Highly Important.-The New Orleans Courier of the 18th ult., contains the important information received from a creditable source, that the Camanche and several other tribes of Indians, had joined the standard and would aid the cause of Santa Anna against the Texians. Santa Anna was then advancing against San Antonio with a force of about 500 men and a small park of artillery. The Indian force amounts to about 10,000 warriors and 5000 cavalry. It is also stated on the best authority that the treaty made between the Camanches and the U. S. had been destroyed. Santa Anna, it is said, had offered the Indians as a bribe, the whole of Texas, if they would assist him in recovering it.

If this be true, it will require a large force on the frontiers of Louisiana and Arkansas to keep the Indians in awe, and the poor Texians will have now a poor chance of gaining the independence for which they have been so long struggling.
