To Gen. ThoM. J. Green;
Sir—Mv spies have just brought information from
and 10th inst. j
(joftist* "t letters from Cnpts. Carnes, and Teal, i
and ft®*.' Miller, who were arrested uffor having j
received passports from Gen. Felisola. The infor* j
imition is of the must important character, it details
the fact that General Felisola was ordered to turn
back with hi* troops, about halfway between Mata*
morn* and San Patricio. I'rrcu had been apnoint*
ed Commander in Chief, and hnd arrived in Mata*
morns, on his march to Texas with 4000 wf to Irony*.
Four thousand more were to embark at Vera G’ru/.

W« have however attlie ..me time rc.|.ect.-.l the U ' Hrtl ' v ' ,h eotnmaml, to join
entire non-interference of our Government in th
difficulties, and did indulge the hope that until n full
recognition of the independence of Texas by the
constituted authorities should he made, that the Go
vernment would Htiidiously avoid any participation
in the matter. Much however as wo were and are
enlisted in behalf of Texas, and hail with pleasure
every encouraging symptom of her triumphant suc
re** over her foes, still we cannot but advocate the
observance of a rigid neutrality by our Government
towards both contending parties. We arc rigid, and
none more so than.our Federal Executive, in exact
ing from foreign power* n proper regard for all our
national rights, and for us to demand from others
what we refuse to allow, bespeaks a national sollidi-
ness, and a want of that correct national feeling |
without which no power can live honored and res
orted.
If General Gainr* has passed the Sabine, and
with troop* under hi* command entered upon the
Mexican territory, he has acted under virtue of or
der* from the Executive. These order* could or
shoiihl never have issued unless required hy impe
rious necessity, and justified by the tenor of solemn
treaties existing betw een our government and Mexi
co. It is said flint a stipulation in the treaty be
tween the two countries, does justify an entry upon
their respective territories, in case the incursions or
any hostile signs of the Indian tiihes residing on the
borders of Texas should be made
immediately.
You will immediately soothe necessity of join
ing me with all the force you can raise; you had
best march hy way of Casey’s, on the Colorada, it
would be well to detail nil the cavalry you can in ad
vance, as they are the most important troops for im
mediate service.
I have directed nil supplies. &©. to Cox's Point on
the opposite side of the Un fluent.
I have the honor to he with great respect, your
obedient servant.

Jult 18.—By flic ac.hr. Julius Coisnr, which arriv
ed yesterday from Texas, we have information that
renders it very doubtful whether the Mexiran army
will really prosecute further operations for the pre
sent at least against Texas.
From Texian spies sent for the purpose of rerun-
nattering the enemy, it i* ascertained that the Mexi
can army ha* not advanced, aud that its numbers are
continually diminishing hy desertion.
Thu Texian* are in “fine spirits," and have no
lack nf arms, ammunition nml provisions, and with
force sufficient to repulse the invudcrs with great
•laughter. Santa Anna had solicited hy letter the
amicable interposition of Gen. Jackson, ami had
conveyed to the Mexican Government his opinion,
that the conquest of Texas was impossible, and that
the independence of Texas should he recognised.
The schr. Brutus, Capt. Hurd, was at Matagorda,
blockaded by the Mexican brig of war VenceJor did
Alamo, hut would soon he relieved hy the schr. In
vincible, Union, and oilier vessels, that had proceed
ed there in tow of the steam boat Ocean, for the pur-
1 »ose o|jbcnpturing the brig. The sienm boat was
adened with volunteers, and fur her protection there
w«* raised a breastwork of eniton bales.
The Mexican brig will iu all probability fall a
cant lire to the Tux inns.
It seems that the Vencedor had been despatched
.from Vera Cruz, in order to protect the schooners
Cumaachee. Fanny Butler aud Watchman, which
were stored with provision* lor the Mexicans. Find
ing that the Texians had already intercepted the
said vessels, and appropriated their cargoes to their
own use, she very wisely proceeded to mkv if possi
ble, what Texian vessels might fall in her wa) . It
may not however prove injudicious step.
From alt the information received, and which we
believe to he *uh.-«ianri»llv correct, we aro firmly of
the opinion that the Mexican* will suspend active
hostilities against the Texians for the summer, and
wa shell not prove very bad prophets if it should not
turn out, thnt theirfroops will he entirely withdrawn
from the limits of Texas, and tin* independence of
this Republic fully secured.—[ Rullelin.

