After so long a season Of quiet that we
had almos, begun to think the McXlcans
had given i, up;" tw,thstandng all
the internal discussions which we know
are rendng the Mexican republic, it seems
by recent accounts from Texas that Gen.
Feisoa, at the head Of an invading army,
has actually entered the territory OF the
new republic, 1T is said that the force Of
the invaders amounts to eight or ten thou
sand men, and that the plan Of the cam.
palgn will be to keep open communication
with Mexico by rebuilding line of for
,resses. The course pursued will consume
much time, and cause all the horrors Of a
sangunary war in the most populous por-
ton of Texas. Between the 22d and eth
of November, three batallons of Mexicans
crossed the RIO Grande, and the residue
of the Mexican force is stationed at differ
ent points on that river. The plan and
de,ulls appear to have been well and care

Things are approaching crsls. The
Governor has been transporting. boats
from Niagara, in Wagons, to Chippewa,
where breast works have been thrown up
opposite Navy Island. The Patriot camp
is IN cXcelen, spirits, and making every
preparation to resist an assault. Mrs
Mackenzie is with her husband, and retu-
ses to leave him. She bids fair to be
come the heroine of this romantic eXpcdl
ton. The scouts and expresses of Gen.
Van Rensselaer, bring gratifying in'ell-
gence from the northern and western d.
trlcts. 1t would be improper fer us to be-
more explicit at present While we vln
dlcale the "suprcmacy of the laws" It
would be contrary to our feelings and
principles to give any information IN rela
ton to the plans of the Patriots, which
might prove prejndlcia to their cause.
Gen. Van Rensselaer, gives orders not
to fire gun until the loyast forces have
commenced. A few shots have been sent
from the other side but it was only ncces
sary to show blazing match to make
those engaged IN it scamper.

awyers in his dominions, and when he 60

that, after the battle Of ST. Charles, which
took place some time since, many OF the
insurgents no fled from that ard other
places in Canada, collected al Swanton and
HIghGate, in the SAFE of Vermont, and
that citizens of the United States furnished
them with with three pieces OF cannon,
some some small arms, powder, lead. and
other munitions Of war; and, thot having
been thus furnished, the insurgents, on the
9Th of the present month, made descent
into Canada, where they were met by a
party of Ioyallsls and routed, with the loss
of two pieces Of cannon; one OF the party
being killed and others wounded, and tina,
the remainder returned to Swanton. The
President directs that you institute an i'm

III the present condition Of the country,
we are inclined to think the measure cx-
cellent.
In the first place it will furnish no bad
vent for much Of the i'll blood which now
operates to promote, if not carry on civil
war in the republic. In the next, few
successes, no matter how trifllng, against
the Texans, would wonderfully strengthen
the Government. Success seems almost
certain to the invading army, from the
shocking incfficcncy Of the Texan Gov
eminent. Their President IS unfit, except
so far as brute courage goes, for corporal,
and as a civil magistrate a common mon
key would be his equal, and an ourang
out ang infinitely his superior. The whole
machinery OF the Texan Government seems
the most ptiabe burlesque on Republican
