From the N. O. Picavune. Oct. 18. LATE AND I.MPORANT FROM TAMPI 00. The schooner Renaisance arrived yesterday from Tarnpico, having sailed the Gtlt inst. She brings us the important news of an outbreak in Tampico, directed against the military fojce stationed there by the government. The details will be found in the following lo'ter: Tampico, Oct. 5,1343. A movement was made on the night of the 29th ult., by the National Guards of Tampico, | for the purpose of banishing the military from j the town; the force of the latter was about 103 men. Their reasons for taking this step was i that the military intended to disarm the Nation- j al Guard, and pronounce lor Santa Anna as i soon as their force should be stronger; and a j re in force m'nt of 60 men was already cn rou'r to join them from Tula, and another large one from Iluastcca. The National Guard consisted of about 150 men, armed with muskets; and they congregated in front of the court house and demanded that (he ayuntamiento should be convoked, which having been effected, they de* j tnanded that the military should be ordered to ! leave. A message was then sent to Colonel j Tenorio, in command of the military, to that ; effect, io which he replied he was ready to do | so, provided they waited an answer Irom the Supreme Government, at Mexico, and that meanwhile he would maintain his position in I the military Hospital, and not have any thing to ' do with the town. This was refused by the commissioners named by the National Guard, Messrs. Pablo Castilla and Jose II. Gonzales. Things remained in this state until next morning, the 30th, when two commissioners were sent by the military to see if they could come to some other more advantageous terms, but the Nation* al Guard contined firm, saying they must leave immediately. The commander-in-chief of the National Guard, Manuel Solorsano, being frightened, now refused to be, as lie said, al the head of a sedition and insulted Pablo Castilla with some expressions, when the people of the town and National Guard cried 'Death to Solorsano,' and Castilla put himself nt their head, and at 10 o'clock, P. M-, the Nacioualcs being eager to fight, were formed at the court house. The shops of the town were closed, and every thing wore the semblance of a row. Amongst the National Guard were many men who hud figured in the federal cause in 1838. AH, however, were stopped by the military offering to evacuate on the following morning, (the 1st of October.) This, however, Colonel Tenorio did not do, alleging that he was not ready. His object obviously was to gain time, and gpt in the reinforcement from Altamira.? The National Guard was now much excited, and Tenorio wrote in a promise to leave on the 2d, at 3 o'clock P. M., which was granted. Du ring the intervening night, a party, consisting of about 30 men, under adjutant Jose II. Gonzales, succeeded in effecting an entrance into the house of the American Consul, Captain Chase, and obtained possession of a small howitzer that had been left by Colonel Gates for the protection of the town against the Indians. Mr. Chase had refused to deliver it up during the previous day, as he had no wish to favor either party, and the entrance was effected by the Captain of the parly having his force cencealed in an out-house, and advancing to the door with a letter from the alcalde. Mr. Chase was in bed, but he got up to admit the bearer, when the party rushed forward, behaving, however, with great respect to the Consul, and not mo Jesting him turther man 10 gam possession uj the piece, when they left the house with it. Next day, tJio 2d, Castilla made tin; neresnry preparation for the attack. The military were' now in the Fort known as the Powder .Magazine, which is a solid stone building, with a fosse round it, on a hill outside the town, and near the cemetery; but all bloodshed was saved by Tenorio evacuating with his force to Puel?!a Yiejo at about 1 o'clock P. M., when the National Guard adrnnced and took possession of the fort. Mad tho National Guard not shown the firmness they did, Colonel Tenorio would have waited until he was joined by the 00 men that were expected in the same night from Alfamira, when there would have been some fighting. The National Guard of Tampieo consists of tome 600 men,, but there, are only 100 muskets. Pablo Castilia is now their chief. He has issued two or three proclamations. There is a rumor in town that the Ministry in Mexico have made a pronvnciamcnlo in favor of Santa Anna. * LATER FROM TEX \S. The steam ship Palmetto, Captain Smith, arrived at New Orleans Wednesday morning from Galveston, having sailed on the 15th inst. The Palmetto towed the barque Tonro into Galveston on the 12th inst., the barque having been dismasted. The crew of the schooner arrived at Lavacca, and reported that vessel a total wreck. She had lelt Matagorda for Mobile, and was driven back by stress of weather, and lost on Mustang Island. The Victoria Advocate of the 23th ult. says the Texas Rangers have not yet been disbanded. The same paper learns that Brigadier Genera| Harney is to take command of the forces on the frontier of this State. The Victoria Advocate of the 5th inst. gives the following report of savage murders: Wo learn llial on last .Monday week two young men by the name of Davis (brothers) ; were inhumanly murdered at their own house, i upon the head waters of the Clayto, about the upper corner of Dewilt and Goliad counties.? These young men were settling a new .place j on the creek, and, together with another brother, j kept a bachelor's ranch. Very early on the morning of the murder, the oldest brother left j home upon some errand, lie had scarcely got out of sight of the house before he heard a gun I fire, bilt thinking it was one of his brothers who had shot at a deer, gave himself no tinea j sines*. Hut what were his feelings when on | reaching home next day he found both his bro.

