ship Alert, Captain Phelps, OF this port.
This vessel was at anchor in the harbor
of San Diego, last October, end had near

tclligence was received of declaration
Of war between the United States and
Mexico and Of the capture of Monterey
by Com, Jones; and that.the soldiers from
San Pedro "a place about three miles
from San Diego had received orders TO
proceed forthwith and capture the Alert.
On the 2Sth of October the intelligence
was confirmed by party of hunters

The New Orleans Bee of 2Sth April
ccntllns ,he following information, in re-
gard to the affairs of Texas, and her rela-
tons 10 Mexico, to the United States, TO
France, and to great Britain. -
BY the late arrival from Texas we have
been furnished, through our private cor
respondents, with information Of an in
,eresting character. /. is now certain
that the Governments of the United States
Of England, and of France have joined IN
demonstrating against the predatory war
rarriel on by Mexico against Texas. The
instructions Of the United States Secretary
nfState to Gen. THOMPSON Tour Minister
10 Mexico) arc quite explicit in declaring
the war, ms conducted by Mexico, to be
contrary To the laws of nations. Mr.
WEBSTER asserts the undnubted right OF
Mexico 10 re-suhjuga,e Texas if she can,
by the common and lawful means OF
war; but that other nations are interc sted.
more particularly the United States, in the
manner in which the war shall be con
Quoted.
We have no doubt that Mr.. WEBSTER
has also addressed letters to the United
States Charge in Texas. offering 20 medi-
ute between the two Powers. and to dis
courage retaliatory Eruption into Mexico
We understand that The instructions of
the French Cabinet To their Minister in
Mexico are more precmPtory and decided
than those of the United States or British
Governments; and, from the position as
samcd by those Powers, the impression
is gaining ground in Texas that the con-
s:St Is drawing to a close.
We learn from our private correspon-
dencc that the commissioners Of Texas,
who arrived in New Orleans few days
before the sailing Of the Texan fleet, had
instructions from President IIousToN to
demand the vessels of war from Commo-
dore MOORE. and to apply to the United
States authorities for aid in taking posses
sion Of them IN case the Commodore re-
fused to surrender them. They had like
wise proclamation from President llous-
ton dcnouncing the expedition as pira6.
cai aud unauthorized by Government, in
The event the vessels could not be taken.
Commodore MooRE, we are Informed.
lntlmaled to the commissioners that he
wonld proceed to Galveston and have
talk with the President upon the matter,
which induced them to keep quiet until
he got ready to go TO sea- One CT the
commissioners went on board the .4ustin
with the Commodore, thinking to have
pleasant trip to Galveston in Govern
ment vessel; but we learn through gen
ileman, who also set sail in the .Ausfin
for Texas on matter of business. that
the Commodore informed him at the Ba-
lie that ifhe was anxious to get to Tex
as soon he had better get on shore. as he
did no. expect to be there himself in
hurry. The gentleman took the hint and
Left the ship.
We learn also that the last packet car
riel on; an official notification to Judge
Eve (our Charge in Texas of his recall
and the appointment Of Wm. S. MuRrnY
10 his place.

The Crops. Some of the wheat in
this region looks very fine, but the major
part off! we think has a much poorer az
pearence, than wheat usually has this
time in the spring. The wetness of the
season has prevented many farmers from
sowing as much oats as they intended.
The rain this week has thrown many
back with their complaining, but should
1t keep clear now, the ground will be dry
enough next week, which we think will
be early enough. All the corn that we
have seen up is pale and sickly looking.
