FROM TEXAS.

The Picayune has received late number Of the
Houstonian from which the following intelligence is
cleaned. The Texans were anticipating formal
coepition BY Great Britain Of the independence OF
Texas by the former power The declaration that
the blockade Of Mexican ports would be respected,
and the tone of the British Minister'S reply, afford
sufficient grounds for this supposition.
The volunteers left in command Of Captain Allen,
at Carlos Rancho, recently disbanded at Egypt
on the Colorado Most of these men finding their
services no longer required, instead Of returning to
the United States dissatisfied and in a destitute con-
dition, have dispersed throughout the country and
engaged in farming.

tractor finding it impossible to defray his expen

The Mexcans will continue to harass the frontier
settlements until favorable opportunity for invasion
is presented. Their movements, however, will be
closely watched and renorccmenis sent there when
ever necessity requires their presence. Col. Cook,