A company of the neighbors was soon on the trail, which they followed to the mouth of the Cibolo, whore it crossed the San Antonio river. It is generally believed that these murders were committed by a party of Mexicans, as they t""k j special pains to leave Indian signs along the j trail, thinking to produce the impression that j it was done by Indians; but the device was too shallow to cath Texnns. It is believed that they carried off several horses from the settlement. Two Moke Men Killed.?Wc regret to learn that a party of three men were attacked by a body of Indians on the road between (Jo liad and San Antonio), near the Cabaca, oil last Friday, and two of them killed, and the other escaping with three arrows shot in his person. The name of one of the deceased is Biven ? the ? ? r I. || t...? #l.,? ,.r WOUIIUea OHO JOSepil IIUIC i/m Mm VI the other deceased person we have not heard, j We suppose there cannot be a doubt that these murders, and pet haps the Davises noticed by j lis last week, have been perpetrated by hostile tl Indians, who we have no donbf have ventured 1< into the settlements knowing that tin? Texan d ranging companies have been disbanded and h our border defenceless. s The citizens of Goliad turned out en masse s in pursuit of the Indians, but what success they f] have met with in chastising them we have not r learned. It is not known what tribe it is; but j: we are. inclined to think it is the ('ainauehes. Since the above was written we have learn- c ed that two more bodies have been found on the r San Antonio road, near the Ciliolo, supposed to ] have been killed about the same time as the < above. We also learn tlint a party of Indians j < were seen by the Taylors of 1)? Wilt county, : t on the road between the Ciholo springs and ; t Chisolnvs Ferry in the early part of the week. ! I They intended to make a charge upon the In- t dian?, but they found their number too great to I do so with safety. They also found a white man's i \ scalp on the road, dropped by the Indians? i < whether the scalp of the killed heretofore men- l tioned by lis is not known. We learn that a company left I)e Wilt on Tuesday in pursuit of j I it... r.i,i;?na j. The same number of the Advocate lias the fdlnwing information in a po?t<cript; Mrnui:Rous Work hy tub Indians ?By t!ie following note we are pained to learn that j three of the valuable citizens of our valley have j j i?t been killed by the Indians: Clinton, (De Witt Co.,) Oct. 12, 1548.

