MEXICO AND TEXAS We have had no further in
telligence from Texas since the confirmation of the
news that the Mexicans had taken possession of San
Antonio; but the probability is, that by this time
there has been a severe engagement between the
armies of the two countries.
The condition of things in Texas at present is
very gloomy, and without doubt Mexico will have
severe contest with that country, and probably
gain many important advantages, and cause sa.
criice of much blood and treasure the part of
Texas as well as himself although we have no idea
that he will permanently keep possession of any part
of the country.
1t is true that San Antonio is sort Of mere out
post, which il was agreed should not be defended
after the terrible slaughter of the brave Travis and
his men. But still the advantages at present seem
all on the side of Mexico. There is not the same
degree of sympathy felt in the United States that
there was year two back. 1t seems to have
been FILTERED away by their own foolish conduct
Add to this, Texas seems in very disorganised
state. Her army has been disbanded and scattered,
and her navy is lying useless at New Orleans, un-
able to move for want of funds. And at present
Texas almost utterly without the proper me ans
of defence. On the other hand, Mexico has large
large part just ready to enter it. Santa Anna has
invaded Yucatan, taken Laguna and the the Yucca
tan navy and intends TO employ that in conjunction
with his own recently augmented navy against the
coast of Texas and destroy all its shipping and COM
merce.
This precarous state of things will render the mex,
next news from Texas interesting.
Since writing the above, we have received New
OIL. ~tn hAxr nrvrc tnlln

rice, in ten days from Tampico. News had reached
Tampico that the Mexicans had captured all crafts
belonging to the Yucatanos, thereby destroying al

FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS The Right Hon. Lord
Spencer, Bishop Of Newfoundland, and the Hon.
John Barney of Baltimore, have arrived at the Astor
House, from the fremont House, Boston. Lord
Spencer is lneal descendant of the illustrious
Duke Of Marlborough, the present Duke being his
first cousin. His younger brother is Bishop Of
Madras.
1t is highly probable, that the beautiful frigate
Spartan. commanded by the Hon. Captain Elliott,
son of Lord Mimic, (irst Lord of the Admiralty
will come to New York to take the Bishop to
Bermuda, where he spends the winter. His Diocese
embraces Newfoundland and Bermuda, and Queen
Victoria places one of her crack frigates at his

and were for concurrence in all the amend

In Senate some two three memorials were

merously signed, from Charleston n, Mass, praying
that the law allowing drawback on Rum may be
repealed.
The Tariff Bill was then taken up and Mr. Ev
ans advocated the passage of tho bill His IDEAS
were, that we should want for purposes, even
with economy every cent Of revenue that it would
produce He stated that the amount of revenue
that had accrued from the customs the last

that twenty or twenty two millions would be suf

had been ascerained from official sources, would
this year yield three millions, which shonld be
returned to the Treasury. by restoring this fund
and collecting but twenty mill ions by the bill
before them they would have more than enough for
the purposes Of the Government. But this bill was
not one for revenue, although il was SO expressed
