A letter dated at New Orleans on the
26,h ult., after mentioning the emb"ka-
ton of the troops for Texas, which, mao
been for some lime waiting al the bar
racks before that city, for orders iro"
Major Donelson, makes the following
remarks upon the proiuseness OF oSpe"-
anure which attends ,bc moyemcDls Oh
.hsse troops. :.
"There il certainly more waste ane.
extravaganza, and less orsan':'a''on o'

there are checks and guards thrown
round she expenditure u money, mere
arc more, at least more than one at al
events, as regards ahc consump''o" and
disposition OF stores and supplies ol every
kind after they are purchased and paid
for. am led 10 these remarks by re-
| collections Of the Florida war and seeing
the immense quantity Of every KIND o'
supplies for this small army vastly moss
than should suppose such BODY o.
men could, under any circumstances re-
1uire, and the largest portion OF winch Il
probably destined To- be lost, wasted OF
abandoned, or spoiled in the woods a"t

tho purchases that many a'ttcns ad
vanced in pricc-pork for osc, whici
rose two dollars per barrel-and OF o'he
items the market was completely swept
"There also always appears grea
want Of knowledge or tact IN mak'nt
contracts for the Government, nnd tn
most cxtravagant rates are paid, as IN
s,anced in The charter Of vessels b,
ste amboats for this expedition, which II

TEXAS AND MEXICO.

The following letter is from mint whose COIN
ege passes current everywhere. II will circulate by
its own value; though, il we at liberty TO give
to it its authors name, we might stamp 1t at once
with additional attraction. II is rapid, bold, and
ELOQUENT view of some Of the advantages which are
to emanate from the annexation Of Texas. II
goes further, and paints, with few irresistible
strokes of the pencil the duties which we owe to
this great continent, to spurn the foreign Interior
ence of the sovereigns Of Europe with its great po-
Ditical relations. Would that we could prevail upon
the same pen to expose the consequences Of the
new doctrine of Mr. Guzot, upon the subject of the
"bslance of power in America and upon the al
legged duty Of "that assuming brother Of Europe,
to prevent either of the three great powers the Uni
ted States, England, and those of Spanish descent)
from, obtaining any preponderance here. Mr..
Guizots position seems rather to be particular
ly aimed against the idea Of our obtaining pre-
