The latest news we have from Texas we find
in the n. Orleans Picayune of April l.
Nothing positive seems to have been heard from
the enemy since they left San Antonio, as men
toned two weeks ago. The Galveston corespon-
dent of the Picayune says: "We have had lots Of
rumors about the number and movements OF the
enemy, but they have been either false or grossly
exaggerated. The truth is that about 1000 Mex
leans, belonging apparently, 70 the regular army,
made their appearance at san An'ona and Go'iad,
and have gone back gain. Whether there are
any more of them to come, how many, and how
soon, are questions yet to be a'ccrtancd. From
all the facts that have come to ourknowlcdgc here,
i, would seem highly probable that Mexico Is ma
king extensive preparations TO invade this coun-
try. and that a very considerable force hasalrCady
collected OH the frontiers Of Texas for this pur-
pose this much we are bound TO believe from the
light before US. The war has been commenced
by Mexico, and ,cW go on, whether the enemy
makes any further hostile demonstrations or not.
The work of preparation is going on with unabat-
ed vigor. Every man who has not gone in pursuit
of the enemy is employed in putting the island IN
to a state Of defence"
A proclamation has been published by Gcn.
Houston declaring the ports Of Mexico ON the Gulf,
in state of blockade, and neutral vessels are for
hidden to trade to the prohibited points.
Metamoras will be the first place of attack. The
LATTE has left Galveston for that place with a
force sufficient it is believed to takcit Thcpont
will be convenient FOR tic Texans to make per-
mancnt establishment, where supplies and rein
forccments can readily be obtained from sea.
A general order is also published, announcing
that the main army commanded by Gen. Somcr-
,ille is under marching uricrs ,or some point be-
You'd the Rio Grandc, and directions are given TO
recruits TO enlist as for campaign in the enemy
country. To such adventures as reside in the
eastern counties, among whom, no doubt, emf
grants are included, the advice is given to embark
at Galveston, and join the army by sea at Me-
tamOras.

a resolution of the house requesting the
president and the heads of the several de-
partmen,s to communicate 10 the house
the names Of such members of the 2Glh
and 9th congress rs have been applicants
to them for Office. The president retus-
rs compliance with the request of the
house, and gives his reasons at consldera-
bic length. The message was laid on the
table and ordered to be printed.
The house then went into committee OF
the whole and resumed the consideration
of the loan bill.
Mr.. Wise submitted an amendment the
effect of which was to repeal the distribu-
ton clauses of the distribution law of theeX-
ira session, and pledge the proceeds Of the
public lands to the repayment OF the loan.
The question Of order was raised on
this amendment, and the chair decided that
it was in order. From this decision an
appeal was taken, and before it was dis
posed of, the house found itself without Il
quorum and so adjourned.
Mrch 2i.--Senaic--tmong the rcso-
lutions offered this morning was one by
Mr.. Preston declaring that the actual con-
dition of the finances of the country re-
Quircs that a loan should be authorized
for an amount sufficient for the present cX-
igencv, and on terms which will ensure
It's success. Mr.. Preston accompanied
the resolution with some remarks express
siye of his regret and modification at the
condition of the country. 1t lies over.
The bill amcndatOry of so much OF the
distribution law as relates to pre-cmp,ion
rights was taken up, and, after some dis
cusson, finally passed-23 to 20.
Mr.. Clay's rcrenchmcnt resolutions
were then taken up and discussed, with
various propositions by Messrs. Riyes and
Preston to amend, until 4 O'Clock, when
the senate adjourned over to Monday.
L2~c-About half the days session
was fooled away in attempts to amend that
par! Of the Journal of yesterday relating to
the case Of Mr.. Giddings.
The loan bill was then taken up, the
question being ON the appeal from the de.
csiono The chair in relation to Mr.. Wise's
amendment. This was discussed nearly
all day, when, finally, it was decided that
the amendment was out of order. Mr.
Wise then offered another amendment pro.
viding that whenever the stock shall sink
below par, the secretary Of the treasury
shall purchase and redeem it for the USE
Of the government. Without coming to
vote on this amendment the house adj d.

to continue the unpleasant "reminiscences
of the Giddings case was made by Mr.. c.

A resolution was then offered by Mr.
Fillmore and adopted, fixing . o'clock on
Wednesday next as the time for taking the
loan bill out of committee of the whole.
The loan bill was then taken up il
