Besides the news contained in the Texan papers,
our private letters that the invasion of Mexico
has been soemnly decreed The following extract
from private leter-the writer is gentleman every
way entitled to implicit confidence:
The retreat of The troops tina; captured and plumber
ed San Antonio leaves in doubt of their actual force
and intentions We have 5000 troops in arms West
Of the Colorado who have orders to push TO the Rio
Grande TO capture and destroy their towns, to make
for Natamoras and If PRUDENT to assa it. If we are
not mistaken and receive decent support from the
IT, S. or rather from the 'tumuuous population of the
Mississippi we will make the campaign this present
wear. MAINTAIN our ground, and upon accession of
force fight decisive battle with the army of Mexico
assembled as will be that frontier obtain victory
which leaves all Mexico open 10 us"
Our letters Of authentic character, inform u.s. that II
within sixty days Texas can muster five thousand Ame-
rcans upon the Rio Grande, in addition TO like num-
her of Texans ready for the campaign, the invasion will
immediately be made.
General Albert S. Johnson leads the van. A more
exalted gentleman and nobler soldier does not breathe
on earth.
P S.-Snce writing the foregoing, the arrival from

whence she sailed six days ago. has put us IN posses
sion of papers Of late date. The journals are des
