From tin Charlotte* Courier, oj October 31.
Arrival of the Great Western.
Tho .steam ship Great YYeslcrn, Cupt. Ma-
th.ws, arrived at New Yoik, on Saturday e
zoning last, from Liverpool. By her we have
received Willmer & Smith’s European Tines
of lira l-'h inst. from which, and from tli
V' tc York Herald, wo complete the Foreign
Intrllqpmee which will be found in this morn
mg’s Courier.
The following are extracts from commercial
lcttuis received in this city:
1 . ‘‘LivunrooL, Oct. 3.—‘Out 1 Cotton market
has undergone no decided change since the tie
parture of the last steamer, 19th ult. At times
there Ins been some increase of demand, but
it has always been 'oo freely supplied to ad
mitof any improvement in prices, and the mar
ket has become more heavy and languid since
tlic itrrir.tl of the Boston steamer of the 16th
alt. so tb»t we can only repeat our last quota

say for Upland 3J a 5.^, fair 4j; Orleans 3J a
6$, fair lg J Mobile a OJ, fair If, and Al
abarna and Tennessee 3 a 4§per lb. Trade
at Manchester Mill continues satisfactory and
encouraging, but this does not induce the
spinners to in create their s'oeks of Colton;
o« tho contrary they seem to be more and more
( unfit med in the course of buying, only for the
supply of their current wants by the continued
favorable reports of the coming American
crops.and the further full in prices utthe Amer
ican ports «t the date of the last advices. The
•ales for tire week ended 50lh ult. were 21,100
ImIro. Of tho latter 5050 were Uplaud at 3§
a 44; 9140 Orleans nt 3J a 5$; 6490 Mobile
and Alabama at 3J n 5, and 130 Sea Island at
13 a 18d per lb. The business for live days
to this evening is estimated at about 19, bales,
all to consumers, and the stock now in ill's
p n t is about S99.000 bales, of which 673,000
is American.
Liverpool, Oct. 11.—Since the date of
tlm above circular, we have had a moderate
demand for Cotton and the market has appear
ed rather more steady and less languid than
before, but there is no change in prides. The
sales for the week ending this evening amount
to 26,540 bides, of which 6150 is Upland at
3^ n 4 9690 Orleans at 3 a 64, with 60 at
2§; 6590 Alabama and Mobile at 3£ a 5, and
100 Sea Islands at 12J a 16jd. per lb. About
3200 b des of it were taken by speculators, and
1200 for export, shewing that the Spinner?
continue to buy on a limited scale though they
have s'ill an active trade both in manufacturer!
goods and yarn*.”
“Liverpool, Oct. 11.—There has been a
l-ir Ini'incss during this week, and the quota
tions of lust week are fully supported, at the
same time there is a plentiful assortment offer-
iuz at these prices. Speculators have taken
3000 bales American, and 200 Surat. The
sales to-day are 4000 bales to tho trade.”
“Havre, Oct. 9.—On Monday and Tues
day the sales of Cotton amouutcd to 3000 bales;
this morning 700 bales were sold at a new de
cline of 2 to 3 centimes, among which some
low Upland, at 45 centimes. Our stock is re-
ddiced to 80,000 bales, of which one half is
presoed upon the market, overy body being

"Havre,Oct.7.—Colton-—Business remains
in about the same situation as noticed in our
previous repart, no new circumstances have
arisen to produce any material change either
favorable or otherwise, though there is perhaps
less anxiety manifested by holders to run off
their stock, and the quantity of Cotton offered
has been very limited. The advices from the
United States received by the English steam
ers Great YVestern und Hibernia, exhibit no
thing of a novel character, and are far from
conclusive as to the extent of the coming crop,
there however, seems little to be apprehended
vet from heavy sh pments, which will in somo
m asure account for the little eagerness on the
port or importers to press forward their stock,
and the fear of creating a further depreciation
may also be assigned as a motive for their hav
ing off-red sparingly. The transactions du
ring tho past week have therefore been trifling,
and buyers bavmg but little choice in the quan
tity on sale, and being unwilling to pay higher
rales, have refrained from operating beyond the
strictest wants for the trade, the sales hare con
sequently been inconsiderable, but prices have
nevertheless undergone no npparent alteration.
The following were the sales effected, viz
2211 bales New Orleans, 49 a 84f.; 937 bales

