From Texas.- Accounts from Texns repre-" lent thai the Mexicana intend soon to mako a lecisive altcmpt for tho subjugation of Texas. - Tcxas paper says that the policy recommend3(1 by the Texan government s to cross rhe rivcr ind levy enntributions on the Mexicnn towns j Chihuahu, for exatnplc, is martod as good for $200,000', Montcry nnd Saltillo $100,000 eacfy &c. ; and the valley of the Rio Grande is expecled to lurnisb horses, catllo and shecp by thousands. In short the expenso of thé war is to bo' provided fr by robbery - which perhaps is not alogether un fair, as the war is forced upon tlio Texans. The ordere of the President to General Somervillo are to concéntrate the troops on tho cast bank of the Rio Grande, where such of them asare not willing to cross will be pertnitted to reurn. Tlie penalty for not marching to tho Rio Grande, is a forfeituro o f citizenship, and of all right or title to land, and a fine of live hundrecï dollars. A treaty with the Indiana was to btj held at tlie Waco village on the 20th of October, the object being to secure peace with all the bovdering tribeá.Tiiis state of things argües poorly for the suc;ess of the Texnns. Citizens who care so littlo' ibout liberty that thcy cnnnot bc inducod oven to' cnlist in the army unless coerced by a forfeiturc af citizenship and real estáte, wc should ihink svould makebut an indiilciont irmy of patriot ii ii i MMiliilMMMM
