EXPEDITION AGAINST SANTA Fr.--The
Houston Morning Star Of tine I'd, noticing the
minors in this country Of the collection Of an
armed body on the frontiers Of Missouri, and
the apprehensioos that they were raised for
the purpose Of planderi"g the Santa Fe traders,
as well as the order OF our government send.
ing out troops for the protection Of the traders,
says, Ill.,, ooo
have engaged in this expedition, is evidence
that it is not intended merely to rob the Santa
Fe traders. for 80 men would be sufficient for
this purpose. We have little doubt that this
force is intended to take possession Of Santa
Fe. As it has probably marched long before
this time, it may no. be improper to publish
some facts respecting an expedition against
Santa Fe. which. have hitherto been kept Sc.
cret. 1t appears that Gen. Houston, abou, ten
months ago, when he issued his proclamation
announcing his intention to invade Mexico,
granted commission TO Col. War6eld;of Mis-
souri,, and authorized him TO collect band Of
volunteers among the Rocky Mountain hunters
and hack woodsmen Of the frontiers If Texas
and Missouri, for the purpose Of overturnng
the authority Of the Centrallsts in Santa Fe.
Gen. Houston had received assurances iha,
the citizens Of Santa Fe were willing 10 come
under the jurisdiction Of Texas, but were only
restrained by the fear Of Gen. Atmijo and his
ruffia" soldiery. Col. Warfeld declared that
with 300 men he could easily expel Armiio
and his adherents, and Immediately after Re.
ceiving his commission from Gen. Houston he
Sc, out for ST. Louis to commence operations.
On his arrival there last summer, he met with
some disappcintmrn,s, owing to the pecuniary
entertainments Of his friends. and he proceed
ed I" Baltimore to procure funds in tina; city.
Nothing was heard from him Tot several
months after he left ST. Louis, and it vas sup
posed he had given up The expedition IN des.
pair. The recent intelligence from the west.
ern borders Of Missouri induces us to behave
that the armed force on the borders of Nilsson
ri has been collected by Col. WarfeId or his
friends; and instead Of being band Of rob-
bers. is merely band Of 7srian Emigranis.
who are authorized by the Texan Government
10 settle in Santa Fe. And as they are pruba-

States and within the limits Of Texas. the
troops Of the Tinted States will be unable 10

A FLARE UP IN CoURT.-A curious oc-
currence has lately taken place in PhiIa-
delphia, between the judges Of the Court
of Quarter Session. and the Grand Jury.
The Court discharged the jury but those
gentlemen refused to be discharged while
they had business before them. and hand
ed in a protest against the action of the
court. The judges received the protest
and after consultation repeated the dis
charge and directed the clerk to enter i.
upon the minutes. The foreman of the
jury then rose and stated tina. the jury had
adjourned TO NEE. again on The next day
and that they intended so to meet.
The Times Of the 18th says -" The
Grand Jury. in obedience to the orders Of
the Judge, is going on with lis business.
The Court told the Grand Inquest on
Wednesday morning tina, i. wished them
to visit the prisons yesterday, and would
issue an order TO the County Commission
ers 20 furnish them with conveyance
Yesterday morning the court counterman-
tled the order 10 the Commissioners. and
Judge Jones also sent word 10 the officers
of the county prison and eastern peni,en-
tiary that the Grand jury had been dis
charged. A commit,ee of the Grand In.
qnes, waited upon the Commissioners, and
the resol. Of the conference was the i,nme>
diate appearance in front Of the Grand Ju-
~ room Of coach and four. The driver
having instructions TO pay. every instruc-
ton to the Grand Jurors. The Grand In
quest then having obtained permits from
the Inspectors as visitors, forthwith start.
ed for the prisons.
The court was adjourned until to-mor-
row morning. when we may anticipate
something unusual. The court house will
be crowed., no doubt. to see The result
In the first place the Grand Jury will
make their usual presentnen. TO the court.
The Judge considering the jury discharg-
ed. will probably order the members 10
.it down. They will refuse. The Judge
will commit them all to prison for con-
tempt. Wri,s Of habeas corpus will then
be taken out. and they will appear. we
suppose. before the Supreme Court. That
question will then be decided. In the
mean time the jury will prepare articles Of
impeachment, and heaven only knows
where the disturbance will terminate.
