In accordance with these usurped powers, it proceeded to annul the federal constitution and system, and to establish a cemnii or cnnsnliilaled government. How far it has progressel in Hie detail of this new system is un- IknoTvn to us. The decree of the 3.1 of October lust, which fie the outlines of the new irovernm.-nl, is however, satficient to show that the federal system nd compact are dissolved and centralism eaiannsn d. T,ie States are converted into departments. This decree is as follows, as translated Decree of the 31 of October, 1835.

"The decree of the 3 I October, therefore if carried into eflict, evidently leaves no remedy for Texas but resistance, secession Irom Jilexico, and a direct re sort tu natural rishts." These revolutionary measures ofthe party who had usurped the oovernnirnt in Mexico, were resisi ed bv Ihe people in the Males ol medio, uaxnro, Mex.co. Jalisco, and other parts of Ihe nation. The State nl'Z tea let m took up arms, but its efforts were crushed bv an army headed bv the Prescient, Gen Santa Anna, in person, and the people of that State were disarmed and Kubjecleil In a military govern ineiit. In October last a military force whs sent to Texas under Gen. C.w, for the purpose of cnforeiiiL' these unconstitutional and revolutionary measures, as ha I been done in Zacalecaa and other pari ofthe nation. 1 hi mused trie people ol 1 exas and the war commenced. Without exhausting the patience bv a detail of nnniernus other vexations circumstances ulour nohis, I trust that what I have said on this point is sufTici ril to show lint ihe lederal social compact of Mexico is liKxolved ; that we have just and sufficient cause to lake up arms against the revolutionary governmeni which has been established ; that we have Ibrborne until the cup was full to overflowing ; and that fur ther forbearance or submission on our part would have been both ruinous and degrading; and that it ivas due to the i'ieat cause of liliertv, to ourselves to our posterity, and to the free blood which, I am proud to sav, fills our veins, to resist and proclaim war against such acts of usurpation nnd oppression. I lie lustice ol our cause bring clearly shown, Ihe most important question that naturally presents itself to the intelligent and inquiring is. trinf are the ob jects and inteiitiiins of the people of Texas ? I o tins we reply that our ohiect is Ireedom civil and religious freedom emancipation from that gov ernmeni and that peop'e who, after fifteen years ex periment since Ihey have been seperated Irom Spain, lave shown that, they were incapable ol self-govern ment, and that all hopes ol any thing like stability or rational liberty in their political institution at least for many years are vain and fall.icious. Tuis object we expect to obtain by a tolal sepera- liun from Mexico as an independent community a new republic or by becoming a Slate ofthe United Stales. Texas would have been satisfied to have lieen a Stale ofthe Mexican Confederation, and she made every constitutional eliort iu her power to be come one. Uut that is no longer practical) e, lor that inf'ederation no longer exists. One of the two alter natives above mentioned, therefore, is the only resource which the revolutionary government of Mexico has left her. Either will secure the liberties and prosperity of Texas, lor either will secure to us the ! right of self-government over a country which we have redeemed from tiie wilderness, and conquered without any nid or protection whatever from the Mexican g ivernment, (fcr we never teceived anv) and which is clearly ours: Ours hv every principle by which original titles to countries are, and ever Imve been founded. We have explored and pioneer ed if, developed its resonces, made it known to the world, and given lo it a high and rapidly increasing value. The federal republic of Mexico had a con stitutional right to participate generally in this value hut it had not, and cannot have, anv other; and this one has evidently been forfeited nnd ilf-siroved bv filled,) but they, as well as the officers, revenues audi unc institutional acts and usurp.-it on, and by ihe lo- branchei under their charge, remain subject loand at tal dissolution ol Ihe social compact. Consequently, -the disposal of the supreme government of the nation, by means of their respective governors." City ofj .Mexico, Ucl. 3 I, IS.iS. MIGUEL BAMtAGAN, President pro. tern. MaNCEL Dli3 DE B.INILLA, Sjc etary of Stale. For the information of those who are not acquainted with the organization of the federal system and constitution of 1924, it may be necessary instate that this constitution was copied, as to iis general principles from that of the U. States. The general C ingress had Ihe same organization and was elected in i lie same manner. A Senate elected hy the State Legislature for four year, and a House of Rcprc-entatives elected bv the people fiir two years. A President and Vice President elecled fiir four years, i and removeahle only by impeachment and