FRoM TEXAS AND Mexico. BY The arrival Of
the steamer Galveston, from Galveston at New
Orleans, we have dates to the 18th. The Corpus
Christi Gazette of the 18th confirms the news we
received few days ago, that the Army of Occu-
patton has received orders TO break up their camp
at Corpus Christi and remove to the Rio Grande
The Gazette says:
PARTIES have been sent out to survey the route
from the head of Padre Island, at the Corpus
Christi pass, down the west side of the Island, op.
posite Point Isabel near the Brassos de Santiago /;
and also the route on the main land from twenty to
thirty miles West of the Laguna del Madre, ter-
minating at Point Isabel. From all we can learn,
Point Isabel is the destination of the Army of Oc-
cupaton.' What they are TO do there, and the OBJ
ject of their going are to us a profound mystery"
Messrs. Vanzant and Kaufman are candidates for
the U. States House of Representatives for the
Eastern and Northern District of Texas.
The Houston Morning Star informs its readers
there is little doubt that Generals Houston and
Rusk will be our Senators in the United States
Congress.
Among the passengers by the Galveston, were
number of officers of the u. S. Army and also
Mr. Elliott, late Brittanic Charge d'Afars to Tex
as.
The New Orleans papers are filed with what
processes to be later Mexican news via Corpus
Christi, which the Intelligencer disposes of as fol-
lows:
The Now-Orleans papers received last night APP
pear to us to attach undue importance to the con
tents of an Extra of the Corpus Christi Gazette,
under date Of the 18th inst protesting to give late
and important news from Mexico. On gla1cinr
over this bulletin, we discover that the Mexican
dates correspond precisely with those brought to
Pensacola some time since, by the brig Somers
and that part which relates to Mr. SlideU is evil
IDENTITY nothing more than new version of the
same news. 1t is true, however, that Gen. Arista
has not pronounced against the new Government.

LATER-Thc New Orleans Pica,une of Feb.
18th says
By the arrival of the brig Tit, from Havana, we
have advices, brought by the British steamer Tevi-
OF, from Vera Cruz to the 3 LIST Jam, and from the
city of Mexico to the 9th.
These advices are several days later than we had
previously received, but the intelligence has never
thcess been mostly anticipated
From the tenor of the papers we infer that Gen.
Arista has attempted no revolution--has made no
movement whatever against the Government OF
Gen. Paroles.
El Didrio del Gobieyno, of the 2lst Jan. says
that the whole country has given in its adhesion to
the plan of San Luis Potos.
Nothing is said of Yucatan, though the Havana
papers were fully aware that she had withdrawn
from the Mexican confederacy.
BY this arrival no light whatever is thrown upon
the actions Of Mr. Sllde 1t is mentioned that
after repeated solicitations he obtained all escort
to leave Mexico.
Neither do we see anything to confirm the re-
port Of raising an army Of 10000 men for the re-
covery of Texas.
But measures have been taken, beyond all doubt
to increase the effective military force of Mexico
and the for Texas is the single pretex for the
same.
The Mexican editors continue to exhibit grea
suspicion, and even ALARM in regard to the United
States naval forces on their Pacific coast
Our readers need not to be informed as to tia
squadron but the Mexicans attribute to Com. Sloa
an omnous menace. That in case Mexico SHOULD
declare war against the United States he would
take possession Of the Mexican armed vessels, ant
with them blockade the Mexican ports-leavina
his own squadron free for more interesting opera
tons upon the coast.
The "call" for the assembling of Mexican
| Congress had been made. The act was celebrated
as a national holiday, with every demonstration o
joy.
FROM CAMPEAcnY. The Mexican schr. Yucca
teco, arrived at this port yesterday from Campea
chy. whence she sailed on the 9Th inst.
She confirms all the information we have hither
to received IN regard to the declaration of indie
pendence mado by that department.
The Yucatecos were daily expecting to hear tina
the Mexicans had closed their ports against then
in consequence of their declaration.
