ARAN*AS BAY, JULY 28, 1845.—0 n Saturday, the 26th instant, the American flag was first planted in Texas by authority, upon the south end of St. Joseph's Island, upon which I am landing the troops from the Alabama, inside the bay. There are now 500 men encamped here, and the scene is full of interest. The other vessels with troops are not expected to arrive for several days. Dr. D. A. Perry, of Washington county, was murdered recently by a negro, formerly the property of the doctor. The negro was suspected, accused, confessed the deed and has been hung. According to the Civilian, the health of Galveston continued remarkably good. The weather had been dry, and rain was much needed. A semi-weekly mail has been established between Washington and Austin, to continue during the season. Everything on the frontier is quiet. The Georgetown D. C. Advocate has the following paragraph : " Rumours were plentifully rife yesterday, as to the nature of a dispatch said to have been received on the previous evening by the Government, from Texas. From all that we have been able to learn, we suspect that there is growing up in Western Texas, a state of aft'airs as much the more serious than the Florida war, as the field of action and the numbers and powers of the Indian enemy there, are greater than was the case in Florida."  lasgow and Greenock •• .