trial. The node of amend'ng the constitution was cleariy fixed. The powers ofthe States were ihe same in substance as ofthe Stales of the United Slates, and in some instances greater. During the recess of Congress, half the Senate formed the council of government. By keeping these facts in view, an.l then supposing the ease that ihe President and Conres of these United Stales were to do what the President and Congress of Mexico have done, and that one ofthe States was to resist and insist on sustaining the federal constitution and state rights, a case wool I be presented paral.el to the great contest between the true ami legal owners ol I exas, the onlv legiti mate sovereigns of that country, are the people of l exas It is also asked, what is the present situation of I exas, and ic hat are our present resources to ejject our objects and defend our rights ? The present position of Texas is an absolute De claration of Independence a total seperation Irom Mexico. Tnis Declaration was made on the 7th of November last. It is as Pillows : " Whereas, Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, an.l oilier military cliit fiains, have by force of arms, overthrown tin' federal social compact which ex isted between Texas and the other menihersuf the Hepo..-ale Irom Coahuila. Since the adoption of the lederal system in 1SJ4, the general government have never had any power or authority whatever to grant sell, or give, any luud in Texas, nor in any other Stale, jf'ii power mat vested in the respective States. The lands of Texas have therefore lieen distributed by the Stale of Coahuila and Texas (with the exception ofthe three bund ed families above mentioned) and not by ihe general government, and. consequently, u is truly absurd lor that government lo assume any credit for an act, in which it had no participation, and more especially when it has for years past thrown every obstaale in the way impede the progress of Texas, as is evident from the 1 1th nrlicleoflhe law of the 6th April IS30, wiiich ahso- 'ulely prohibited the emigration to Texas of cilizens ol the Umled Males; and many other acts ol a snn-ilsr nature such as vexatious custom house regula- t ons, passports, and garrisoning l ie settled parts of llie country wheie troops were not needc I to protect Irom the Indians, nor Irom anv other enemy. It in therefore clear that ifany credit for liberality is due, it is to Ihe S ale government, and how far it is entitled to this credit, men of 'judgment must decide, with the knowledge ofthe fact that it sold the lands of Texas at from thirty to fifty dollars per square league, Mexi can measure, winch :s lour thousand lour hundred and twenty-eight acres English, nn I considered it was gelling a high price and lull value fiir it. Toe true interpretation of this charge of ingratitude as follows: The Mexican government have at last discovered that the enterprising people who were induced to remove to Texas by certain promises and guaranties, have uy their labours given value to 1 ex as and its lands. An attempt is toereliire now made to take them from us anil to annull all (hose guaran ties, and we are ungrat fill because we are not suf ficiently 'docile, to mibuiit to this usurpation and in justice, as the " docile" Mexicans have ia other parts ol the nation. I'o close this mailer shout ingratitude, I wiliavk fit was not ingratitude in the people of the United Mates to resist the " theory ol oppression and sepe rate from Eng!and--can it be ingratitude in the peo ple ol 1 exas to resist oppression and usurpation bv seperaling from Mexico. To return to the declaration ofthe 7th of November last, it will be observed that it is a lotal seperation from Mexico an absolute declaration of Independence in Ihe event of the destruction of the federal compact or system, ami the establishment of centralism. This event has taken place. The federal compact is dissolved, and a central or consolidated government is established. I therefore repeat that the present position of Texas is ahtolule indepen dence : A POSITION II WHICH W HAVE BHt PLACED BT THE l'!f CONSTITCTIOff AL ANO REVOI.C-TIO.VART ACTS OP THE MEXICAN GOVCaNMEKT. The people of Texai firmly adhered, to tie latt moment. to the const Uut am which they and the whole nation had sworn to snvport. But the givemment ofMexi-c.o have not. The party now in p wer have overturned the constitutional g ivrrnment and violated their oaths they have seperated from their obligation, from their duly, and from the people of Texas, and consequently, Ihey are the true rebels. So far from being grateful, as Ihey ought lo Im; lo the people of Texas for having given value to that country, and for having adhere I lo iheir duty and constitutional obligations, Ihe Mexicans charge us with these very acts, as evidence of ingratitude. Men of judgment and impartiality must decide this po;nt. and determine who have been, and now are ungrateful. lases guarding tlt.m. From Nrw Orleam p-ipr. PARTICULARS 0I-' THE MASSACRE OF COL.

