Yucatan. By the arrival of the schooner Elien
Perkins, from Sisal, advices have been received from
Yucatan lo the 9lh April. The people of that de-
partment seem to look upon Mexico as a foreign
country, and are re-modeling their government so
as to secure their independence. The utmost har
mony and quiet prevails in the province.
Patriotism. The New Orleans papers mention
several instances of patriotic liberality displayed by
citizens of that place, that would have done credit to
the days of "7C." When the' news was first cir-
culated that the army of Gen. Taylor was surroun-
ded !y the Mexican tioops, Mr. Benjamin Story of-
fered to loan 500,000 for, the use of the State, to
furnish the volunteers ivfth clothes, ammunition,
provisions, fcc. The Courier records another in-
stance of liberality, as follows:
"A gentleman named Adde, who served with hon
or during three years of the Florida war, is raising
a company of volunteers to join Gen. Taylor. He
went to the store of Messrs. Layton, Hardware Mer-
chants on the Levee, for the purpose of purchasing
a flag; Mr. Layton answered that his flags were all
disposed of but directed one of his clerks to go to a
jjgighboring store and buy one and said to Capt.
'I present this flag to your company as my
Ww. r il- j-c. r u n tw
rTi cacfillH iui Hie ueicnuc ui. iiic jluuiju y, uii.
Layton also told the captain that when the company
was complete, he would furnish, each man gratis
with a plate, knife, fork, spoon, and other accoutre-
ments of the same kind and also said he "if you
should want a few hundred dollars to purchase oth-
er conveniencies for your men, apply to me and you
shall have the amount." -
" The late severe rains have seriously injured.the
crops in nearly all the counties east of the Trinity.
In many sections, the cotton crop has been almost
entirely destroyed.
STATE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.
" Tuesday, May; 12th, 1846.
Mr. McKmney offered the following resolution:
Resolved, by the Senate of the State of Texas,
That they respectfully recommend to the favorable
consideration of the United States government the
officers of the late -Texas Navy who have gallantly
defended the interest and flag of the Republic on the
Gulf of Mexico, and request that they may be re-
tained and provided form the naval service thereoC
Which "was-unaniraously adopted.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, May 13, 1846.
Mr. Gray offered the following resolution:
Resolved, by the House of Representatives of the
J3tate of Texas, That they recommend to the favor-
able consideration of the Government of the United
States, those officers of the late Texas navy who so
gallantly defended the interests and flag of the Re-
public on the Gulf of Mexico in the year 1843, and
request that tfTey may be retained and provided for
In the" naval service thereof.
Which wa3 unanimously adopted.
By the arrival of the brig Josephine at New
Cleans, ad vices have been received from Vera Cruz
ro"fhV36th ult. jThe news is unimportant. - The

the American fleet. The Dinrio del Gobierno, con-
tamsa letter of Gen. Canales, dated April 5th, ad-
dressed to Ampudia, in which with his accustomed
vanithe boasts of his plans to destroy the army of
GeriTaylor. He slates that he has redoubled his
efforts to attack the enemy morally and "the .cow-
ardly scoundrel mentions that he lias induced 35
Americans to desert. While the Americau army was
encamped at Corpus Christi, Canales through his
secretary Carabajal, applied lo Gen, Taylor to ob-
tain 1200 stand of arms for the Rancheros, whom
lie said, intended to raise the standard of Federalism,
olid would fight with the Americans, against the
troops of Paredes. Gen. Taylor expressed a will-
ingness to furnish the arms, if he had them in camp:
bat-as he had none except those that his troops je-
quired, he" was unable to comply with the request of
Canales. If Canales had succeeded, in duping Gen.
Taylor, hewould doubtless, have styled this feat a
mtvaZ-victory; Canales in his letter says;
" 1 have inspired such terror in the foe that they
know not what to do, convinced as they are that
they cannot leave theircamp without heavy loss, and
exposing themselves to defeat. ,
"These few lines will enable you to appreciate
the advantages of a prompt arrival, before Taylor
has time tr receive reinforcemenJs, and be enabled
to make a vigorous resistance. The triumph is cer-
tain to-day to-morrow it mustle disputed.

