Upon what enns Dr. Robert fo a received the country, it is diliicult to conjecture, we may venture, however to lurmiie, that they are Rich aa lhali guaran tee to America not only the prefent occupancy or that province, but lecure cfieclually her claim to the country eaft of the Rio Grand This was the firfl object connected with the independence me etiflaved Mexican had in view, by the brave Americans who ef pouted their caofe. xhfefe ions 3nd champions of freedom, had never loft fight for a moment of that country to which they are indebted for their birth their feeling, e? We cannot abfolutely vouch for the truth of this report but fhotyld it be tn:e, we fincereh participate in ilie gratificatton thatmuft be univer lally experienced at the attainment of this high object without blood Led. Salcedo has certainly acted wifely in furrendering the country it would have been impoffible to have held it, at)d an attempt would therefore have been aii outrage upon humanity. pur informant is direct from the army, and ftates, that he left thtfrn within two da) s tru;? ch of St. Antonio, in hifih fpirifs. and m a ft ate ot readinefi tor the field, mould an appeal to aims be neccila r v. 4 We can odd little to wht ,s communicated through our lalt paper Letters from the i rinity confirm the con rident anticipations cl- fucceis. Indeed no doubt feems to ex ill of Antonio's falling an ta y conqueli to the republican arms, 1 his event will lecure effectually the independence ot 1 exae and Will, no doubt oe the harbinger ol 1 berty to the whoic Mexican provinces We pu hlh the following extracts from u o letters ua ted at i rinity the IJth anu 1 8th ult.
