And he returns today. But lest he should alarm

Of our fall and The present weather is too
hot to last.
MExIco.-This country is in poor, miserable,
unsettled state. II is without fortified FORTHWITH
out a real President-without feet-without
army-without decent legislators-wthout money
and going to tine devil as fast as possible. Santa
Ana and Bustamente are jealons of each other, and
trying to cheat each other out Of power, property
and lite. Bravo is a miserable tool, used occasion
ally by each OF them The inhabitants are arrayed
against each other under different marauding COM
manders and it is only necessary for the Msxieans
to invade Texas once more, in order to be efectsay
used mp, and their whole country possessed and
governed by the descendants Of the Anglo-Saxons
TExAs.-This country is in a most flourishing and
prosperous condition. Emigration thither is inc reas-

sugar, is increasing every season; the agricultural
wealth will in few years be immense. The noun

winters mild, and snow is stranger to the soil
or Sod The government is good, and under the ad-
ministration of such men as Lamar and his chosen
associates have the best assurance for the STABILITY
Of good government. Texas will be a wealthy,
prosperous, and productive country beyond all cal
culatioa and it has nothing to fear except from the
cupidity Of rapacious spectators If Mexico in
vades her, the Mexican army will be demolished !;
and the Texans will invade and conquer the whole
Of Mexico in two years; assisted she would be, by

tiously calls us "the reprobate robbers Of the Uni
verse" All Texas wants is loan; and if her agents
not too far dipped in ksavery, speculation and
folly, she can get $ much money as she wants from,
England. We speak thus advissdly Of promising
country; we own no league, fellowship or brother
hood with the blackguards or spectators who in
