From the ~ Orleans Bulletin, March I6
By the packet ship New York, we re.
ceived yesterday Galveston papers to
the 18th instant. We learn from them
and from several TeXian gentlemen
among tho passengers, with whom We
have conversed, that the MeXian army,
under thu command Of ARIsTA, and sta
ted by private Odvlces to be twelve to fif.
teen thousand strong, was on the move
for the subiugation Of the country. AS
will be seen from the extracts given, the
invaders already occupied San Antonio
and Goliad, and were in the vicinity of
Victoria, Matagorda, Austin, &c. desert.

From the Ga7peStOn Paper,
By the steamer Dayton, just arrived
from Houston, we learn that expresses ar.

Monday last, stating that intelligence
had reached that place that San Antonio
was taken by Mexicans on Saturday last.
Captain Dotlon, who brought the inteili-

seems that the whole number of the
Mexican forces within the limits of
Texas, does not exceed thousand men.

MEXICO.
Washington City, Sunday(
evening, 7 P. M.

Dear Sir:-The rumor is very. pre-.
valent this evening that the President
has ordered a squadron TO Mexico to
demand the liberty Of the American
citizens prisoners, at twenty four hours
notice, or in case Of refusal our Minister
is to demand his passports and repair
to The squadron, there to await further
orders.
an officer Of the army also left here
yesterday, with orders for the 9th re
gimenial Infantry and five companies
Cd Dragons TO repair forthwith to the
Sabine river TO prevent any interference
on the part of the American citizen:
with The affairs OF Texas.

MEXICO AND TEXAS.

The news from Texas, gveu in an
other part OF this paper, will command
the attention Of the reader. SANTA
ANNA, now President Of Mexico, has
found means 10 pay his soldiers, and
inspire them with a determination 10
regain Texas. Gen. ARIsTA, command
ing the expedition against Texas, has
published an address to the "inhabiants
Of the department Of Texas,' in which
he attempts to convince them that duty
interest, and many other high consider
atoms, should at once Danish the idea
Of their maintaining independence, and
induce their speedy reunion with Mex
leo. On the other hand, President
HoUsToN has issued his "Proclama,ion
TO the army and citizens Of Texas"
calling on them 10 rally in defence Of
their country and its Liberty. HoUsroN
proclaims that "Texians can and will
be free"! A war Of ex termination seems
to be inevitable. 1t will be seen that,
now as in 1886, many citizens Of New
Orleans are forming themselves into
companies and repairing 10 Texas to
take part in the opening struggle. Two
agents or Commissioners, on the part
of Texas, have also made public call
upon the citizens of the Mississippi Val
ley, for men and means 10 enable Tex.
as the better to sustain herself against
the Mexican invaders. 1t will be worth
while 10 observe, whether our Govern.
ment vii now as in 1886, permit her
neutrality TO be violated by her own
citizens, in the war between Mexico
and Texas? Or whether, as in the case
Of the Canadian Patriot war, she will
take active and even precipitate mea
sures TO prevent the interference Of our
citizens in the struggle Of the belliger.
