LATEST FROM TEXAS.
The steamship Neptune, Capt. Rollins, from
Galveston, arrived yesterday at 10 o'clock,
bringing Galveston papers of Monday the 2lst
inst. The Neptune brought four thousand dol
lars in specie, to ]. McCleand, and few
bales ofcotlon. Among the passengers .wss
S P..AndreNs, Esq. Of Houston, appointed
by the citizens Of Houston, Commissioner 10
the United Sia,es-The Galveston Advertiser
says Of Mr.. Andrews, that he uniles 10 talents
Of the frs order, modest and concillatiDg de-
pertinent, pure patrolism and above all, an
humble and ardent pie,y. He formerly resid-
ed for some time in New Orleans, where he
maintained respectable stand as an attorney
at law. He has been engaged IN the practice
of his profession for some three years in the
republic, where he stands, Conlessedly, at the
head The bar. He will, after spending some
time in New Orleans, probably extend his Wis.
it as far up The Mississippi as Louisville, Ky.
The news by the NeptOne gives altogether
different aspect 10 affairP. The INVASION of
Texas, beyond all doubt, will turn out 10 be
an invasion Of Mexico. Quite change. 1t
is pretty well sscerlaaed that the number of
Mexicans who crossed the Rio Grande wss,
'ead of fourteen thousand, about eight hum

"The intelligence received conlradcts the
statements made by the MexicaNs, who cap
tured Captain Ferguson at Goad. They sta
ted that three thousand men had gone TO Bex
ar. Here we have positive intelligence that it
was only seven hundred The force that cap
lured GolIad amounted 10 only three hundred
men. consequently The whole Mexican force
al Goad and 8exar does not exceed one thou
sand. We cannot bu, feel more conf .med in
The belief that ihese two deiachmenls com.
prise the whole invading army now in Texas,
and, we sincerely hope, the brave volunteers
that have mustered in the West, will not turn
back TIL they have captured or slain every Mex
lean that has placed hostile foot on our SOIL
Golad was retaken by fifty Texans, and the
great invading army, al the last accounts were
travelling back to Mexico as fas, as their leg
would carry them. The following is from The
Houston Telegraph Of the 18th inst. Il gives
full summary oftbe latest news from The
seat Of war; If such tenn can be used with

News FIR M THE WEST. The western
mall arrived early yesterday morning, brought
no papers from Austin. From private letters
we learn that Col Bareson was at Aus'in on
the llIh insi., with three hundred and fifty
men, protecting The archives. A rumor had

Messrs. McCu'lock and Miller, who were sup.
posed to be captured by the enemy, arrived al
Seguln, and stated that they followed in The
rear ofthe enemy some distance, and found nc
Mexican reintorcements, and beliove thai
none were on this side of tho Rio Grande
The families on the Colorado are not alarmed
and remain cOntented at their homes, excep

Avs'in and Nashville, was shot under The nd
