Affairs I'm Texas and Mexico.
From the Corpus Christi Gazette, Feb. raj
THE ARMY OF OccurArIoS-we understand that or.
ders last arrived for breaking up the sncamp
ment Of the army of occupation" here, and it, removal
vey the route from the he ad Of Padre Island the Cor
pus Christi pass down the west side OF the Island OPP
pose Point Isabel the Brassos de santiago-and
also the the main land from twenty to thirty
miles west OF the Lsguna del Madre, terminating at
Point Isabel From all can learn Point Isabel 10 the
to DO there and the object Of their going, to
profound mystery. One thing is certain II the United
States about to occupy the east bank of the Rio
Grande and have any desire make that occupation
permanent one they must send there much stronger
force than the one now They should not forget
that in twenty days from the time we are giving this
information there can be, and probably will be, 600
Mexican troops within two days march OF Point Isabel
In all military matters there Is no error more fatal than
that Of holding enemy in too slight estimation. In
stead OF backeyed senoras and the welcome Of friends
some less agreeable subjects to digest before they take
up permanent residence upon the banks OF the Rio
feror those OF the United States Cover nment itself
The policy which has dictated the removal Of the camp
from this place, have reason to believe Is founded in
error
M.xrco-we have Just received a very interesting
letter under dato of February 4h from friend iiv
ing in Of the frontier towns the Rio Gande, in
which he says sin all revolutions 10 Mexico there
has been deoite object in view (ahough that object

still supposed be in favor OF monarchy but the pro-
gramme Of the party IL the establishment Of an oil
garchy.

This party wshi to destroy forever the privileged
clerical powers The clergy and other religious orders
In Mexico, omprise about 1000 altogether, and are d.
out
posed to side with the liberal party.
Atpresent the army united against the peoples and
this will unite all against the usurpation Of Gen.
Paredes.
The people, as body are ripe for resistance terrible
private grievances and convinced the absolute
sity Of combinng all tn r energies, will most cordially
unite to destroy The dangerous Of the which
has hitherto been employed solely for their injury"
We would be glad to give readers further extracts
rom the letter Of our put q. they relate

improper to compromise the affair by any direct auson
to It, The news fir Mexico, in next will be Of an
highly interesting character.