We want help at Tumlinson's on the Colelto. W.M. P. PATTERSON'. J. J. TIIMMNSON. P. DOWLEAUX. We learn verbally that Joseph Tumlin?or., i James York and II. II. Young, are the wounded persons. We have not been able to learn : the number engaged in the battle. This is truly bad news, and our citizens must ! be on the alert. There is no doubt but that it j ( is the Carnanches. 1 We stop the press to add a few particulars I to the above. A letter from J. X. Smith, Esq., of De Wilt, has just been received in town, j From it we learn that the number of Indians is ! about 200. The fi<iht took place west of the j | San Antonio and near the mouth of the Ciholo. ; j Our men were led into a narrow aenie, uno ny largely superior numbers defeated with the loss | as above. Indian loss not stated. A company of men are preparing to leave here this eve1 nitig. May they chastise the -Indians. They will go to York settlement or Goliad, from j whence the line of pursuit will he taken up. From the N. O. Picayune, Oct. 21. LATER FROM MEXICO. The brig 'Fiti, Capt. Kadovich. arrived yesi terday from Vera Cruz, having sailed on the I l:)th inst. Our papers by her are to the lltli j from Vera Cruz, the 10:h from Jalapa, and the ; i 7th from the city of Mexico. The British steamer Forth arrived at Vera j Cruz on the O'.li inst. She is now due at Ship j Island, on her return voyage. There has been a dillieolty in the city of j i Guadalajara between the Governor and the i .Military Commandant of the State, (Jalisco.) j The latter had at last' gone to the city of .Mex; ico with his complaints, and the papers, inI censed that peace should be disturbed by such ! quarrels, demand the abolition of all the Commanildiicics Gc.icrah-s. From the comments on this quarrel which we find in the papers, it is manifest that these military commandants are grievously suspected of being partizans of Santa Anna. Whispers of a revolution in Guadalajara in favor of the illu.triuus exile had been fur sometime current. From the Arco Iris of the 11th inst.. we translate the following paragraph. It is important ' as disclosing great distrust of Santa Anna's pur- | ; poses: t (.ivy. Santa Anna.?We learn that letters have heen received from (jen. Santa Anna by j , his friends, assuring them that he has no thought of returning to the Republic at present; that he ; is very pleasantly situated in his retirement, and that he would only consent to leave it in ' case the nation rn masse should demand it, or | the territory of the Republic should be invaded : by a foreign foe. These may very well be al- j i bares virjus, [anglice, oily gammon,] but if what ' , he says be true, we pray Heaven "to preserve ! him in this wholesome frame of mind. I The Arco Iris of the lltliinst. thus mentions I the Tampico movement: VKUY IMPORTANT NKWS KKOM TAMPICO.? I By an express, which arrived yesterday morning, we learn that a jinuiunciamcnfo has been made proclaiming the independence and annexation or that Stale to the United Stales. We have not been able to learn all the details, but the fact is certain. In consequence of this, or. ' ders have been given to disembark three him. i died muskets and other muninitions of war, 'which, by order of the (Jovennuent bad been sent aboard a vessel now in this port, and which were to be siyit to Tampico. This event will prove mo?t disastrous to the Republic, under the circumstance that the (lovcrnmcut is so j straightened for resources; nevertheless, hy ma- ! king a sacrifice so as to arm two or three ves- 1 I sols, which may blockade the port of Tampico, and by attacking tlie insurgents hy land, a new dismemberment may be prevented. It is believed that llie same tiling which occurred in J i Tarnpicd happened at .Matamoras at the same | time. i j Zempoalteca, of Jalapa, of the 10th inst., re- i gaids the Tauipico movement precisely in the i same light?as covering designs of annexation < to the United .States. It pours out anathemas i upon the authors ofthc project, and is in despair i at the ruin which threatens the country from this source. Xot a word is said abusive of the. ( United States, yet all seem to take it for grant- j , ed that annexation to the United States is the,: true and sole motive tolhn revolution. The , documents of Cut. Castilla, justifying it, are not j i re-printed, nor even alluded to. They art? ev ! j ideally regarded as shams. The Mexicans , ; should certainly know best what the cotispira- I i tors in Tampico are after, and we are bound j therefore to believe that the consummation oi l | the grand Sierra .Madre project is near at hand, i ( unless Mexican treachery should arrest it. i In this connection we may mention that let- ( ters have been received from Tainpico, from a ( source entitled to credit, which makes it appear ; that the (governor of the State o| Jamaulipas is | j in favor of the last jiroiiunriuinr.nlo at Tampico. j | Ho, as well as the great majority Jtlio citizen? ! ( are in favor ofa separation from the Republic j of .Mexico, ami the information received from j Mexico leaves no doubt that Santa Anna will , return to .Mexico