IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.

IMPORTANT FkOM EAhS,
The New Orleans papers furnish the |
news from Galveston to the oath September,
by which we learn that on the | Ith ult
a party of thirteen hundred Mexcans, under
Gen Wall, surprised and took the town of
San Antonio, with some fifty white nhabi-
tants. President Houston issued procla-
nation Immediately, calling on the people
to turn out and punish this aggression.
The New Orleans Bulletin says that this
Intelligence, the authenticity of which APP
pears unquestonable, would go to prove not
only that Santa Ana is perfectly serious in
his designs upon Texas, but that the long
contemplated invasion has absolutely taken
place. A body of thirteen hundred men,
under the command of an experienced and
sagacious leader, taking possession of from
tier town, would seem to be the lorerunner
of larger forces and more serious conflicts.
We may therefore be prepared for stirring
news from the young republic.
Galveston was visited 10y most destruct-
i've hurricane on the 10Th ut. The wind
had blown heavily all day, producing very
high tide in the bay and driving the water
over considerable portion of the town, to
the depth of three feet. AT night the vio-
damage was sustained. Among the build
ings injured were the new Episcopal Church,
the walls and steeple of which were rent and
the interior greatly damaged; the Catholic
Church somewhat injured; the stores of
Messrs. Hall, Gladman, John, De Lacy,
Benedict, and several others suffered more or
less injury. A number of small market YES
sells were injured or lost. The loss of prop
erty is over ten thousand dollars Fortu-
nately no lives were lost"
The New York Herald states that the
President of Texas has revoked the block
AIDE of the ports of Mexico, in order to al
low more favorable opportunity for the
mediation of England and the United
States.
The Austin Gazette asserts that Sam
Houston received 800, 900 as bride to re-
lease Santa Ana, after the Battle of San
Jacidto.
" The following article from the New York
Tribune furnishes another illustration of locofoco
honesty and consistency.
