LATEST FROM THE ARMY.

We learn from the government paper which was
issued yesterday g that information has been re-
ceived at the War Department from Gen. TAy-
: LoR as late as the 10th of last month. He was
: then taking efficient measures to render his po-
siton entirely secure from any attack. Indeed,
: there were at that time no serious approximations
on that account The information he possessed
induced him to believe that The MericanS did moi
: think Of aSsaiiing him, or euen Of crossing ht
: Rio Grande, al least for some time to come
: The accounts from the west side of the Rio
: Grande furnish no news of any importance, and
there were no regular troops that river except al
: Matamoras, and no preparations then going for
: aoard for crossing TO the east bank."
The foregoing information is authentic, of course
and is the latest from the Texan frontier. Yet
Notwithstanding this, the same paper in an article
Immediately preceding the above, where figure OF
speech is wanted to defend the course of the Ad-
minisraton in its proceedings against Mexico,
states as facts, that "Mexco seems determined to
renew her attack upon Texas. She has threat
ened to declare war upon US, and Is marching
seUsral thousand troops to The frontier, TO cross
The Rio Gra,ade, and thus claim possession, as a
foundation for the exorbitant pretensions she may
= urge when the boundaries of the two countries
are to be adjusted. Must we quietly fold our
arms and see her troops invade the very land that
we claim, and lay waste the very people whom
we have invited TO join us? Is such course
consistent with our honor or our rights I!
We suppose the official paper will say of these
conflicting statements, as it recently did of two
contradictory statements on another subject, that
g neither of them is true!'

FROM PERL.

A letter received at Boston, dated at Lima on the
18th July, states that the differences arising from
series of insults offered by the Peruvian authorities
TO British subjects, and to the British Consul al
africa and Tacna, which once gave rise TO serious
apprehensions of rupture with England, have been
amcably settled by the Peruvian Government ac-
ceding to the moderate demands of the British
Charge d'Affaires. These difficulties originated in
some outrage committed upon British property by
the revolutionary Peruvians lately in arms against
Gen. Castillo, now the President of Peru.
