LATER FROM TExAs-By arrival at New Or
leans, we have received Texas papers to Septem-
Der LIST.
The Houstonan mentions and welcomes the ar
rival OF Capt. Elliott, Consul General and Charge
d'Affaires from Great Britain 10 that country
The same paper, by letter from gentleman at
Carries Rancho, learns, that heavy rains had fallen
throughout the. western country, and that the
streams had all risen so much as TO overflow their
banks In many places.
The west is represented as being perfectly tran
quill. No hostile Mexicans have made their appear
ance since the battle of Lpantltlan. Two Next
cans were killed at Kinney and Aubrey's Rancho
few days before this correspondent wrote, by the
crew of the soop PhGnix one was Mexican Off
Ger.
A letter from Victoria, states all the troops that
were stationed at Lamar have come IN, and Vico-
ria has now become the extreme frontier town in
that quarter. About fifty Mexican families remain
ed at Carlos Rancho or new La Bahia, and they
viewed with much suspicion by the western
citizens
Capt Cameron, with his company of about fifty
rangers encamped few miles above Victoria.
The citizens were preparing to organise themselves
into company to join any expedition that might
be fitted out from the east but so much uncertainty
and doubt existed that they hardly knew what
course TO pursue. Another report was in circulation
that Col Sc suin had joined the Mexlcans, and was
preparing TO march upon Bexar with large force
Little credit was given to the report. No Mexican
traders have been In for long time, and as no spes
were out, nothing was known OF the movements OF
the enemy.
The Galveston Chronicle mentions the arrival on
the 18th, of the remainder OF tn Santa Fe prisoners
in ten days from Vera Cruz. Ii appears that four
teen of the poor fellows died of "black vomi," at
Vera Cruz; and three of them Joined the Mexican
service. Capt Holiday died on the passage /; This
man is the same person who made such "halr
breadth escapes" being one of two who made their
escapes from the massacre OF Goliad The whole
number on board were lS3, all in good health,
though IN destitute condition as to clothing, NC.
meeting Of the citizens was held in the evening,
TO devise means to supply their immediate wants
a commlte was appointed 10 receive contributions
OF clothing, &c. On the following morning the
clothing, bats and shoes distributed among |
them, amply sufficient, when they landed once
more upon the Gland of the free and the home oil
the brave"
There are fears of yellow fever at Galveston, and
the Chronicle hints the necessity OF putting yes
sells from New Orleans and Vera Cruz in quarantine.
We thought that the humbug doctrine OF contagion
in fever was exploded-but II gems not.
If we may Judge from the tone OF an editorial in
the Galveston Gazette, no fears entertained OF
4 Mexican INVASION The editor remarks, that from
all he can gather from the Santa Fe prisoners, Mex
can papers and other sources, the conclusion arises
hat Santa Anna is not only unprepared but unwil-
ing TO make the attempt. He concludes a long ar
icle by saying