The Battle Gronndi of Texas.
The invasion of Texas, by Mexico in 1836,
which ended in tho defeat and capture of Ssn'a
Anna at San Jacinto, was not the first struggle
between contending armies in that country.—
In the year 1813, Mexico being then under the
domin on of Spain, a large number of Mexi
cans in the northern provinces undertook to
throw ofl’the Spanish yoke, and were assisted
by a powerful force of volunteers chiefly from
the United States, and most of them the rene
gade remnants of the famous "Burr Conspira
cy/’ These adventurers, under Col. Kemper,
encountered the Spaniards and loyal Mexicans
on the 9th of February, in open field, not far
distant Itotn Bexar, and defeated them with
considerable slaughter.
Immediately subsequent to that action, ano
ther ensued on the 29th March, between the
Anglo-Americans and the Spanish force under
Salcado amounting to 1200 men, with six pie
ces of artillery. Notwithstanding their nume
rical superiority, and advantage of position,
the issue was for the Spaniards disastrous. A
select corps of riflemen, under one Lockett,
shot down the Spanish artillerists and seized
tho cannons; whde Kemper on the right, and
Ross on the left, soon routed the enemy’s wings.
Four hundred Spaniards were killed, and a
much greater number were wounded and ta
ken prisoners.
The Anglo-Americans, soon afier the action
last mentioned, succeeded in regaining Bexar,
but on lh< 16th of June following, a fresh Span
ish or royalist Spanish force of 4,500, under
Elisondo, appeared before the town, which
he summoned to surrender. The demand was
met by a contemptuous answer. An attack
upon the Royalist Mexicans immediately fol
lowed, when the combined American and Mex
ican troops compelled Elisondo and his army
to fly,with the loss of all his stores, after sus
taining a serious loss of life.
But this victory, although it animated the
hopes of tho assailants, reused the vengeance
of the Spanish authorises ; end the month of
August. 1813, beheld the approach of a fresh
army from Mexico, under the command of

companies. The flight of the former disorgan
ized the latter; yet they flinched not from the
contest, but fought with a desperation propor
tioned to the emergency of the occasion. So
gallantly did they acquit themselves, that the
Spanish cavalry was broken, and Aredondo
commenced preparations for a retreat.
At this critical moment, Colonel Musquiez,
a traitor from the Mexican ranks, rode over
to the Royalists and informed them that the
Anglo Americans were beaten, and that, fail

of his freshest companies, made a furious rush
upon tho Anglo-Americans, who were com

—their amunitiun spent—wearied with the
struggle—and parched with a burning sun
their defeat became certain. The work of
slaughter commenced; and most of those who
escaped from the battlo field were slain or cap

ant Mexicans, who bad deserted their own flag
in the hour of peril, sustained but little loss ;
tvliile some Cositalta Indians, who were in the

Joseph C. Neal Esq. long and favorably

of labor. Of his new enterprise, we copy with
pleasure the following notice from the Intelli

h a National Bank Neceisary!
In 1824 we had a national Bank in full

ence upon the country nt larco? Did it pro
mote the welfare *f individuals, or regulate and
control the exchanges or the currency; or in
fact perform any useful office whatever ? Let
Henry Clay answer:
**ln casting our eyes around us, the most
prominent circumstances which fixes our at
tention and challenges our deepest regret, is the
general distress which pervades the whole
country. It is forced upon us by numerous
facts of the most incontestible character. It is
indicated by the diminished exports of native
produce ; by the reduced and depressed state
of our foreign navigation ; by our diminished
commerce ; by successive untlireshcd crops of
grain, perishing in our barns and barn yards,
for want of a market; by the alarming dimin
ution of .‘he circulating medium; by the num
erous bankruptcies, not limited to the trading
classes, but ex'Smbng to all orders of society ;
by nn universal cd.mplainl of the wont of em
ployment and a consequent reduction in the
wages of labor! byn ravenous pursuit after
public situations, not for the sake of their hon
ors, and the performance of their duties, but as
a means of private subsistence ; by the reluct
ant retort to the perilous use of PAPER money;
by the intervention of the legislation in the del
icate situation of debtor and creditor; and a-
hove all, by the how and depressed state of the

The following extract of a letter from one

ants of Georgia, now at tbe North, will repay
our readers fur an attentive perusal. It was
directed to a friend in Houston county.

