MEXICO.
From the Lo,lisianian of Apru 4.
T'YRo.

Private Letters from the most respectable
houses in Mexico announce in positive terms tina
the treaty of peace concluded by Admiral BAUD1N
and the Mexican Plenipotentiaries has been ratif.
ed by the Mexican Government. One of those
letters informs us that the army Of Gener al Cos
was routed near Tuspan by General MEx1A, with
the loss of 800 prisoners. 1t further appears
that BUsTAMENTE was marching upon Tarnpico.
Since the above was committed to type, we
have received, by schooner arrived from Tampco,
a confirmation Of the news of the triumph of Gen.
MExA. The battle was taught on the 18th of
March near Tuspan, and the. whole loss of the
Government troops was 600 prisoners and 400
killed. ......<-
Gen. Cos escaped in wonderful manner, by
means of disguise, in which he clothed himself.
This victory gave rise to great rejoicngs at
Tampco.
ARIsTA about to depart from San Luis
Potosi for Tampico with 1000 men, but it was
supposed that the defeat Of Cos would make him
retrace his steps. They were well prepared to
receive him at Tampco.

FROM TEXAS.

The Houston Telegraph Of the 9th ultimo
has been received at New Orleans. On the 2lst
ultimo, ia Houston, public dinner was given in
honor Of Gen. Hamilton. He addressed his hos
pitable entertainers in long and eloquent speech,
and closed by complimentary toast to Texas.
We learn that Gen. Hamilton and Ex-Governor
Butler, of South Carolina, and Joseph M. White,
of Florida, have filed their declarations recording
their intention to become citizens of Texas. The
Telegraph describes the western counties of
Texas as in a condition remarkably fourishing.
Between the Guadalupe and Colorado new farms
are opened in every direction, and hundreds of
entcrprising emigrants are constantly arriving,
and adding new confidence and energy to the set
tiers in that quarter The settlements were ex-
tending several miles above Gonzales, and such
was the confidence of the people in that section
that they were making locations high up on the
St. Marks, in region that only a few months
ago was entirely deserted on account of the In.
dians.-Buhefin.
