TExAs-The ship Suviah, Captain Gibbons, ar
rived here Yesterday from the bay of Aransas. She
left the anchorage at that place on the 18th. No
thing has TRANSFERRED of any interest since our last
accounts from that point. Previous to tho vessels
sailing, the steamer Monmouth came off, and re-
ported that war had been declared. How the news
reached our force on the main land, not in
formed. 1t may be that General Taylor had re-
cevcd recent intelligence to that effect from the from
tier; and then again it may have been repetition Gi
the mcnacing news received here short time since.
Captain Gibbons confirms the news of the loss
Of the Swallow. The greater portion of the cargo
was lost.
General Taylor, with his command, had left the
neighborhood Of ST. Joseph's and established him.
self at San Patricio.
No further intelligence has reached us regarding
the movements of the Mexicans.
The captain Of the Suviah reports, that on the
18th he saw the schooner Z. S. Lamden, bound
for Aransas, with government stores. On the 2Oth,
100 miles west of S. W. Pass, saw the schooner
Mary Wilkes, also for Arkansas, with government
storcs.--.N o. JeGersonian, .9ug q.
San Patricio, the point at which the troops arc
now posted, is the site Of deserted Mexican "ms-
sion," and previous to the Texan revolution, it
contained several hundred inhabitants, but for the
last three four years there has scarcely been a
dozen persons living in the place. tits situated on
the east bank of the Nueccs, about twenty FIVE

WESTERN BOUNDARY OF TEXAS.
Is it the Nucces, or the Rio Bravo'

Is it the Nueces, or the Rio Bravos
The Mexican party is disposed to confne Texas
to the Nueces. The National Intelligcncer, the or
gan Of that miserable party chimes in with the no.
ton; and in its article of this morning, would forbid
us to occupy "the country beyond the Nueces and
to the Rio Bravo" and virtually claims it for Next
co, and would allow her to advance her troops and
occupy the whole oft.
For our own part, (and such VIC believe is the feel
ing of every American) we entertain no doubt that
the Rio Bravo del Norte is the true boundary line OF
Texas. Il was uniformly claimed by the United
States, from the moment we acquired Louisiana by
the treaty of 1903. 1t asserted by Jefferson
Madison, Monroe, and by Mr. Clay himself in 1920,
without the slightest question. 1t is claimed by
Texas herself under her organic law and we sue
coed to all the rights of Texas, by her voluntary
acceptance Of our resolutions.
We have British authority before us, which ac-
cident threw this morning in way which we
must array on the American side. 1t is the 2ls,
volume of the q London Encyclopedia of Arts,
Sciences" &C., &C., published in % volumes, in
the course Of the present year. Under the head OF
Terds, it describes it as ga tract of country in

east by the State Of Louisiana, south by the Gulf OF
Mexico and west by the Del Norle--contanng up
wards of 100 600 square miles"

We regret the publication of another article insert
ed as a communication in the 'Cncinnati Enquirer"
which is evidently designed as an assault on the
administration. After parading list of appoint
mcnts from Tennessee and other States, the writer
exclaims: "Not single appointment from any State

rer," protesting to be friend of the administration,

Enquirer proposes to 60 through the various de-

fer from his remarks, in hand. Now, we hope he
will refer to the list of persons in Office here,
and not to the Blue Book-no later edition of which
is published than that of l843. There is great
change since that date; and since the commencement
of this administration, very large number of APP
pointmcnts to Offices located here, have been made
from the Northwest. We have always supposed
that the office of finding fault with administration
was the business of opponents, and not of friends
But come this censurc from whom it may, the adj
mnslration relies for its support upon its principles
and its measures, and upon the great mass of the
people, who vote from no other motive than to adj
vance the great interests of the country; and if
must have opponents, we greatly prefer to meet the
open foe, with his sword drawn and visor down, TO
assailants who whilst they strike, profess to sup
port and befriend us.
We had occasion, few days since, to correct a
most erroneous statement by the Enquirer in regard
to the illegal and useless appointments said to be
made by the Secretary Of the Treasury, of land
Office examiners. AS we stated no such appoint
ments had been made; and we trust to be excused
for suggesting the Enquirer to be first sure as to
the facts, before il makes any future assaults on the
administration.

You are aware that at the head of the lower rap
ids, opposite Montrose, the site of the old govern
ment barracks now abandoned } is the Mormon town
Of Nauvoo, on the Illinois side. The situation, on
rising ground in large bend Of the Mississippi,
is very beautiful The lenple, seen from distance,
now nearly completed, forms quite striking object,
standing the highest ground of the village,
which consists of scattered wood and brick
houses. The population contains a mixture OF
English and Americans among whom, (prnci-
pally their Ieaders) may be found many of the
grandest rascals unhung; while most Of their de-
luded followers are little better than idiots and luna
tics, especially in their superstition.
Il was curious TO sec the fair compilations and
faxen hair of so many fne-ooking English child
rem gathered at one place by their deluded parents,
so far in the interior of the West. Whatever mny
be thought of the haucinaton Of many Of the heads
Of families it is nevertheless true, that, apart from
their monomania of Mo,monsni, they appear to pos
sess not only sound minds, but on other subjects
display a considerable degree of knowledge and in
telligencc. Nowhere in any part of the newly set
tied West will you see so many pretty faces among
the girls and boys as met with at .Nauuoo.
Some families have occasionally left Nauvoo, and
settled on farms or removed to other towns; and so
far recovered their reason as to make useful and
spectacle citizens
One of the hotels (thc Mansion Housc) at Kco-
kuk, where | stopped was kept by an intelligent
family that had removed thther from .Naupoo.
There is strong and prevailing prejudice at the
West, however, against the Mormons, as a sect
Some families among them are as good citizens as
can be found anywhere; while their leaders, in most
cases, are arrant knaves Besides, good deal Of
mischief is done by base people, and charged upon
the Mormons.
Such is the unfavorable impression the American
emigrants to the West have Of them, that they will
settle near them. Land in their proximity is not
worth much as elsewhere. Nobody seems to
want them for neighbors.