in less than two months at the ( invitation of tins officers of tin? army, and that the same-government of misrule and plunder j wh'ch existed previous to the invasion of the , Americans wiil lie restored; and secondly. He. ; . cause the commerce 'if I ampico is utterly do ; 1 stroyed, ouing to tl.c following cause?the pns. i s session of the left hank of tho Rio Grande hy | t i-JLL-V A If UU'-UULLIII J. .JI'-JlBmCBTit'l >' :e Americans renders it impossible for the col- r ^clor at iMatamoras to suppress smuggling. To erivc any revenue from his office, therefore, e is obliged to admit goods on the terms precribcd for him by the merchants. The enneqoonce is that Tampico and other places are loaded with goods paying a nominal duty, and iiinoos losses are the result to those who itn tort goods through Tampico. So immediate did the (leneral Government innsider the danger of an attach upon Tampi* i in from the United States that before the late i ? 1 ' irotiunctamnnfa in that city troops nau ni't-n rdfifil thither from San Luis, Guanajuato and ilhrr points; and further, authority had been jonferred by Congress upon lho Government 0 employ the National Guard Mobile of the Yonlier States to repel any invasion which maj' hreatenlhc country. From the demonstration ately made in Tampion, litis "Guard" is not 1 ery likely to acquiesce in the wishes of the [jovernmcut, unless they shoul i square with heir own. There have been difficulties at Vera Cruz between the military and some of the people, growing of some personal quarrel; but so strong was tho indignation exhibited against the troops, I hat the military commandant had to order the regulars out of the oily. The circumstance of [he quarrel was of little moment, but the inference drawn from it by the Mexican editor is important, and shows that much the same state of feeling exists in Vera Cruz as has developed itself in Tampico. He tells the Government that so deep was the distrust of the regular troops on the people, that it would be quite impossible to rarrv any public measure into effect there which is opposed to the understood public interests. A paper of the capital .-ays that the permanent troops stationed at Vera Cruz are understood to he partizans o| Santa Anna and ready to support any movement"which may be made in lii.s lavor. There appears to prevail in the respectable journals ol the capital a sad, desponding spirit in view of tho many difficulties under which the country labors, and the total indifference thereto of the mass of the inhabitants. The return of Santa Anna is looked upon with almost a sense of terror, yet his paitizans are open and declared, and a newspaper organ is already established for him. The army is rep ~ resented as in a state of destitution and eager for his return. The States of Durango, Zace tocas and San Luis are constantly threatened and often devastcd l>y Indian incursions. A restlessness which bodes no good nninilests itseifin the principal cities, and flummery pro. cessions and festivals appear to occupy the minds of the people, inrtead of the necessities of their country. In commenting upon these topics, the editorsofthe capital, men of spirit and ability, evince deep and painful regrets. An indication not to be mistaken that a revolution, or an attempt at one, is sit band and in favor of Santa Anna, we have in the action of the State Legislatures?conferring extraordinary powers upon their executives to put down any attempt at disorder. The Minister ofllic Treasury, Senor Pinav Cuevas, has been seriously ill and public business much obstructed thereby. There has been a report current in the city of .Mexico that the .Minister of War had employed some. Spanish assassins to make away with Paredes. Government journals indignantly deny this. Wc might fill columns with details from our Mexican files, but have, only aimed to-day I" glance at Lwp most, engrossing subjects whirl) now agitate the public mind?the return of Santa Anna on the one hand, and the revolution ofTatnpico on the other. THE ANNEXATION OF CUBA. It would seem that our Government is at this moment engaged in negotiations with Spain for the immediate purchase of Cuba, if the statements made in a letter from Madrid, and pub. lished in the N. V. Herald, can be relied on : M adrid, September 19, 1343. Highly Important Intelligence from Spain? Xcgotialions for the. Cession of Cuba to the United States ? Probable Success. It is not often that there is information of an interesting natttrr to the United States, worth the trouble or expense of a correspondent, from this far lamed capital; but, during the last few weeks, certain matters have corn" to light, concorning the relations between the United States and Spain, which presents points of the deepest importance to both of those count pics, and to .1 i i _. i i ...i.: i. ...i i-..ii.. i llie WCinu ill largo,- anil union, -.vm-ii IIIII) nyun ii, i will, no doubt, create ;i great sensation throughout Ungland, an I the whole. of Ivtmpe. I have I reIcn-non lo negotiations which have recently been opened on the part of the United States, with the Spanis