Entering a room rather unexpectedly, where there were four ladies, each uitered an involuntary ecream, and fi-d tow corner of the room, where they stood with their backs to the wall, motionless with horror. I cou! not divine what it meast; but ultimately one of them fainted, and the others ell ran to her assis- tance, when I found the cause of the catastrophe wasthat none of their frocks were buttened or hooked. Yours, faithfully, Neato. Imrontayt raom Texas.—News from the re- publie to the 5th inst. has been received at New Orleans It is interesting and important :— The new revenue law isthe principalitem. We see no allusion to the resolution for annexing Texas to the United States General Hamilton, who has reached Austin by this time, is said to be bearer of projects for coloniziug the vacant lands of Texas with thousands of emigrants from Europe. The Texian, of the 25th of January, says:—* We are gratified that the late treaty, entered into by General James Hamilton, on the part of this Go- vernment, and Lord Palmerston, on the part of Great Britain, concerning the suppression of the slave trade, has been ratified by our Govern- ment.” A New Orleans paper says:—We have a pr vate letter from Gen. Leslie Combs, assuring us the authenticity of the following, whie! dim the Galveston Guzette of the Ist inst A letter has been received from on board the ship Austin at Sisal, dated January 18th, stating that Commo- dore Moore had gone to Merida, and while there, the Lieutenan' quainted with the fact ofthe re- with the Central Government. Com. Moore might be det: as a prisoner, he seized the Mexican Ministe they were retarn- ing, and determined to detain them as hostages un- til the arrival of the Commodore. He, hew soon afier received a Ictter trom him (C: stating that he would return to the ship i two, and ordering the release of the Com ng whom, on the part of Santa Anna, were Lemos and Anaya, hitherto supposed to be the most honest men among the federalists.” Regard the Texian prisoners, a letter from Fresnillo. ed December 5, received by Colonel Rhodes, United States Consul at Galvesion, says that, at et 9 ee they received very kind treat- ment. A subscription was made of about $400, and a good supply of shoes end blankets bought for them. The writer of the letter gave towards the subscription $50, and the same amonnt to Colonel Cook, for himseif and brother officers Orders had been given by the government thatthey be treated kindly. The prisoners had two days’ rest in Zacatecas, andit was said that $1000 were sub- scribed fortherm there. Young Combs has been liberated. Santa Ana sent for him, and gave him his liberty, quite unex- Serietly to everybody. He was cond ected to the jinister’s adage and placed ander his pro~ tection, by Santa Ana’s orders, and in his own car- riage. The other prisoners are yet in chains, and are all made to work in the streets The following were among the list of resolutions passed atan immense meeting in Houston, on the 28th January last:— Resolved, That this community will promptly co ope rate in any measures adopted by the government in re- ference to our Mexican enemies, whether they shall be offensive or defensive in their character.
