From Mgxoo.-The New Orleans Courier fur
nlshes few additional items OF news brought by
the VIM. Penn, from Tamplco.
More than 100 Mexican or Spanish seamen had
been pressed at Tampico, and sent TO man the
steamer which arrived at Vera Cruz from England
about the 18th ult.
About 800 troops marched from Tampico for
Matamoras ten days previous
The VIM Penn was chased, but not overhaulcd,
by a Texan armed schooner on the 23d ult.
There were at Tampco one American, three
French and three English vessels.
Some OF the natives boosted that they would
overrun Texas and not stop till they got 10 Wash
lngton.
Santa Anna was becoming more popular than
ever.
The "New Orleans Advertiser" SAYS The
intelligence from Mexico, gives good reason 10 be-
ieve that Santa Anna is seriously bent warlike
operations upon comprehensive scale. Ills nen-
tons are involved IN mystery, however. Fifty
thousand men, II is said, already under arms.

ships and steamers. This preparation is ostenslby
TO reconquer Texas. 1t would be singular II the
real object was war with the United States
The Crescent City says:We learn that great
preparations were being made for sending an over
whelmlng force into Texas. They are increasing
the Navy, and daily augmentlng the large military
force under arms. All classes OF citizens are made

GALVESTON, August lS-A party of gentlemen,
seven in number, arrived here yesterday from Ar

Corrup,ion of the Press.

We trust the early and earnest attention Of
Congress will be tarned to the shameful prohigacy
now displayed by the Federal Executive in the
substituting Of the Public Press in this City and
elsewhere. Here, three or four dailies Of the
or two that haze some circulation, are constantly
filled with Government Advertisements many OF
which ought not TO be published here at all, and
the rest ought to be published where somebody
will be likely to see them. Thousands of dollars
Of the Peoples money have already been squan-
dered in advertising Public Land Sales, &C.. in
papers like the Standard Union, and Morning
Post, which money, for all public purposes, might
just as well have been thrown in the fire. Then
the Lists of Letters, which ought 10 be published
only in papers having the largest circulation, are
put in one paper which has circulation, and then
shuffed round between three or four others which
are of no possible account All this costs money,
which is wantonly wrested from the People to keep
the breath of lie in three or four journals which
could not possibly subsist on all the patronage le
ultimately afforded them. Before the next Eec.
ion shall have these same papers parading a
statement Of The Public Expenditures as an evi-
dence of " Wig Ertrnuagance," after they
themselves shall have received portion of these
Expenditures from treacherous Executive to
sustain them in preaching Loco Focoism And
Ill the while that he is thus cheating, he is still
more signally cheated. He thinks he is buying
