LATEST FROM TEXAS. By the Express Mail of last evening letters were received from Galv eston Bay, to the 3d inst., by the schooner Flash, arrived at New Orleans. They state that the army continued at their old head quarters, well organized, and increasing daily. The militia also, were in readiness to take the field and march to the frontier at a moment's notice, should the enemy venture to cross the Del Norte, which it is believed in Texas, they never will do. In the event of an invasion, the Mexican forces will be met on the Neuces, where their progress will be disputed, inch by inch; and where it is believed, the struggle will terminate. Neither the Government nor people feel at ail anxious about the result, being entirely

confident of complete success. The Mexican fleet had not made their appearance on this side of Matamoras, nor was it be lieved they would, as it is understood to be badly manned. Emigrants and settlers, as well as capitalists, were arriving dailv, and the price of lands was steadily and rap- j idlv advancing TheTexians were confidently anticioa1 V.IKIUO II V.H.

As far as we are enabled to form a judgement, we arc convinced that Texas has nothing to apprehend from an enemy so divided and distracted by internal divisions, as Mexico.

We did not hear Mr. Dunn's remarks, but wc arc told that he spoke but a short time, am was rather easy in his remarks in regard j to Internal Improvements. Col. James j spoke against the Present system, and ; thought something should be done to arrest it. Mr. Laxe made an able speech against the whole eoneem.md stuted the manner in which the system was passed he showed clearly that it was out of thc power of Indiana to complete the works in progress, j without oppressing thc Farmer, thc Mechanic and Merchant; that it was a scheme of speculation from beginning to end, and onght to be put down.

Now the fact is that there are no banks in lhis Stale except those of tho State Bank of Illinois and the Bank of Illinois at Shawneetown nor is (here any company in this Stale which have tho right to issue bank notes of any description whatever.
