BY the steamer New York from Galveston, we
have received files Of Texan papers TO the Iih In
slant. The Galveston News OF that date, informs
the public that the sloop ii. l.. Kinney Capt Lewis,
arrived at Galveston Sunday, the 5th Instant from
Corpus Christi, bearing the following important m
lellgence, which came by express from Matsmoias
Official news had arrived at Matsmors. from the
interior Of Mexico, that General Paroles al the head
OF 900 men, had marched against Santa Anna who
had then with him 10 900 troops. The latter retired
before his adversary To tho city Of Peubla his soldiers
deserving IN large bodes where conflict took place,
and Santa Anna was completely defeated being
obliged to take flight almost alone, In common We
hcie Of the country assuming disguise In order To
facilitate his escape Particulars of the battle had
not reached Matamoras at the time Of the despatch
of the express.
Ii is, however, presumed by our Galveston con
temporary, that the affair must have been a sangui-
| nary one, the common result Of Mexican triumphs.
In the north Of Mexico, as is learned from the
source, Generals Arsta and Canales at the head Of
a large body Of troops were al the same time ma rch
ing against General VOL, who still held out for San
| Ia Anna and Centralsm.
The revolution broke out ia the city Of Mztamo-
the 18th ut, the arrival of the news of the
success OF the Federal in other parts Of the
Republic. The citizens Immediately assembled in
the most public places, denounced Centralism and
thsir yrant Santa Anna, and proclaimed the supre-
macy OF Federalism. Great tumult was the conse-
quence. Gen. Celia, commandant Of the city, who
sl choose to adhere 10 the fallen fortunes Of Santa
Anna was thrown into prison, and the reyolulionsts
shouting liberty at every point fully established their
triumph. In Monterey the resolutionists committed
some excuses, OF which the particulars have not yet
come To hand. They publicly "butchered," as the
news runs, Gen. Jose Maria Ortega, for holding out
In favor Of Santa Anna.

Trade was brisk at Corpus Christi when the H.

INTERIOR but there was great scarcity Of goods in
the market; the supply there not being sufficient by

News had reached Galveston of the several pro-
Jecs for annexation, now before the United States
Congress, and Col Benton comes in for good share
OF ooloquy for the course he has chosen to pursue.
Every true Texan" says the Galveston News,
will reject (Col. Benton's biID if il pass with the
utmost contempt and indignation. But we hope -
patriotism still remaining in the Congress of the Uni
ted States to defeat any such degrading propositions
We only speak OF it to show how contem ptlble and
ridiculous COL Benton and the party (whoover they
may be) that support the BILL will render
in the eyes of the world and particularly to the c,-
zens of Texas"
To aid in dispelling all doubts that NAV exist in
the United States, regarding the opposition of an
