From the New Orleans Picayune Of
no 2Sth ult. we have the annexed i'm
PorIant aud interesting intelligence FROM
Texas. That paper states.
The steam packet ship Savannah, Can
wade arrived yesterday morning fom
Galveston, bringing US dates from tho
new Republic 10 the 23I instant. We
hnd the following news in our files:
The Austin Sentinel Of later date
contains the following extract of a letter
dated
LA VILLA DE Los JACATEs, Sept 20.
''Sir: An express arrived at the head
quarters of the federal army, Yesterday
from Montere, bringing information that
General Urea was twelve miles from the
city Of Mexico, in momentary expecia-
ton Of being attacked by The united for.
ces Of Bustamente and General Santa
Anna, who had formed an alliance 10 sus.
1ain cenualism.
The Texan feet had been at Yucatan :;
they were received as national fieei
the ports were Illuminated, and one oil the
grandest and most splendid festivals ever
known in the country was given to the
officers Of the Texican fleet in Campca.
chy The FederaIsls Of Ydcalan and
CamPeachy were anxious 10 loEU an al
lance with Texas.
SCOT. Jordan sent an express few days |
ago to Gen. Candles, to march with al
expedition TO the Rio Grande; that Gen.
Reyas was within 80 miles of him, with
orders from Arista 10 attack him forthwith
but that be was in such a position that
Gen, Reyas could not do il.
Caneles IS determined TO attack Reyas
as soon as he can unite his forces with
those under Colonel Jordon, which viii
now be ina few days. His force amounts
10 500 Americans, and 900 Mexcans.
The letter says, g Tue rifles have done
their duty before this"
"Gen. Reyas asserts, on the authority
of Gomez Farrias, The pesent President
OF Mexico, that the Independence of Tex
aswould be acknowledged befole the ex-
praton Of six months, BY Mexico.
81 have letter from Montere, from an
old acquaintance, which makes the sane
assertion. He is just from the city Of
Mexico. IL you have any speculatlons
on hand, push them, unless Gen. Urrea
meets with defeat, and as yet all is IN
his favor"
We have private letter from Calves
ton, written on the %, which states rha
the Houston Morning Star, received ,he
previous day, contained information, d.
,ct from the West, to this effect:
'"That Arista was marching up the
1io Grande Ibis side) in pursuit Of d.
! sion of the FederaIisls, (prubabIy those

on, and 100 men, One of the prov-
4 lns ofthe capiiulaiion was, that Mala,

The Austin Sentinel says-"We have
Aen informe by a ge llleman from San

ess. Col. Seguin has been rendered
he Office Of Brigadier general in the Fed
raj army, and he is now awaiting orders
,ntlre Medina, with eighty American
Oluntoers. Ii is probable he will resign
his seat in the Senate OF this Republic.
Major Howard, with one hundred and
fifyregular troops, and one hnndred vol
unieers, has lett San Antonio on an expe
diton against the Camanches, This is
The the second party that is on its way in
TO the Indian country.
A military post is 10 be established on
the San Marcos, about half way between
Austin and San Antonio.
1t is said that Gen. F. Houston's pro.
iocted Indian campaign does not seem
10 meet with very general appreciation,
und it's thought impossible for him to
raise as large a force as that desired.
Congress is to meet on the first Mon.
day in November.
