The Tesian3 have now their enemy concentrated or cooped up in San Antonio without any hope of succor, without provisions, without external communication: so that capitulation or victory must shortly follow and this ma. be brought by next advices from Texas.

The stern line of tho Walk-in-the-Water was thfen cut, and by the action of the eddy the stern swung round against the stern of the Charleston, setting her on fire the second time. The Charleston was then sent adrift with her upper works in a blaze, and with but three individuals on board, toy: die Captain, Mate, and one of our citTzena Mr.

Mr. Calhoun, will find enough in the preamble and one resolution, to gratify his feelings. And if it were desirable to please the Jackson men, why he is styled our "distinguished Chief Magistrate," and his administration is 'generally' approved.

But if an enemy of General Jackson would be pleased to read a paper that contained a few cuts and thrusts at the old hero, he can be gratified in this preamble.
