The s.. Louis Republican Of the nth,
received by the New Brasil on Thursday,
contains the following important and mel-
anchely intelligsncs from Texas. Al
though doubts are expressedas to the en-
tyre correctness of TIE statement In rela-
ton to the progress Of the MEXICAN forces,
It seems to Be certain that hos,ilities have
again been commenced on the part Of Mex
leo with the view Of recovering Teyas.
The spread Of this intelligence will crc-
ate lively sensation throughout the Uni
ted States, and if confirmed, will be the
signal for thousands whose sympathies are
enlisted in favor Of the republic Of the
lone star 70 rush to her defence.
The death Of Gen. HowAaD, at the mo-
ment he was about entering on the dis
charge Of important and responsible pub.
lie duties, viii be received throughout the
West with the sincerest regret. Emf
ment alike for talents and private virtues
he has left behind him but few who car
assert prospects Of achieving worldly hon.
ors and distinction equal to those which
were his. asae ss.
LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
TEXAS.
At an early hour yesterday morning
says the N. Orleans Pcayune Of the 9th
TEAM vessel, the schooner Star, arrived
at this port, twelve days from Galveston
having on board Mr.. E. o. Conn, with
dispatches for the United States Govern.
ment, and for the British and French
Ministers at Washington City. The des.
patches are supposed to refer to the inva.
sion Of Texas. Gen WoLL, with some
10000 of the advance detachment Of tn,
Mexican army, has it is said, arrived OF
the banks Of the Rio Grande. The des.
patches were forwarded by yesterday,
mail. This is indeed deeply interesting
intelligence, and may be supposed to hav,
created great excitement in Texas. II is
however, but rumor. Many intelligent
gentlemen with whom we have converset
express the opinion that this report is a
least premature. Although such fore,
may be on the march for that base Of III,
future operations Of Mexico against Texas
we are constrained to doubt if they We
have an organized force Of ten thousan.
men ready to cross the frontier.
Our latest dates from Galveston wer,
to the nth ult. We now have dates t,
the oath. The Galveston News Of tina
day is before us, from which we gathe
the following intelligence.
The Hon. TILGnMAN A. HowARp
Minister to Texas from the United States
died at Washington on Friday the 10th ult
He reached there only ten or twelve day
before he died. Truly there seems to b
a fatality connected with the diplomatic
agency Of our country in Texas. Gen
Howard numbers the fourth American
Minister whohas found q grave in that re
public. 1t is but a few weeks since ",
recorded the deaths OF Gen. Mnrdhy, tn,
American Charge, and A. M. Green
Esq, U. S. Consul, with few DAYS 0
each other.
A letter from highly respectable mer
chant IN San Antonio to gentleman i,
Galveston, dated July 18th, says:
You have heard Of the intended invasio,
of Texas by Mexico, and must say an
Of the positive impression it is true, as III,
Mexicans living in this place have receiv
ed many letters from their friends the 9th
er side Of the Rio Grande, confirming III,
news. \.
After the above was prepared, we learn
ed that the dispatches for our government
were forwarded BY Mr. NEWELL, tn,
American Consul 1t Galveston, to Mr.
BARRErr, the Collector Of this port, witt
limitations Of their importance, and re
guessing him to have them sent with al
despatch to the seat Of government. I,
compliance with this request, the docu
ments left in yesterday mornings mail.
