MtLi tart strength: -of the West. A gentle-
man who has recently arrived from Gonzales, states that
the forces now under arms "west of the Brazos, cannot be
less than 6000 men. He thinks there are about 3500 on
the uppe.r route towards Bexar, and between two and
threelhousand on the lower roure towards Goliad. All
these forces are from the counties west of the Brazos,;
with the exception of about 900 from Harris, Montgom-
ery, and theadioininsr counties? If Santa Anna, therefore;
.should have even 20,000 men on the march from the JJiff
Grande, these jbrces would be sufficient to prevenrthem
from ever crossine the Colorado. If the militiapir tfie
eastern and middle counties could be mustered with-th'ese
the united forces would be sufficient to match thejar-gest
army, that Mexico has" collected since the Conquest of

1 Anti-Quaker. This is the title of the first and last
number of a rrew paper published at Austin on the 12th
inst. It seems to bea new edition ofthe Alarm Bell. Its
editors Tecpmmend that President Tyler "recall Mr. Ellis,
U. SrMmtster-lo .Mexico and honor'him with the appoint-
ment of dry nurse to his children." Wethink. the station
too responsible as the" President's children are outofbeir
leading strings Jn regard ttf the Mexican troops that
plundered Bexar, the. Anti-Quaker says they are no doubt
well satisfied that they met with nothing worse than rier-
ckanaize. 'v,. -
r rnregVra To the U.S. Government it says-: "Wake
up, thou Quaker Government, and no longer suffefthyself
to be spit upoji no longer make a burlesque of repub
licanism, lhec have too strictly tol lowed the scriptures
In turning thy left cherlc when thee have been slapped on
thy right one; no longer suffer thyselfto be insulted no
longer be a" football for every one that may chbosetogive
thee a kick, or 'else thy 'people abroad,, will be compelled
to repudiate thee, andilisoWn the land'of their nativity."