They were k ptSdavin confinement, being allowed oniy a small piece of1 beef to each man once a dav, ami no bread. Un the ninth day at sunrise, they were marched out under pretence o taking them to Lima no to embark lor Nw Ur. leans. The prisioners rejoiced at the prospect of speedy release, but when they round themselves di vided inti lour parties, each Willi a guard ol overwhelming strength, and that these parties were marched by dillerent routs, they began to have gloomy foreboding. When tbev hod marched about a quarter or half a mile, young I Imlden' companions heard a firing in the direction of Colonel Fannin's party. A murmcr arose that they were killing the prison ers. At that moment Ihe iroanl, which were in two ines, one upon each side of the prisoners, passed all to one side and commenced firing by platoons at the prisoners. Young Hailden and three others started and fled. I he cavalry armed with lances, pursued them ; they plunged into Ihe river and swam. One was killed in ihe water, one upon the hank, and the fale ofthe third is unknown. Young Hadden secreted himself until night. From his hiding place he heard the shrieks nnd groans of the wounded and (ring the cries of" O Lord !

It was not the proper moment for the government ofthe United Statea to interlere. I he hour was on it wing, but had not yet come. Let it be what the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. W ebster) had juaily culled a government de facto, and he could then stand prepared lo recognize the independence of Texas, in the hone of unitimr those who are on both aide of ihe Sabine, and who being all of ihe Anglo-Saxon race, imbued wilh the sam spirit, acting Irom the same principles, and looking to the tame objects, oui'lil to be united in interests and affections.

" That every people have the rijrht tochamre their government, is unquestionable; but it is equally certain and true, that thi change to be morally or politically obligatory, must be elfecled by the' free expression of the community, and bv legal and con stitutional means; fir otherwise, the stability of governments and the right of the poe pie would he t the mercy ofthe fortunate revolutionist! of violence or faction.

Had the change been arTeeted by constitutional meant, or haj a national convention been convened, nd every member of the confederacy br en fairly represented, and majority aiyree to the change, it would have placed the matter on different ground ; bat even then, it wonl.l be m.instreu to admit tiie principle, that a majority have the right to destroy ahe minority, fir the reason, that e!f-p-irrvalnii is superior to .1 priiiat obligation.

An express has arrived het via Natchitoches, from fcxas, and is confirmed bv Gen. Gaines, that Gcn. Houston, of Texas, has conquered Santa Anna and his army. Santa Anna himself, and his soldier, sre all prisoners. The forces of Santa Anna were esti- uated at 1 100, and those ol Houston at bOO. 1 he ex press further hlaleJ that Houston' army destroyed half of the Mexicans, anj the loss nn his side wai.ix kille I and 20 wounded. The saddle of Santa Anna was taken and brought in, and is of a cotly order, being estimated as worth between six and eiirht hundred dollars, and the ex press who brought in the news, rode on the horse of Santa Anna. The following information came lo hand yesterday : A iri-ntlcman of this city, who arrived this morning from Atskapas, in the steamboat Velocipede, Mates that on the evcniiiz previous tn his departure, two persons arrived at St. Martinsville, direct from Texas that these persons, who app ared lo be men of respectability, related as a positive lact that an en-Ka'jemeiit had laken place between Ihe Texian forces under General Houston and the Mexican army, in which the latter were totally routed, having lost 700 men in killed and wounded, an I 500 prisoners, anion whom was Gen. Cos. The loss of the Texian is said to be inconsiderable. The circumstances related by Ihese gen'.lcmen, were that the Mexican army had from some caue or other been separated into two bodies, divided by the river Brazos; that the sudden rise of that river prevented the two bodies from effecting a junction that Houston marched aainxt the larger body, amounting to 13 or 1400 mrn-ihat ihe latter retreated, and in their retreat si t fire lo the town of H.irris-burgh. Houston succeeded in overtaking them about seven miles from that town, and made a sudden and vigorous attack on them, and after some severe fijrhi- inir, the Mexicans were totally delrated, wilh Ihe loss above mentioned. These peril'euicn Haled lhat ihev were short distance from Hirrishiirgh, anil could distinctly hear the firing, and thai Ihe result was well known liefiire their departure tint Hous ton had inarched in pursuit of Ihe other body, which it was supposed could not possibly escape turn. LATER NEWS AND CONFIRMATION OF THE ABOVE. Since the above was put in type, we have been fa vored with the perusal of a letter from New Orleans, dated May Sd, to a jrentlert;an in ton city. e make the f illovving extracts : " The glorious news we have received is official, an I can he relied on. Had Santa Anna concentrated his two divisions, Houston would have lost the day. The latter General has lo encounter now, the division under Sesma." This it will be seen above, he is re ported lo have rut lo pieces. Ev. Star. PosTsra irr 1 2 o'elnrk, 3d .Vay Mail Closing. Uear sir i he steamboat Komeo has just arrived from Ouichita, Red River, nnd confirms the report brought bv ihe Lvant, and we have jii'l seen a letter from General Houston, dated 20th April, a few hours previous lo ihe battle. He slates lhat Ssnia Anna was in the field and thai he (Houston) had one half his m n in ambush in order lo coax Santa Anna on to give him battle. There is no donht lhat Santa Anna is taken as reported. No one doubt, it here." GLORIOUS NEWS FROM TEXAS. Defeat and capture of Santa Anna Re-capture of (.ten. Cos. By rrfcrcne to another rolumn, it will be aecn that Gen. Ilonilon baa had bailie ailli that pirlof th Meiican army cut off from the main body by the sudden ri of the river Bmzns.
