TExAs.-Wc have frequently called the attention OF
oar readers to The rapidly increasing trade between this
mort and Texas Three years since, the exports to Texas
we're hardly worth reporting. while the trade to Mexico
ranked the third in The exports from New Orleans. The
reports of Custom house for the last quarter, show
that in the trade of city, Texas now ranks The third
nation in the value of exports. No estimate can now
be made of tie immense value Of the trade Of the new
Republic to the United States II will be- and If the
fact we're accurately ascertaned is now, OF more ad.
VANTAGE than the trade Of Mexico was. Texas,
from her position and the nducement she offers Tor
an illicit trade on the frontiers, will in short time,
have majority Of the Mexican trade in manufactures
and valuable goods, and nearly all the Coinage OF that
country will pass through Texas We should not be
surprised TO have reported in paper importations OF
spece from Texas has been customary TO report from
Mexico.-N. O. Bulittin.