Another letter from Mejfa declares -"that General

By the arrival of the steamship New York at
Jalvestonj-onnhc-18th insr., Tidvicey have been" re-
ceived from New Orleans to the 12th, and fromthe
Brasos Santiago, to the 16th inst. inclusive.
The Mexicans since their defeat on the Slh inst.,
have all reciossed the Rio Grande, and .appear to
he awaiiing an attack from the American forces.
On the night of the 15th inst., a detachment of one
thousand American troops consisting of volunteers
and regulars, a-ossed the ri-vcrfor the purpose of
capturing Matamoros. They were lo be accompa-
nied by 500 marines in boats, and the steamer Vesta
-was'to aid in transporting the army of -Gen. Taylor
across the Ria5rande. The New York carried
380'volunrcers to the Brassos St. Jago. The army
under Gen. Taylor, it is reported, now consists of
ahdhi 5,000 men, and several thousand volunteers
areexp ected from New .Orleans in a few days.
Star of the 2Ut.
News has just been received from the treaty
ground lhat a large body of the Commanches hav,e
come in, atid are anxious to conclude a treaty with
our.Commissioners, The main body of the tribe
however, is on the Canadian Fork of the Arkansas,
and will not come-down to attend a council until Ju-
ly or August The Democrat has received infor-
mation from Gapt. Rice who.Ieftthecouncil ground
on the -5th inst., .that
-Col. Leonard H. Williams, with a party of , ten
others was despatched to 'Payajjuca'SfCamp .on the
False Washita1: on the 29th April, he sentaunner
'-"T r TTf n -rTTi him of havinc u
Parker, and a yellow girl in the Comanche .camp
The former was acquainted with Col. Williams in
the early and happy days of her existence, during
his stay she continued to'weep incessantly. Twelve
mules, and two mule loads of merchandize were
offered for her; but refused by the Indians, who
say they will die rather than give her up. No sit-
uation can be depicted to our minds replete with
half the horrors of that unfortunate young lady's.
Our Government should claim her with a strong
hand, the sword should be made to avenge and to
liberate. It is useless to talk of treating with those
barbarians, until they are first humbled by chas-
tisement. The appearance of Col. Williams created conside-
jable excitement among the Comanches. The young
warriors laid a plan to murder him and his men,
which was overheard by a Mexican boy, (one of the
many prisoners of that nation among the Indians.)
whogave timely notice to Col. Williams, and he
immediately claimed the protection of Payayuca. this
chief with difficulty succeeded in pacifying and re
straining his men.
Buffalo riump. acknowledges that his party killed
several Germans near San Antonio, (we suppose at
Castroville,) he is consequently, afraid lo trust him-
self among the "pale faces," and refuses to come in.
Jack Harry, a Delaware, purchasod a German boy
about nine or ten years of age, from his band.
They have two American ladsprisoners, which
they refuse to bring in, or sell ; one is -about 11 or
12j the other 16 or 17 years of age.
There are about 300 Indians at the Council
ground, representing the Cherokees, Shawnees, Del-
awares, Ionies, Anadacoes. Kickapoos, Toukahuas,
Lipans, Keechies and Wacoes.
Payayuca, with an Amparico chief was looked for
on the day of Capt. Rice's departure, (MaySTd.)
Mopecochupec, with a small party, is also expected
in.
The Comnnches, Amparicoes and Kiowas,, say
they once met the Americans at the Wichitaw moun-
tain, and are willing to meet them there again, when
the "Buffaloes bellow," which is in July. The vil-
lage of the Wacoes and Wichitaws, situated in the
Wichitaw mountains, has been burnt by the Paw-nee-Mohaws.
The. residue of the two first tribes
lire near Warren'; trading house on Red River, and
promise, iF the Americans will sutler them, to re-
main there, never to molest the whites again in any
way.
The Indians styled in the above arlicle Ampari-
coes, are doubtless the Arapahoes, who with the
Kioways, range near the sources of the Arkansas.