i Ministry here, (or the cession of the Island of Cuba to the United States, on on the payment of a considerable sum of money. I speak of matters, yon will observe, which, at present, are only known simony the diplomatic corjjt, bnt( which will probably get .inyi the newspapers, and hecome a g-ne:ul subject of' IDropeati remark, in a short time. As far as I can ascertain the (acts, fiom the best diplomatic sources, and in every possible way, I learn that, in July or August las', the United Slates government sent a despatch, through Mr. Sawyer, Secretary of Legation, addressed to Mr. Saunders, the American Minister here, containing directions fir him to sound the Spanish government, on their disposition lo sell or cede the Island of Cuba to the United States, and, if such a purpose could lie accomplished, to commence negotiations as secretly and as fast as possible, so as to prevent opposition or hostility from the British, or other governments. Mr. Sawyer has been here Ibrsomo lime, ami .Mr. Saunders I understand, lias l?*:eii taking some steps in the matter. Tim present state of all'iirs in lvirope lias disposed the Spanish Covcrninent to look lor a ,ie\v purchaser, and that purchaser is the United States. Accordingly, negotiations, with that ubject in view, may he said to be opened by I lie despatch which was sent through Mr. ; Sawyer, the Secretary ol Legation, in August, md deliveYed by liiui to Mr. Saunders, the Ainericau Minister at the Court of Madrid. 1 am not able to infirm you of what progress lias been made in these negotiations, but 1 shall mdoavor to ascertain and infirm you by the next llritish steamer, and give you all the ad- J litional information in mv power. Mr. Satin- j lers, I believe, made only an informal inquiry [ is to the disposition of the Spanish (Jovernment! n the matter; hut is very certain that several | imes one of the Spanish Ministers, on the ocNision of.vor/V.v given by the Queen in this captol let out such information oil the general sub cut as called forth from the press here and else, j ivliere. the iiurnateria) and merely diplomatic j rontradiclion I have rejerred In, which, in fact, utiotnilcd to no contradiction at all.

The sales of cotton the past week rcnchcd 9G00 bales, against the receipts in the same time, of 15,000 bales. Extremes ran from 4 3-4 to fi 1-lGc. At the close of the week the quotation for middling fsiir was 5 1.2, and fair and fully fair fr 5-8a5 3-4c. 50 bags of long cotton sold at T2al9c.

We are happy to announce that our branch road is completed to this place, and tjint it appears to be doing a good business in freight and passengers. On Friday last a train of tweaty cars fully loaded with freight arrived at our Depot, besides several other trains since that time. ITc trust the completion of this work ushers in a prosperous era in the history of our towr; its commercial business must he increased, and our tip country and North Carolina friends, will find it the most advantageous market both for buying and selling, this side of Charleston. The road is under careful management, and the merchants in the interior, must find the facilities it afibrds for transporting their goods, to he nf rrre.it ndvantarrc. We refer our readers lo an advertisement in another column, for the time of the arrival of the ears at, and departure from, Camden and < thcr points on the road. The company seem determined to render every accommodation and facility in their power. The vote of the State. Before our next issue the choice of the two Presidential candidates will be made, and as fir as our own Slate is concerned, the Legislature will have determined which shall receive her votes. It cannot lie doubted but Cass and Butler will receive these v.tes, as the re. cent elections have only exposed the utter weakness ol the Whig party in this State, for aided and abetted as it was by recreant democrats in Charleston, and by all the arts and deception which have been used, to invest ! Taylor with popularity in a few of the election Dis. i tricts, his motley list of supporters will not amount tc a corporal's guard. Wc have a few words however t< pay to our Represent.! tivcs;-it is possible that some cliic inery, some political trickery may be used by tbif clique, through which, lliov mav seek to have the vote of the State thrown away, if it cannot by fair or foul means be obtained dor General Taylor. Jt would scent fitijicifluous to say to our Legislators, that the pcuplt of the Stale, arc strictly democratic in feeling and prin. ciple, that the jugglery of politicians are held in ultei contempt, by the masses, and that llicy expect tlicii agents lo carry out their wishes to the letter. K-p? cially do tliey expect at this crisis, that nocircuinstan. ces whatever,-that no dcveloj ujents, which may he brought to light on tlie eve of the election?thai nc names of influence, lie limy who llicy may, pa rati <1 a: hostile to Cass, or favorable to Taylor, should cause their representatives, so far to forget tin: sacred oblige, tions which they owe to their constituency, os to manifest, by a wanton exercise