V€itTEXAS.A fetter just received from General Aus tin, dated the 20tli inst, informs us that a ! division of the army had advanced and tu! \ ken up a position at Salado, within five miles of San Antonio, in doing which they had come in contact with the advanced \ guard of the enemy, who still continued in I { sight, on the hill between our troops and , San Antonio. General Austin continues •, to urge reinforcements to hasten as fast as11 possible.San Feljppe de Austin, Oct. 24.DearSir—Knowing that your paper, basa very extensive circulation in the Uni- j ted States, and believing that many of your ! readers feel a deep interest in the efforts of Texas at this lime, I take the liberty of en* * closing for your publication, a circular, \ containing extracts of letters from Gen. Austin, from which you will learn that we will have something to do in reducing St Antonio. The forces of the cncmv and that of the volunteers are about equal in 1 number. Gem Austin despatched a com- i ! mumcalicn to Gen, De Cos, hv a Mexican,1 stating, that he was supporting ihe prinei* i pies of the Constitution of 1824, and en-1 quiring how our flag would be received.1 His reply was, ‘disband your forces, return ihome peaceably, and then perhaps I will! i listen to your petitions, at present I cr.n on-' ly regaad yon as rebels and traitors' We | will teach him that we have rights indc-I pendent of a dictator or military power, and that his haughty reply cannot influence Americans to compromise their rights.Your?, JOSEPH BRYAN.
