Fears were entertained that the entire Texian army had been destroyed.
Another letter from the same place, from another gentleman, dated the 12th inst. says—" There is a letter of recent date here from Santa Anna, which declares that it is false that Mexico would cede Texas to the United States or to any foreign power-that the people of Mexico will not suffer it -and he will spend every drop of his blood and every dollar of his fortune before it shall be done -that he begins the campaign with the resolution to treat the insurgents as brigands. and that he should put an end to the rebellion by exterminating the rebels! This is a caution against speculators, who, we hear, are luring, by contrary reports, in the States north of us."

Event Details
A letter from New Orleans dated the 11th inst. informs that the last news from Texas was of a very gloomy character, with fears entertained that the entire Texian army had been destroyed. Another letter from the same place dated the 12th inst. quotes a recent letter from Santa Anna declaring that Mexico would not cede Texas to the United States or any foreign power, that the people of Mexico will not suffer it, and that he will spend every drop of his blood and every dollar of his fortune before it shall be done; he begins the campaign with the resolution to treat the insurgents as brigands and to put an end to the rebellion by exterminating the rebels. This serves as a caution against speculators luring by contrary reports in the States north of us.