of their power, an utter dis. regard all principle. To throw away the vote of the State now,Would be worse than to give it to Taylor,and to givi it to liiin, unsound as he' is very reasonably supposed tc be, on tlio "paramount issue," would be un outrage, that would deserve, and would inevitably receive the unmitigated reprobation of the honest democracy of Soutli Carolina. That man, who being elected, as fa. vorablc to our ancient Democratic Creed, bv pledge? either expressed or implied, and who now lor any cause whatever, should abuse bis trust, could never have the assurance, to seek a renewal of that trust, bis political doom would be su.ilcd. To the honest reprcsenta tivos of the middV & upper districts,we confidently look for the aduiininislration of one of the severest rebukes, that the Whig faction in this State have cvdr received. As an instance of Whig trickery in Charleston, wt may mention, that on the day preceding the election in the city, a Whig Cotninillcc, questioned the demo cratie candidates with regard to giving the election ol electors to the people; their own candidates of course having their answers in favor of the measure picpared, ami because the others did not promptly answer in the j papers on the morning of the election their silence was construed into an opposition to tlie measure and Was I us-, d ngiinst them by the unscrupulous Tuylorites.? Such chicanery as this may succeed in the city, but woul'd find little fivor amongst our honest yeoiiunry anywhere else. The giving of tile election to the pco. pic, is a democratic measure, and i' was such a barefaced client on the pirt of tho Taylor party in Charles, ton, out only wonder is thai it could jjull even the most unthinking and unwary. We have only to say to our representatives to he prepared fir any ami every species of political humbuggery; go up to the Capitol dctcrinin cd that nothi'.fj shall cause you to swerve from the line of duly, ami should startling "development,h" or even-Taylor p'edges he spread to cnlr.pyou, 3*our re. ply must he that which some moifths i<inco, rang through llio French Clianrbcr with thrilling effect:?

The Troy lludgct has some speculations with regard to the result of the Presidential Flection, and tho great hope of tho parly is that tho election will go into the House of Representatives. The Ihidget says; That the Free democracy will carry Vermont and Mas. sacliusclls and probably Ohio as well as Xew York and Wisconsin we will not permit ourselve to doubt. The question is whether Cass has votes enough to get it into the House of representatives. Our hope is, that he in iv oliiai i. if no; Ohio?which we intend to retain? ?J ? at least some other .State or States, ns once in the House the chances of Mr. Van ISurcn arc as great or greater than those of any other Candid ite." The free soil movement, is not one of any ephemeral character, to die away after this election. The New York Evening J'oiit publishes (he electoral voles of 1G Stales (two of the slavelioldiiig stales!) in which the onward progress of this (action is tuideninhlc. We do not be. hevivthal the leaders have the slightest hope of success now, it is to the election of 18.12, they look forward for a complete triumph. And who can say that there is no possioility of such a result ? Men of nil parties at the North, arc in favor of tho' Wilniol Proviso if not voluntarily so, compelled to lie so, by the overwhelming power of popular opinion, and it is more than idle for the South, to rely upon any President merely, for the inaiulaiiinneo of their rights, for there are few men, ..ill l.,r Hint 11 nil. r .i'liM u'oiihl out lm cnmiio!

To such n men as Calhoun, Jlerricn, and Iiutlcr, and their south- e crn associates, we now look for counsel, and guidance, a and we hope they will not consider it out of their pro. li vincc, nor inconsistent with their senaloral duties or v dignity, to .give it freely and unhe itatingly. The iniliativc movement in our neighbouring district of Fair- r field is being extensively noticed throughout the South- * crn Slates, and as it is all important, that no false * step should be taken at the outset, we conceive it to ho I high lime, for those in active public life, to set about t the work of organization. Our brethren of the press, i Democratic, Whig and independent, should all unite ,t in requiring this duty at their hands, that the people < may act with wisdom. | . ' I Death of Senator .Lewis.

We have before us in the columns of the Greensbo. rough Patriot the proceedings of^n Free Soil meeting held in Jamestown N. C. on the 13th ull. The prcam ble and resolutions uttered thereat, arc such that we tno struck with nnin7.cment that any portion of the people of a slave holding State could entertain such opinions o? could give utterance to such absurdities. We arc moreover astonished that the people of North Carolina, ever permitted such a convocation of wisctcrcs to ( quietly Inld their meeting for such seditious purposes, I and we arc no less surprised that any respectable | Southern newspaper shpuld publish their lanatical pro. cccdings.
