Highly Important From New Mexico

Adyices to the St. Louis Republican from New
Mexico, state that there is great excitement grow
ing ont Of the attempt OF Texas to assume author
ity over the territory. The people are decidedly
opposed to these pre'ensions, and they are ex-
ceedingly solcitous for the immediate action Of
congress on this question. There can be no doubt
that the people desire the establishment Of terri
torial government, and this as speedily as possible
Neither the formation Of a state government, nor
the continuance Of the present half civil half mil.
itary government, will satisfy them and still less
will they be disposed to submit to any act which
shall transfer them, in any shape, to Texas. Such
a union can be productive Of no good and will be
resisted
A despatch to the St, Louis papers, dated New
Orleans 18th, says
The Texan Civilian of the 18th, contains pro.
clamation by Col. Munroe, directing an election
for delegates TO the convention, to form n state
government for New Mexico, the convention to
be held ut Santa Fe, on the 18th Of May. Mai
Ncighbors has returned to Austin, after an nef.
fectual attempt to organize the county OF Santa
Fe, in consequence of the opposition from the mil
tary authorities stationed there"
The n York Tribune of the 2?i inst, has the
following:
Late last evening we received tho following
from m anonymous correspondent at Washington

The governor of Texas will at once order out
$500 rangers TO march upon Santa Fe.
