TEXAS AND MEXICO.

A letter, direct from citizen and cor
respondent Of Texas, is now before me-
The Mexican troubles are becoming quite
serious, the expected war, between the
FederaIs,s and Ccntralisls, is uow being
proyided for. The Federalists already,
have a decided majority, III the northern
and eastern states of Mexiro. They had
sent their principal General to New Or-
leans for recruits. and were successfully
engaged in raising volunteers III 1exas.-
Abnn, four hundred had hcen obtained a
lone from Galveston aud Houston. The
Teyiau Government takes no part, yet The
Federalisls are quite popular in 'fexas'and
since the TWO successful engagements last
winter, by party of the Americans ~
concert with the Fedcrallsls against the
cen,ralis,s, the Americans have become a
great terror TO the cenlralists.
The probability of further difficulties
between Texas aud Mexico. no longer ex-
isis. Mexico is expected to perish amidst
her own ruins. while Texas daily advances
both in power and reputation.
AT this time it may he justly said, thai
Texas claims no small importance among
tho civilized nations, with climate, soil
and location, peculiarly adapted 10 the EN-
,erprisinS character of an American peo-
plc: a, peace with the world, save the ruth
less savage, asains, whom, salu'ary gov

iycd in Texas, is the ouly security ene Is
