News FROM TExAs.-The New Orleans papers of
the 2ls and 22d inst arrived in the mail of yesterday
evening. We copy from them the following letter,
dated "SAN LUIS, Mexico, Nov. 49,
"About ten days age General Bravo left for Texas,
with three thousand men, part via Matamoras, and
part via Sats, This. with about twelve hundred
men in Matamoras, is the whole force; and you are
to understand that Bravo men all the sweepings
of the Jas and raw recruits, who came down tied in
pairs to prevent their escape, and yet in spite ofa
the taken ofthem, upwards of seven hundred de-
serted, between Mexico and San Luis. have seen
letter from Gen. c. who says that the poor wretches
bravo included) going to be sacrificed to the
pid obstinacy of the clerical party, who insisted
the expedition, and who completely govern poor
Caro-.
The latest accounts from tho city Of Mexico repre-
sent things in very low stlte. The inhabitants
seem to be- as it were rved TO the earth by the heat
of the sum- SO little animation exists among Them"
Upon the foregoing intelligence, Correspondent of
the New Orleans Courier holds the following senti-
ments -
MIR EDITOR Nearly every thing published pur
porting to.have been received by the schr Creole from
Tampico relative TO the movement of Mexican troops
and their object is incorrect and that stating that
Bravo had departed for Texas, stuck upon the Mer-
chants Exchange BulleiB altogether SO. According
to authentic accounts received from San Luis Potos,
dated Nov.l8. General Bravo was sill in that cit y
occupied in engaging provisions, &c. for the army
from the commercial house of Rubo who did not APP
pear willing to furnish the supplies on the faith of the
government In consequence of this Bravo had
written to- the Minister of War; that he would re-
nounce the command if he was not furnished with
Jle means 10 carry into effect The proposed campaign
against Fexas in the spring.
"The sudden march of division Of troops towards
the coast to reach which they had 10 traverse the
Sierra dAnabuac where several OF the soldiers per-
ished By the cold and fatigue was occasoned by an
order from the city Of Mexico the government having
been informed by letters from New Orleans, that the
Texans, instgated by Santa Anna and Mea were
preparing to make an attack on Matamoras or Tam
pico, which induced the Minister of War to send
troops TO those two points. No intention whatever
be supposed if it be taken into consideration that all
the country from the borders of RIO Bravo TO the Sa
bine river is impossible fact of which the Mexl-
cans are well aware.
