terrific violence
until near twelve About thirty buildings were de-
stroyed, including dwellings, stores post office, one
large tavern (Mr Alexanders stables gin house, &c.
&c. The damage is estimated at $50 000-very little
ofthe property was insured.
