.Vexko ded Texav. r OA N . 0. P ica nuae of 12 1h in 1 FROM TEXAS. L.'e and Important.-By the *vrival ve.t'crlay of the steam packet Newlork, 4,apt. Wright, we have received Gal 0sion dates up to Monday. .,. be-principai news of.interest is the ac count of the proceedinsof the army ofthe other side oF the Rio Grande, It appears that the troops under Gen. Somervell tok posssesso of LAredo, a small town on the Rto Grande, on the 10th Of December. As the Texans approached the place. the few Mexican troops aMa tioned there Bed without making the least resistance. Gen. S. immediately addres sed a note to the Alcalde for ncceSaries, stating that if his requistion was complied with, the private property of the citizens would be repected. Upon this the sup plies were promptly furnished. Noiwithstandilg the positive orders of the offices. some of the Texan soldiers af torwards commenced pillaging the citi zens. General Somervell then drew up a paper, the purport of which was that no one should moles: the property ef tbe Mexicans;, This pledge was signed by between five and six hundred-tbe bal ance. numboring some hundred and fifty or two hundred, refused to put their nanes to it and have returned home. - On the same day that Loredo was cap turvdl the invading army pursued its route r .idly Jown the Mexican sido of the Rio Gi:nde :iowurds Guerrere, where it was expected they would meet with some1 lit - tde resistance. The i. tention was thou to aiIrch rapiily upon Mier, Corargo aud Reino'a, and capture thorn. By this timsie it is thtouhlit the invaders will be suEiertly reinforced to make a successful descent u'POn Matamorns. Cook, How ard, llayi. anA other brave officem are with Sutncrvell, and wo shall anxiusly wait fur the next news 'rom frontier.

I am sorely disappointed in not hearing of any enc'getic effurts waking in the in terior to reinforce the invading array. I hope the next arrival will bring better ne we on thissubject. A ratunor has reachted here, which I can-. not trace to any authentic source, that the troops under Somervell are surrounded by 1700 Mexicans on WVest and I200 on the East the latter between thetm and TFez u,.
