The latest information from Mexico gives a very favorable account
of the state of public affairs, when compared with the events of the
last six months.
The 'Plan' of the Army of reserve,' at Jalapa, in favor of the
Federal Constitution, and system of government, has been sanctioned
by a decree of both Houses of Congress; and the States, in general,
have taken a very firm stand to the same effect. This unanimity of
public sentiment, once manifested throughout the nation, appeal's to
have quieted party excitements; and the Constitutional authorities
are busily engaged in restoring order and organization to the
different branches of the public administration.
It is understood that His Excellency Gen. Teran, is shortly
expected in this department, with a respectable body of troops, intended
for the protection of our frontiers.—The Tahaucana Indians have
recently committed numerous depredations in the Vicinity of San
Antonio de Bexar, and are Daily becoming more insolent. The arrival of
Gen. Teran, we make no doubt, will effectually check the predatory
excursions of those faithless savages, and afford complete protection
to the settlements. There is also much reason [on] the frontier
to expect that important benefits will result to Texas from the
location of an officer in It, of the high military, scientific and moral
character of General Teran.
This effort of the government to protect and foster the infant
settlements of this remote member of the Union, affords an
additional proof of the paternal care of the General Government towards
the inhabitants of Texas.—If ever there was a people who have
reason to be satisfied with their government, it is WE, the people
of Texas.
