IMPORTANT FROM MEXICo.
Sanht .7na superseded in The .HeIican Presidential Chair
by Gen. BrarO.
We were put in possession Of this unexpected piece of
intelligence yesterday by Capt. Cottfeil, OF The schooner
Essex. from Matamoras, which port he left on the 10th
inst. That the present Mexican rulers are capable Of ef
fectiDg many strange deeds, We are always prepared TO
believe, but that Bravo, with infinitely less talents and
celebrity y should be elected, or chosen, for q situation, Of
which, az it appears, his master was deemed unworthy,
is a ma tier that seems 10 require more confirmation =
The Ess exs manifest, shown 10 US by Captain Coi'relI,
bears an endorsement to this efect-"On the 9Th inst an
express courier arrived here from Mexico, stating that
Santa Ana was driven from the presidential chair, and
Gen. Bravo elected TO fill the vacancy
Ofthe CO nectness OF this statement, Capt Cottrel!en-
tertained nc '~Iusplcion; and when We take into consIde-
ration the well known fact, that The present race of
Mex!cans h,Idly recognize any principle of action but
the tumuItuo US incentives of unbrIGled RIGHTEOUSNESS,
the news may mol wear so apochry phal a feature.
Generals L. mus and Canalizo are negotiating about
making peace The former is encamped at Monterey,
and The latter a { Saltillo. B~ustamente IS yet in Tampico

FROM TEXAs.-The arrival Of the steamer Columbia,
last night, puts US in possession of ne ws from Texas 10
The 18th inst of which The following may be considered
The principal iiems:
Some sickness prevailed in Houston.
II was reported that an army Of 4,OIu Mexlcans had
advanced % Ma,amoras. This in,elli gence made little
impression on The minds of the Texan $, whose attention
was principally turned 10 the Indian frontier. A large
body of TEXANS, regulars, volunteers, and militia, had
marched to the Northern frontier, whe re ii was under.
stood Indian parties from 90 tribes were about to meet
them. The result was expected an1iously The Texans,
il was said, were determined 10 compel the Indians to
abandon The Northern counties, and it was drought the
savages would give battle rather than consent. We shall
no, know the result Of the meeting for some weeks.
More than 1000 persons are said to ave alreat y squat.
ted on the site OF the new capital Of Texas on the Colo
radn; and it was thought The competition would lie very
great al the approaching sale Of the lots.
The citizens OF Houston appear 10 have had 4 very
serious brush with The gamblers.
II is said The cotton crop of Eastern Texas will this
year fall little short Of 90 900 bales.
Besides the maIauding parties Of Camnnches on the
Western frontier, the trade between Texas and the coun-
try beyond Rio Grande del Norte is now said 10 suffer
from the de redations Of land pirates, or armed bands Of
white men, who plumber alike Mexicans and Texans,
when the opportunity offers.
The threatened invasion of Texas by the Mexicans,
has drawn forth the following remarks, by the editor Of
The Houston Telegraph:
''This information will be far from startling TO our
citizens. The advantages we possess at this time over
the circumstances with which we were surrounded
three years ago, are manifold and obvious 10 all. The
successful termination Of the last INVASION accomplish
ed when the country did not contain certainly one fourth
Gifts present population, without resources of any kind
except The public domain without even an organized
government-will inspire a confidence Of success that
WILDE invincible on the field oIbattle. The probability
Of an invasion, therefore, although it might cause a tenn.
porary suspension of the prosperity of the country, on
every hand manifested, brings with il nothing of alarm;
but on the contrary, would be hailed as an suspicious
event, ~aitordlBg an opportunity of bringing TO a final
close all of our Mexican difficulties.
I'VE would say, let every citizen be prepared with
his hoise, rifle and ammunition. 80 as 10 be ready, al a
moments warning, to rally 10 The rescue. For, in the
present infant and impoverished state of the country,
little can be expected 10 be accomplished by The govern.
menl. Upon each indiridual must rest what, we trust,
will be Q light md momentary task-lhat Of debating 10
the mercenary Mexicans the terms ofour independence" >
The Houston Star Of the 10Th instant, says:
"Col. karues arrived in hi, city on Saturday, the 9th
inst. from San Antonio. He brings no ne s OF particu.
lar importance. Parties Of Indians occasionally make
their appearance 10 The neighborhood Of Bexar; but do
comparatively little damage, except in the way Of plum.
der. It seems that The white "land pirates" are much
more troublesome than any Of our enemies. One of the
pally confined TO Mexican traders, between whom and
our citizens, Congress, al its last session, attempted 10
encourage trade. They are by no means particular how
ever-any Thing in lhessay Of plumber is acceptable
We learn that a company is about being raised 10 pro.
coed to the West, to preserve the citizens and traders
from further violence"