They have often molested the traders of Missouri
on the old Santa Fe route by Bents' Fort; but we
helieve they have never extended their depredations
so far down as ihe settlements of Texas lying with-
n 300 miles of the coast.
- We have been requested to mention that' the
steamships New York and Galveston, will continue
to touch at Galveston, and transport freight and pas-
sengers from that city to New Orleans, as hereto-
fore. By the arrival of the schooner L. M. Ilitchcock,
at Galveston, advices have been received from the
Brasos Santiago three days later than those brought
by the New York. The news is of little importance.
A portion of our troops have captured the small
village. -ofBarita, situated oil an islanrLop
posite the west end of Padre Island, and east
of the Rio Grande. The main road from the har-
bor of Brasos Santiago to Matamoros passes through
this village. The Mexicans appear to have suspen-
ded all military operations, and their conduct indi-
cates that they are completely discouraged by the
late reverses. Slar of 23d inst.
News from Europe. The advices brought by
the Cambria from Liverpool, are to the 10th ult. The
news is decidedly of a more pacific character than
any that has been receiyed for several months pre-
vious. The English journals speak of the advices
receivedfrom America by the Hibernia, as being
far more pacific than they expected; and they ex
press a full confidence that the apprehensions of
war are in a great measure dissipated. The atten-
tion of the English people is engrossed by their own
affairs. The excitement upon the corn laws is in-
tense, and the Irish coercion bill has created so much
popular disapprobation against Sir Robert Peel, that
it is generally believed he will -again be compelled
to resign. The opposition to his measures "was ex-
pected, to he mainly directed by Lord Stanley.
The advance of JL-8d. per lb. in the price of cot-
ton, is owing to thrreport carried out by the Hiber-
nia, that the crops this year would be less than an
average. Business in England was generally dull.
Indian corn is now used to a great extent in Great
Britain and Ireland. The Irish people speak in
hfgh terms of this new article of food, and they say
that they can perform much more labor when fed
on corn meal, than on the watery food, potatoes.
The distress in many districts in Ireland is so great,
that many mobs hare been raised, and several store
houses filled with provisions have been broken open
by the famishing people.
Another attempt has been made to assassinate
Louis Philippe. As he was riding through the for-
est of Fontanbleu, a man named Laconte fired a
gun at him and several balls struck the carriage,
but none reached the king. The man was imme-
diai3ly arrested.
Another severe battle has been fought in Algiers,
near Tlemcen, between a division of the French ar-
ihy under Gen. Cavignac and a tribe of Arabs num-
bering 2000 warriors. The Arabs were defeated
with the loss of 200 men. The French lost a Chief
du battallion and several other valuable officers.
Spaik. The popular excitement against Nava-
ez had increased to .such an extent at the last ac
counts, that he was compelled to resign his office,
and to flee from the country.
Italy. The commander-in-chief of the Aus-
tria forces in Italy, has been compelled to write to
his government for rekiforcemente, owing to the
alarming symptoms that another revolution is about
to break out.
Poland. The revolution in Poland seems for
the present to be entirely quelled. Three armies,
Russian, Austrian, and Prussian, rushed with so
much precipitation upon the PgImJi army at Cra-
cow, that it was dispersed in a ' few weeke. Tho
leaders of the revolution, Weseznivoki and Dembos
ki, were captured, and they will probably soon be
ted or sent (o the deserts of Siberia.

(I think) of New Jersey, from there he removed to Indiana, lrum
whence he came to Texas about the month of January, 1840.
Mr. Thickstun was a youn? man of sterling worth ; he was be-
loved by all who knew him ; he was one of the unhappy Santa Fe
prisoners, when perhaps he contracted the disease which resulted
unfortunately in nis death. The relatives of the deceased it is be-
lieved reside in New Albany, Indiana, but wherever they may be,
they may rest assured that the deceased had every attention neces-
sary bestowed upon him during his protracted illness. His untime-
ly death is regretted by his numerous friends, which he had won
for himsilf bince his residence here. It remains only for me to add,
that although he died in the bloom of youth, and although he was
not a professing christian in his earlier days, yet he died in hope of
u blessed immortality beyond the grave.
