[Abridged from the United Service Magazine.) As early as 1628, Narvaez, one of the Lieutensnts of Cortez, traversed the whole of Mexico, and crossing the Rio Grande del Norte, discovered the country now known as Texas. ‘The great Indian nation, the Natchez, then roamed over its hills and prairies, In 1684, La Salle, commissioned by Louis the XTV., to agorda bay and erected a small fort on the Guadalupe river, calling it Saint Louis. In 1687, Alonzo de Leon was sent from Mexico by the Viceroy, te dislodge La Sulle’s French colony. but on bis arrival at fort Seint Louis, found that the French had retreated aud gone to Natchitoches, It was in this expedition that the As! maces, or Adaes Indians were fullen in with, and it said that they called the Spaniards “ Tijas,” which meant friends, in their language; and it is probable that ; the Spaniards called them Tejas, or Texas fata ‘The vice regal government of Mexico now alarmed, and for the protection of its northern fron established the fort of Adaes, afew miles northwest Natchitoches, aud the mission of San Francisco de Texas near to it, and that of San Antonio de Bejar jn | | Weatern Texas. | In 1669, D’!bberville was sent from France as Gover- | nor of Louisiana, and he defined the coast of Louisiana | to be from Mobile bay to that of San Bernardo, now | known aa Matagorda bay, {m Texas.

Florida, which had been taken by the French, was also given up to Spain in 1783. The Spanish governmeut now caused a chain of mili- tary posts to be erected from Sonora, on the Pacific, to the Gulf of Mexico, as well a4 some missions; but this did not prevent fearful risings against them by the In- diaus, in 1778. This brings us to 1789, and it may be said that up to this time, the history of Texas is little else than a dre register of territorial squabbles, caused by the French, barbarous feuds and teats of monk- ish strategy, when Philip Nolan, an Irishman, with some fifty followers from thy United States, entered ‘Texas in search of the“ gold regiou ot the Camanches.”” ‘This was probably the San Saba mining district. Nolan was betrayed and killed in a desperate fight, with the greater number of his party. General Miranda. olombian, who hadserved in the French revolutionary armies, and other {ndividua! a curly a3 1795, perceived that the time was approaching owing to the total derangement of old Span, to separate | from it, In 1796, Aaron Burr conceived a plan for revo- lutionizing and taking possession of the north of Mexico.

(whose real name was Joho Carr) has the reputation of having seduced Burr into the scheme ‘This brings us to 1600, when Nupoleon forced Spain to Louisiana to France, which was done by a secret treaty, but only given up in 1803. by virtue of a Spanish royal decree, dated October 15, 1802, when shortly after- wards Napoleon sold Louisiana to the United Stutes, for eleven mill of dollars. Miranda failed in his attempt to revolutionize Vene- mela, and after a desperate struggle, had to capitulate to his victor, Monteverde, the royatist commander. Mi- whilst in prison.

It may not be out of place to mention here, that Charles 4th had, at the instance of his Queen, ceded to her paramour, Godoy, the Prince of Poace’ the terri- tory of Toxas. The then King of Spain, being an abso- lute monarch, had the right to do this act; and it weuld be somewhat amusing to hear Godoy’s claim to Texas advanced; moreover, on certain occasion, the King of France gave Texas to his fnaucier Crozat! The tirat Mexican revolution commenced in 1810, un- der the patriot priest Hidalgo; who was betrayed and given up to the royalists by Bustamente, one of his own staff, avd shot. Now it was that many Anglo Amert- | owns, and others, who had come to the ald of Hidalgo, became more intimately acquainted with Texas and its rerouroes. Licutenant Majee was sent to rout out and break up a gang of outlaws on the Sabine; this he did, when he left the United States army, and with 300 followers, the rifle- men and hunters of the far west, placed one Bernardo, 8 follower of Hidalgo, at the head of an expedition against the Mexican Bozeliste. They attacked and took Nacogdoches and Goliad; San Antonio surrendered, when, by Bernado’s ord-r, seventeen Spanish officers were exvcuted. At this sunguinary proceeding, many | Americans being disgusted, left Texas, and returned to their homes. Colonel Purry, who was left in command of the remaining Americaus, and about 700 Moxicans, within a few miles of San Antonio, beat General Eli- sondo, who bad 1,500 Royalists under him, causing him a | loss of 400 fn killed and wounded. | 1 1813, an expedition was formed in the United States | under Toledo, which, through treachery, failed, being defeated near the Mediua river, not far from San Anto- uio; here fell most of Burr’s party, tho Nolane, Hunters, &o.,and many Americans were taken as prisoners to the city of Mexico, t this epoch, Auré, a Frenchman, was nominated Go- vernor of ‘Texas by tl can agent, Herrera, who re- sided at New Orleans. Auré had a smail flotilla and se- veral hundred men under his command at Galveston, and Xavier Mina, who had left ungrateful Spain to join Victoria in Mexico, sought the assistance of Aure, but failed to secure his co-operation Auré subsequently transferred his services to the Colombian Government. ‘This brings us to 1417, when Jean Lafitte, commonly called the Pirate of the Gulf, with many of his old Bi tavian followers, took possession of Galveston. It may. be mentioned that Lafitte, about 1806 or 1907, had ra- | ther # piratioal repdezvous at Barataria, not far from the mouth of tho Mississippi, from which he was routed by the Americans in 1814, and outlawed; but just. before this took place, he had been solicited by the British to assist them in their unsuccessful attack on New Orleans He, however, refused to do 0, and moreover, fought against them, for which honest act he was pardoned by President Madison. On June 22d, 1819, General Long, an American, upon his own hook, declared lexus a free and independent re- public ; but failed to carry out tho object of his wishes, and was “accidentally” shot in Mexico.

On the same day Dr. Grant and 49 Texans were massacred at San Patricio, by Gen. Urrea. On the 3d, the Texuns made a furious sortie from the Alamo, doing much mischief to theenemy.

On the day of this sanguinary proceeding, Houston continued his masterly retreat from the Rio Colorado, with 700 or 800 men, It was thought by some that Houston ought to have at- tacked Sesona, who was entrenched on the Colorada; this might easily bave been done and Sesona taken, but Houston foresaw that in such a case Santa Anna, pow somewhat careless and exulting with victory, would have concentrated his torces.

Negotiations with Mexico were commenced on the part of Texas in July, 1841; the result was, the march of Mexican troops into Texas. In March, 1842, General Vasquez, atthe head of a body of troops, entered San Antonio; but after distributing a bombastic proelama- tion from Santa Anna, calling upon the Texans to re- turn to their allegiance, rapidly retreated soross the Rio Grande, In July, General Davis, commanding a body of volun- teers from the United States, had a fight with the Mexicans at Lepanticlan, who were forced to retire from before the unerring rifles of thelr opponents.

On June the Sth, Mr. McDuffle’s resolution in the Senate of the United States, for the annexation of Tex- as, in compliance with the wishes of the eae of the infant Republic, was lost by a vote of 27 to 19, At the end of 1844, the population of ‘Texas was esti- mated at 100,000 whites, 15,000 Indians, and 16,000 ne- groes.
