LkrRsr FROM TExA..-Ths New York arrived al
New Orleans on the a6th ult from Galveston. we
have received dates TO the oath ult The only news
from the army which the papers contain Is the ac
count of Colonel Fishers surrender, which Captain
Aud handed on board the New York IN the Gull on
her outward passaee The Texan Congress ad-
ourned ON Monday. the 10Th A bill had been passed
providing for the frontier defence. Ii is the general
Impres sion that Texas will probably be invaded in
the spring. and a writer SAYS they are preparing TO
hold mass meeting" on the occasion. DR.. Hill
has been appointed Secretary of War and Marine
The following foreign appointments have also been
made by the President and confirmed by the Senate:
Charles II. Raymond, Secretary of Legation to the
United States; Lachlan Mcintosh Rate Consul
General tor Great Britain; Francis b. Ogden, Con-
sui Tor Liverpool; Alfred Fox, Consul for Famouth
John Graham Stewart Consul Tor Glasgow; John
koXburgh, Consul for Greenock Thomas Were
FOX, Consul tor Plymouth; John Atkinson, Consul
Tor hlngston-upon-fiull. The total amount OF re-
venue from customs for the three quarters ending
Oct 81, was Sl02, 06S expense OF collection Sl5,l3
Every indication, says the Civilian, favors me
idea that the amount Tor the coming year Will be
greater; and as the appropriations promise to De even
less than the amount expected TO be collected under
the tariff alone, there will be surplus TO the
amount OF the direct taxes. and there seems TO De
fair prospect that the country will be IN situation to
begin pay It's old debts, and thus re-estabsh the
standing tor integrity, which, by Productivity and
want OF management, rather than disposition 10
disregard its obligations, 1t was forced 10 impair by
a failure TO meet the demands of its creditors The
French emigrants lately arrived at Galveston, on
their way to the County of Bexar, brought ou,
large number OF choice grape cuttings. There is
lile doubt that Texas will eventually be a delicious
wlne country-partcularly in It's western regions
Nearly all descriptions of grape may be found there
IN wild state, and we have there seen many acres
OF land In body entirely covered with low creeping
and lofty climbing vines.
