A writer in the Galveston Times of the 23d urges
the right of Louisiana to the territory OF Texas, and
invites her to assert her sovereignty overit.
Lieut. Bunner, of the Texan navy, according to
the Times. is enlisting men to join Com. Moore, at
the S. w. Pass.
Facco 1.-The noted Lipan Chief, to whom Texas was
chiefly indebted for the friendship of his trlbe has
been murdered. He had returned to the Neueces to
bring horses left behind by the late expedition to
the Rio Grande. There are two conflicting state,
ments relative to the perpetrators, and the manner OF
the murder; one that a Taxan from the Brazos com.
mitted the deed: the other that his body was found
in the vicinity of six others (Cherokees) whom he
most probably killed in the combat which termina
ted with his life. We hope the latter account is true
AS the former would be an incentive to his waver-
ing tribe to become hostile to Texas and as his
murder by the hands of Texan would infilct deep
stain on our escutcheon after his many valuable ser
vices.-Ifmes.
TEXAS AND YUcATAN.-The Columbia Gazette has
the following paragraph a
"Amongst the many subjects discussed in the last
Congress- our relations with Yucatan did not pass
unnot;ced. One of the houses called upon the Pre-.
sdent for intormationas to the intercourse between
the two governments, to which he replied-that he
had no correspondence whatever with Yucatan-
that it was part of Mexico. and thath he looked up
on all communication with It's government as trea-
sonable. We have not yet seen the message"
The Galveston Gazette says:--Gen. Thompson
has asked the release OF Messrs. Jones OF Gonzales
and Maverick on the ground that they are both his
personal friends, and that the latter is relative, and
has been promised that they shall accompany him
on his visit to the U. s. in April. There is pros
pect that Judge Hutchinson will be also released
In relation to the other San Antonio prisoners there
is certainty, but it is believed that the circum-
stances under which they were taken will be justly
considered by Santa Anna on his resumption of the
reins of Government N. Com. Bm. AprH3
FROM CAMpEAcHY-The schooner Margaret Ann,
Captain Holmes, five days from Campeachy, arrived
on Saturday.
The brave and persevering citizens of Campeachy
still hold out against the Mexicans, who continued
to throw into the town from the surrounding helghts
feavy shot and shells. The arrival of succor, how
ever, from sea, was anxiously looked for by the be-
sieged.
The Mexican fleet were lying of Ponte Descon-
ceda, where they landed 5000 men the 10Th inst.
These troops were marching into the interior to-
ward Merida,
The gun boats of Campeachy were cruising off
that port, and were seen By the Margaret Ann TWEEN
ty miles at sea. IL was the intention OF the Cam
peachy forces to attack Lerma, on the 9th March,
by land and sea.-N. 0. Commercial Bulletin, dpI
