| ARRIVAL OF THE SANTA FEANs.
NEWS FROM THE MExICANs, TEXANS,
&c. &c.
The Western Expositor, published
at Independence, of the 3Olh ult. gives
the following important news of the
arrival at that place Of the traders d.
rect from Santa Re. They left Santa
Fe about the 18th of August, and came
by the way of Bent's Fort. They
ieit the company with which they
came, few days ago, about twenty
five in number. They state that the
first ot the traders that went out this
spring, with DR.. East, had all arrived
safe at Santa Fe before they left by The
express, that the other companies were
going on finely and had no doubt gone

had disarmed large portion of the
Texan expedition, and it was not
deemed necessary 10 come any further

to Chihuahua again. 1t is said that
the news of the disarming of the Tex
ians by Captain Cook had powerful
influence upon the Mexicsns, when it
reached Santa Fee. The Americans
were treated with more hospitality and
kindness than they had ever been be-
fore, while, hut a short time previous,
they had been in danger of their lives,
and had been repeatedly insulted by
the popuIace!
The late Texian expedition will not
seriously effect the trade from this TO
the Mexican country, by the overland
route. 1t will have the effect howev-

from again embarking in the trade for
several years TO come. leaving The trade
entirely in the hands Of The American
traders.
Another large company will be in