LOST OFFICE ORGANIZATION.
Th© Globe of Wednesday publishes the law pass
ed at the lute session of Congress, entitled “An
Act to change the organization of the Dost Office
Department, and to provide more effectually for the
settlement of the accounts thereof.” A* there are
few laws which hear so frequently, actively and di
rectly upon so large a portion of eiiizens, we give
our readers an ahstrnctof its provision* hy sections.
Section 1st provides that all moneys received hy
the Post Office Department shall he paid, under the
direction of the Postmaster General, into the Trea
sury of the United Stales.
See. 5f. The Postmaster General shall submit to
Congress specific estimates, under separate heads,
of the sums expected to he required for the service
of the Department iu the subsequent year, and shall
at the succeeding session render an account of the
amount actually expended.

also cause to ho promptly certified to the Auditor all

The sums appropriated are in several case* inde

the best data attainable. They © ill amount

June 28th, 1836. )
M$ Dwr Sir—You will see from the within letter
froffi Grn. Rusk, and my call upon the people of
Ttxiu, that we have fallen upon eventful times. I
congratulate th© pcapl© of this much injured and
suffering country, that upon my first landing upon
her soil, I was in time to oucage the lion after he had
been turned upon the common. That I Imve acted
wisely in this let all mankind judge.
On the 5th instant I took Santa Anna out the In
vincible, upon the high sea. On the 9tll the mon
strous fact »* developed 300 miles distant, the re
treating Mexican army was ordered to retrogad©
hall way between Sun Patricio and Mulammu*. Irom postmaster*
excluding the Chickasaw fund and unavailahl
sci*. was on the 27tli June, 1836, hy the Treasurer’s
report, $34,250,464.
7. “The amount of revenue expected to he re
ceived dining the remainder of the year" is $10,-
000,000.
Should the receipts from Inndscontiiiueto he unu
sually large, flii* estimate may he too low ; whereas
if they fall off very much, it will prove too high.
On that subject it is impossible to attain any great
degree of certainty at this time. If any thing is re
ceived from the hank stock of the United Slates be
fore the close of the year, the amount of revenue
may he increased to that extent above the preceding
estimate.
From the above reply to all the inquiries in the
resolution of the Senate; the general results present
ed in a condensed form, are a* follows:
The whole charges on the Treasury for 1836, ns-
ceitained and estimated, are $47,437,078, viz.

pected to recover. The Indians w ere still j„ ^
swatnp, where Capt. J. engaged them,and were
watched by the company, waiting for Gen

lie heard an express had been received at Fort
Mitchell on yesterday, (Thursday,) that three
white men bail been killed the day previous at
or near Fort Henderson, fifteen miles below Fort
Mitchell, nil the Alabama side of the river t| )0
names nut heard, nor the particulars giveu. Tha
marines who were stationed at that fnrt had
been ordered away some time since. The In
dians w ere henrd at work upon their raft, in the
sw amp opposite Fort McCrary, nnd were shoot
ing off their rifles at night—evidently preparing
for another excursion to Florida or llieimpene-
tralilu swamps of Baker, Thomas ami Lowndes
counties; where, if they once get a foothold,
they w ill leave their women ami children, and
carry fire and sword, murder and devastation
through the surrounding country, and sometimes
penetrating to their old homes in Alabama. It
will require a large force constantly engaged to
prevent these fugitive gangs of Indiana from
crossing the river, ami ruining the interveninc
country between Uonmiko nnd Florida. We
fear our army was disbanded too sooc; hut as
fifteen hundred Tennesseans have arrived ami
arc now under the command of Gen. Jessup
that officer, eo-opernting with Gimi. Sanford
they will have ample force between then., as wo
hope nnd believe, to ovcrcomo all the hostile In
dians w l.o remain out.
Much anxiety is fell iu regard to the. friendly
Indian*, in anticipating tl e.ir removal. It is fear
ed that many of them v. id become hostile, when
they find that they id,an see compelled to go.
