FROM TEXAS

EEE
BY the arrival Of the steam packet New York,
Capt. Wright, we have received our files Of
Texas papers to the 10th inst, inclusive. The
New York was delayed at Galveston three days
on account Of the non-arrival of the Houston
steamer.
The papers before US are almost destitute of
news. The Neps Of the 10th speaks of some
specimens OF sugar from the plantation Of Mr..
John Sweeny, on the San Bernard, in Brazoria
county, which for color, taste and grain are said
to equal the very best produced i'm Louisiana
~ is further stated that this sugar can be afforded
at a lower price than that demanded for the Lou.
isiana qualities.
Such oil the Texian prisoners who have re-.
turned from Mexico as we have converted with.
are of opinion that no serious design Of invading
Texas il entertained by Santa Anna. Some Of
the friends Of the Dictator even 60 so far as to
say that he never seriously contemplated such a
movement ; but, having made the non prosecus
ton Of the war among other objections against
his predecessors in the government, he was
Obliged to make some pretence Of d desire to
prosecute II himself In order to aInuse the peo-
pie, as well as to afford q preteRce for such rigor.

Under the head Of "a new Revolution in
Mexico the Houston Telegraph ofthe 9Th inst,
has the following, which may be true, but which
wants confirmation :-ssA gentleman has just ar.
rived in this city from the west, who states that
i report has been brought 10 San Antonio, that
all Northern Mexico along the Rio Grande is
now in a state of revolt against the Dictator
The report, as brought BY a Mexican Major,
who represents himself as having deserted from
General VOLTS Army, is, that Arista is now
marching for the city Of Mexico with an Army
Of l7,O0O-that he is already beyond the noun.
tains, and that his numbers are daily and rapid.
" increasing by fresh recruits from all the sur.
rounding country. Il is stated that the spirit Of
revolution is universal and overwhelming. a.

MEXICO.

BY the arrival of the schooner JwnidfG, we
have received our files of Mexican papers to the
I'd inst.
The most important news by this arrival, is
the refusal of the Chambers of Deputies TO vote
the loan required by the Mexican government
to carry ON the campaign against Texas. The
government had presented to the two branches
Of Congress a project OF law authorizing a ma
tional or foreign loan of ten millions of dollars,
for the purpose Of defraying the expenses of the
Texan war. The committee appointed by the
Chamber Of Deputies to examine the project,
reduced the amount required to six millions
The bill was referred to another committee, in
whose hands the amount was a second time re.
duced TO three millions. In this shape il was
submitted to Congress on the 18th ult., and was
discussed with great ardor and vehemence.-
The bill was sustained by Messrs. Tornel and
Rodriguez, and vigorously combatted by Messrs.
Sagaceta and Rosa. On the 10Th a vote was
taken and the bill rejected-44 to III.
+ We learn, moreover, that the utmost diseord
prevails between the Government ana Congress.
This want of mutual understanding clogs all the
operations of the administration. Don Ignacio
Trigueros has resignedthe office of Minister Of
Finance. Eco. Lombarao has been appointed
Minister ad interim. The best informed in
Mexican affairs believe that a revolution is in.
evitable.
Uruena, the individual who maltrcated a
French sailor so brutality, has been condemned
TO Imprisonment for eight years, but has appeal.
ed from the Judgment The Mexican papers at
tempt to prove that this mans crime has been
grossly exaggerated.
A Frenchman by the name Of Bardet, who
had discovered several coal and quicksilver
mines in the environs of Guanajusta, has com
menced a litigous controversy with the Govern.
ment, which has refused TO fulfil its engagements
towards him. This adds another to the various
causes Of strife between France and Mexico.
An a~trocious murder was committed a few.
weeks since in the city of Mexico, by an indi.
vidual named Navarro, on the person of a
Frenchman, named Jean Baptiste Charroin.-
The latter had demonstrated with Navarro for
taking improper liberties with a young girl,
when the miscreantdrew a poignard and plunged
it three times into the body Of the unfortunate
Frenchman. Navarro was Immediately ar.
rested.
In New Mexico there have been more Indian
disturbances. An attempt was made TO ~assass:-
nate the Governor in his own house. Fortunate.
ly it was unsuccessful, and the criminal was him.
self killed. Various encounters between In.
dams near Abiquich and the Mexicans had ia.
ken place, in which many men were killed
The Mexicans, as usual, attribute all these col.
lisions to the enmity of the Americans, foolish.
y suPposing that the Indians are supplied with
their ammunition, &C., front the American ira.
ding posts.

The Snow Storm in the western part Of the
State of New York which occurred on the night

mails were carried forward in sleighs. A large
