"Two Mexicans lately came into Victoria from the Rio
Grange but they could give little information relative to
Arista's movements. They stated that the rancheros had
been called upon, to muster into service, but for what pur-
pose they did not know. These Mexicans were too illi-
terate to communicate much information. i
Judge Mills. The report that this gentleman was
killed in Panola county is unfounded. A gentleman who
has lately arrived from that section, states that-Judge Mills
.was holding couflT when b& left, and thatthe notorious
Rose was in custody awaiting histrial, under the charge
of murder: It was thought that Rose would certainly be
convicted. ' .
Yucatan. The report received a few days since,
from New Orleans, that the Government of Yucatan
had notified Com. Moore, that the aid of the T.exian navy
would be no longer required, is contradicted by the
officers that have just arijveds-from the Mexican coast
They state that the Government of. Yucatan, and its citi
zens, continue remarkably friendly, and have promptty
met their engagements. Our officers and men are re-
ceived at all their ports with perfect confidence, and treat-
ed with the most marked attention. The mass of the '
people are .determined to maintain their independence,
and hold Santa Anna in the greatest abhorrence. He is
becoming unpopular throughout Mexico, and is general- m
Jy regarded as a tyrant Even many of his own officers
are secretly opposed to him, and long for ah Opportunity
to overthrow his .power. It is currently reported that
Arista instead of preparing to invade Texas, is secretly
plotting the downfal of Santa Anna.

We publish to-day the address of Gen. Burleson to the
people ofTexas, relative to the late movements at Bexar.
Jt contains some interesting facts in regard to the disaffec-'
uon in the armv. We have perusedit withsincere regret:
for itconveys the mortifying intelligence that the soldie"rs.
of our country are bnt too.' willing to indulge in private
animosity and bickerings, when'they should be found
joining hand and heart, to defend their country from insult
andvoutrage. When the army of Greece had assembled
toiepel the invading hosts of the Persian Monarch, a
similar disaffection rendered it powerless. Ten Generals"
were entrusted 'with its command, and each, in.turn', was
entitled to command for oneday. One of these Generals
the magnanimous Aristides, nobly preferring the interests
of his country to tbevain desire of commanding the army,
resigned his authority to.Miltiades, whose approved valor
'and experience he.considered superior to his own. The
other Generals overpowered by such illustrious generosir
ty, cheerfully resigned their claims, and'Miltiades left to
control and direct the army by his single will, gained the
decisive battle of Marathon. Would that similar magna?"
nimitv and patriotism mierhtinspife our soldiers.! When-
bur Generals and officers of lower grade, shall be willing
to cast aside the paltry bauble of office, and are actuated..
with a .generous desire to .advance the interests of their
country even though adverse to their own; then indeed
will our army, become invincible andvictory shall attend
our conquering standard.
Corpus Christi. :It is reported that between three
and five hundred volunteers, including those lately arrived
from'the United States, will ina few days be concentrated
at Corpus Christi. Whether these volunteers have been
directed to this point by the orders of.the Executive, or
those of the Commutes of Vigilance of Galveston we do
not know, butift as is rumored, the President will not
authorize a campaign to be made trflbe Rio Giande until
August, thesetroops-we fearwill become discouraged with
delay and the privations-that they will be"'compelled to
endure where almost the only food they can obtain consists
of beef, fish and salt. It appears to us that if tfise troops
were joined by the forces' now on the San Antonio, they
could make a successful descent upon Matamoros or at
least upon Cdmargo, and if either of these places should'
be captured, it would furnish a secure rally ing-ppint for
the forces that are on their way from the United States.7
It is said there are more" than 300,000 head .of .cattle pas-
tured between Qomargo und Matamoros, and on'this side
of the Rio Grande. They have hitherto been protected by
Col. Vilareal with only 70 or-80 Mexican cavalry.- Thes
would fall an easy prey to our soldiers, and as caUle are
worths least 83 a head, these if captured, and driven east
of the San Antonio, would be a clear-gain to the-national
wealth' of 8900,000. - The capture of these might 'be stig
matised as "cow stealing" but it should be recollected that
war is but a species of robbery, and he who is tho most
successful in stealing away the resources of his opponent
gains the vantage ground. .
