II kin Ub’ARTKKs, Victoria, ) 17th June, 1630. S 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/. in n few da vs. Crren took up the line of march from Mntaniora* for Lx Bahia, about 4 ('ay* ago. They have all sworn to exterminate the Texians, or never to re turn to Mexico. My force does not exceed three hundred and fifty men.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
