FROM TEXAS.
The Houston Star, of the Oath May,
contains the following. After men
|tioning the previous rumor that Mexi-
|can troops were concentrating at San
Luis Potosi, the editor remarks:
within few days we have received
intelligence from a respectable source
that these troops have approached the
Rio Grande, and that it is now current
ly reported in Mexico that they are to-
be stationed east of that river. It isl
said that the Mexican government isl
determined to take possession of the
country west of the Nueces; and when
the measure Of annexation is consump-
ted, she will appeal to the world and
declare that, as the territory west of
the Nueces is in possession of her
troops, the claim ofTexas to it is void.
Information has recently been received
at Corpus Christi, that indicates that
Mexico is playing deep scheme of
treachery. We are happy to state
here that arrangements have been made|
to obtain accurate information of theI
of the Mexican forces, and!
it is believed that our government will
be prepared to repel any incursion|
troops into the disputed ter;
ritory.'
The Galveston News considers the;
Mexican intelligence lately received
here as confirming the belief that Pres
ident Jones has been Systematically
eudeavoring 10 throw obstacles in the'
way of the joint resolution. 1t takesl
precisely the same view of the procla-
nation calling-a convention as we do,
viz: that its language evidently shows
that President Jones will have otherI
matters besides annexation to submit toll
the convention.
Hon. David G. Burnet has beens
nominated for the convention at Har-s
risburg and San Jacinto. /