We are indebted taa friend for the following transla-
tion of an article published in the " Nineteenth tCcn-
tury" of Merida:
The national compapt dissolved, it no longer exists,
and its reo-enerator is in the most difficult and, embarrass
ing nlWht. General faredes is the most powerful antago-
jfiHd.nitt nf Santa Anna: Santa Anna has lost the election in
mii'L. . ra :
the Department of Mexico, Guanajuato, San Luis, Aguas-
caiientes, Sono.-a, VaHadoltd and Jalisco; these States
with the exception ofthe first, all act in concert with Gen.
Paredes, who commands the forces in the last mentioned
State, in that of Mexico D. Juan J. Andraae is in com-
mand, and 'the Generals Guitierror, Galindo, Juvera, and
another not Recollected command in the rest
ParedcfiVinfavor of the re-establishment of the Feder-
al institutions, to which Santa Anna is opposed; his parly
is augmented in numbers by the partisans of Bustamente
and the clergy, by whom he is despised, in consequence of
his attempts surreptitiously to possess himself of the pro-
perty in ''mort main"
The Government authorized Paredes to raise in the
States before mentioned, a-limited military force; but this
General abusing that authority and exceeding his orders,
raised and enlisted to the enormous number of 15,000
men, well appointed and disciplined, with which he in-
tends to force Santa Anna to fulfil the promises he has
made the people, and in which promises he is also impli-
cated: this has caused the President ad interim, whose
views do not seem to accord with those of Paredes and
his party, hastily to augment his forces: so that in Mexi-
co alone, he has 10,000 men, the greater part assembled
together without discipline, and confined in Convents in
that Capital and in those of the adjacent towns, such as
St Angel, where they are guarded by corps of confiden-
tial troops to prevent dessertion, which notwithstanding all
these precautions cannot be prevented.
At Jalapa there is a cantonment of 2,600 men, only one
squadron of which is organized; this force is under com-
mand of D. Ciriaco Vasquez In the garrisons of Vera
Cruz and Ulloa, there are.800 men under command of
General Benita Quijano, commanding General in place
of D. Gregorio Gomez, accused of venality in the pur-
chase of the Steamer recently obtained.
At Puebla, General Canalizo is in commnnd ; at Tam-
pico, Rivas; these and others, such as Mifion and the bal-
ance, are up to the present time, in Santa Anita's confi-
dence. Codallos, Mozo, who were deprived of the com-
mand of the Artillery are in disgrace with him ; Requeiia
to whom he did the injustice of not giving it and others,
who like the above surrendered with Bustamente, are
excluded from a share of the loaves and fishes.
"Santa Anna' has ordered a suspension of the payment
of troops through the Custom-houses, and among other
matters of serious consideration he is warring with the
ft,H,i.tln ..ili!ili3ium:tn Kiatro Kopnmt. tha nnnlp nf
discord.
' Rejon has gone on" his mission to "Peru, with" the great
title of Minister Plenipotentiary, after having received
88,000, an amount excessively large, taking into consid-
eration the extreme scarcity of funds wsth the present
a'd ministration. Commercial business is at a stand.
-The expedition to Yucatan is not thought of in Mexico.
although some of her people are continually importuning
that this e-vu may be enecteu,ana aavancinga tnousana vis-
ionaryrtheories as to the facility with which it may be
conquered. Neither is any thing thought of as regards
Texas, for they have enough to do with the concentration
of evils in which they arealready involved.
.The treaties with Yucatan remainundisturbed. We
are-assprecl.that Mr. Ouintana having confidentialy mani-
-r - . -v. -'
Tested' tOHSantaAnna",Jrthat heAhadrnot powers to decide
i.&ifiematter; 'it was ordered to be laid aside to be acted
on ai some more propitious moment
" Finally from all this, the deductiontp be made is, that
the nation is, as it were,pn,fhe crater ofapjeano; which
niustsoon explode with iheunostdisastrous consequences.
The course pursued by Santa-Anna inspires no confi-
deeev ,He has many and powerful enemies, and they, as
well os'-him.self, "are aware of their, sitaation-are endeav-
oring" to prepare to devour eachVother, and destroy the
social compact "which under' these circumstances must
