on itsway to Oregon, 10 protect British

from the language used by the officers OF
the British squadron here, we are led TO
believe that the report is correct. IN

Forgeries ON the New Banks.

We learn that a practical illustration
Of the whig motto, that blanks are benz
eft 10 the people, lately came TO pass,
through person who vas one OF the most
busy in bringing them into existence last
fall. One of the most noisy wings in the
county, il is said, has committed forgeries
10 the amount of several thousand dollsrs
on the new banks Of this city, and lef.
for parts unknown. He goes upon the
doctrine of safety 10 the hill.holjer,'
without reference TO the profit of the
banker. But it is family matter, and
they settle it. The banks are whig, the
names that are forged are, whig, and the
man that done il is wbig!--so 60 il,
boots! II is only the commencement Of
the scheme, and this fellow thought he
would take the start. When these bauks
blow up, they will give this as one Of the
reasons for not redeemiDg their notes.
Mark it.
We learn that this individual lost about
two thousand by the failure of the Smiths
red dog. He is certainly trying to get
even, and we venture 10 say, that If lie
is caught, he will pay the penalty in the
penitentiary, while the Smiths are suffer-
ed 10 60 at large for swindliDg him in the
first place, and they will soon be able to
go banking under the new law.--!SAntes-

LATEST sTINFORMATION FROM OUR
TROOPS in. TEXAS.

TExAs.--The ship Suvial,, Captain Glib
bons, arrived here yesterday from the
bay ofAransas. She left the anchorage
at that place on the 16Ih. Nothing has
has transpired of any interest since our
last accounts from that point. Previous
to the vessels sailing, the steamer Mon.
mouth came of, and reported that war
had been declared. How the news reach
ed our force on the mainland, we are not
informed. 1t may be that General Tay>
lor had received recent intelligence 10
that effect from the frontier; and then a.
gain 1t may have been repetition of the
lnenacing news received here short time
since. #
Capt. Gibbon confirms the news Of the
loss ofthe Swallow. The greater portion
Of her cargo was lost.
General Taylor, with his command had
left the neighborhood of ST Joseph's and
established himself al San Patricio.
No further Intelligence has reached us
regarding the movements of the Mexi-
cans.
The captain ofthe Suviah reports, that
on the 18th he saw the schooner L. S.
Lamden, bound for Aransas, with govern.
ment stores. On the Goth, l(0 miles es /
OF s. w: Pass, saw the Schooner Mary
Wilkes, also for Aransas, with covers.
ment storcs.-N 0. Jefersonian, Aug. %
San Patricio, the point at which the
troops are now posted, is the site of a de-
serted Mexican "mission," and previous
to the Texan resolution, il contained
several hundred inhabitants, but for the
last three or four years there has scarcely
been a dozen persons living in the place.
1t is situated on the east bank of the Nue>
ces, about twenty-five miles above the
mouth of the Unaon.

sas Bay, having sailed on the llth, She re.
ports that nearly all Of the third and
fourth regiments Of the United States
troops under the commend of General
Taylor, had been conveyed by the steam.
er Undine, from 81. Josepl,'s Island to
Corpus Christi. M
General Tsy lor had not heard Of any
Mexican troops being within annoying
distance ofhim. II is hardly probable
from his present position that he could
have received the Intelligence, should
such have been the fact. lie had already
crossed the Nueces and planted the Uni
ted States Flag 10 the ancient depart
ment OF Tamaulipas; he had only to sleep
upon his arms and await the approach OF
the Mexican army, it having been de,
creed, it will be recollected by that gov
ernment, that the passage of the Rubicon,
BY the United States troops, would DC
considered as declaration OF war.
There was no sickness al all among the
troops, the mir was verj fine and nights
cool, with good breeze night and day
from sea; there was plenty Of the best
kinds of provisions, consisting OF wild
deer and all kinds Of game; fresh beet
plenty at two cents per pound.
At the time the Queen Victoria sailed,
II wcs understood at Aransas, that one
thousand Mexican troops were actively
engaged in fortif,i ing Matamoros; and
that larger bodies Of Camanches were
mareuvering on the plain country, be-
tween the mountains and the Rio Grande.

Of last month. lie was then taking eff
cient measures 10 render his position er'
tirely secure from any attack. Indeed
there we're, atthat time, no serious appre.
tensions on that account. The informa.
tion he possessed induced him to believe
that the Mexicans did not think OF assail'
ing him, or even of crossing the Rio
Grande-at least for some time TO come.
The accounts from the west side of the
Rio Grande furnished no news of any i'm.
portance; and there were n regular troops
on that river, except at MatamOras, and
no preparations then going forward for
crossing TO the east bank. The Cd regi,