“His mind reposes nn Us proper wisdom,
And wants no other praise.”
My business is with you sir, as you are, and
as you would like to be. But, your allusion to
Mr. Strong, calls (or a word, as we pass along.
Occupying the position that he now does, he
may be unwiMiog to notice it, and indeed there
is very little remarkable about it, except its
rude and ungen'h m mly phraseology. Yet I
cannot omit tho orcas : on, to say, that if he is
an individual ho 1 as shown a better claim to
the till*; titan bis former associate*, whoso in
dividuality has lieen merged in party servility,
at the bidding of a leader, whom, six years ago
they affected fo dispisc. If ho is an individual
let me tell you sir, he holds individual opinions,
and maintains them with the independence of
a freeman, and a right understanding of them,
which many a would-be politician, might well
part wi;h his cotton crop to possess.
You set out by saying, that rumors have
been circulated, that you had changed, and tak
en the stump for Polk and Ddlas. These
rumors, you say were circulated in Monroe
and Baldwin. If so, it is strange that they did
not find their way to Houston, or B*bb or some
where in your own district, where such an im
portant announcem- nt was likely to have most
effect. Rumors of this sort ‘fly on the wings
of tho wind,” but perhaps ihis rode on a gen*
tl« ‘‘Zephyr,” and moved so sluggishly that it
would not have reached us untiffafter the next
fall elections, had you not faun d it into fury ;
if so, I admire the plan, though I can’t say as
much for its object.
You have not informed us whether it reach
ed Texas or not, before tbe Presidential elec
tion there, but I suppose it did, us that Repub
lic, if I am correctly informed, was once hono
red with u visit from you, but has ever to re-
gret, that the prevalence of the Catholic religion
there, prevented the emigration of so distingu
ished a man to its shores. Doubtless your
opinions have caused Gen. Burleson’s defeat.
In jour next, will you be kind enough to say
whether the liberation of O'Connell was retard
ed by it? Or whether Louis Philippe’s con
templated virit to England was deferred on this
account ? As both of these personages are
Catholics, I suspect some connexion between
tho rumor and their private griefs, and should
like the cit Z'-ns of Hou-ton and Macon, to
know the dread truth al once. Consider sir, the
importance of these questions, and inform us
before we put up a candidate for Senator in our
district' If all these and more untold, are the
consequences of your position on the political
arena, I for one, think it useless, to spread
By tins calculation, if Clay los's a s'ngle
State, except Rhode I-land or Delaware, he
will be beaten. Virginia, the State that never
voted for a Federal President, and never will,
is put down for Clay, and that leaves him
twelve less than is requisite to elect him.
In the list there are several other States cer-
tain for i’nlk, Georgia and Louisiana among
the number—whilst he has an equal chance for
Ohio, North Carolina, and Indiana.

ftnr goes the light ?
Major Noah, a leading Whig editor of the
New York Sunday Times, (a neutral papcT,)
says:
“We read J00 papers daily and cannot be
mistaken in public opinion, when we say that
Poik and Dallas nrc running ahead with tho
rapidity oflighining, and yet we can get bets
If the people cannot detect their treachery
with the facts before their eyes—when they
see Mr. Berrien hand in hand with Webster,
Adams, and Granger. Wh-*n they see all the
Whigs ofthe South advocating and support,
ing Northern measures and voting with their
enemies, and when they have the testimony of
such men as Chappell, Troup, Colquitt, Coop
er and others—they are willing to be betrayed,
and deserve their fate, be it what it may.
It is my opinion if Clay is elected, the veto
of the President will be abolished; the 200
millions of Stale debt be assumed—the Tariff
be riveied on the country, and the South kept
in slavery or driven to rebellion, and in the
latter case whipped into subjection.
The State of Maryland owes fifteen millions
spent principally to promote the interests of
Baltimore, and the Sou'h will bn made to pay
this debt by a system of taxation admitted to
be unequal—though she never did nor never
will derive one cent of advan'age from it.
Pennsylvania owes 42 millions spent to btt'ld
up Phiiade'plrin to enable her to compete with
New York and Baltimore, and must be paid
upon the same principle and no benefit. And
the leaders are notri electioneering with the peo
ple of these two States on these very tt rounds,
Besides, sir, remember that each election con
test as now conducted, buj tends to corrupt
and degrade the elective franchise; you as an
amateur patriot, should prevent these contests
whenjpm have, as I fear you now have, the
power to do so. It is thought by some that
you, who ran to Texas to get clear of tne Mon-
roe Rail Road, and ran back to get clear of
Popery, nowthatyou have entered the tu r ffor
another race, can outrun any of the common
men we could start, and have only to he well
known in the two counties, to walkover the
track at the next frill races. But do not cheat
yourself into the belief that because we may
pay the forfeit, that we are going to become
your backers. We know you too well, and
let me assure you, you are known too well
ever to be backed by ull your own political as
sociates. Still, I have no doubt that if you con
firm our fears either by public announcement
or haughty silence (tlv>u»h l have no right to
speak for the whole Republican party)you cun
become the Senator of Macon nod Houston with
ease to yourseli'and advantage to your purse,
which last with you is some inducement. But
on the other ' and let me assure you just as
confidently, that ifthe people of Houston and
Macon should learn that you are not the Mag-
nate you would have them hclisvt, they have a
candidate who*® should“rs well bear a
Senatorial robe. As faras religious sentiments
