We have seen a letter from Gen. Wilkinson, dated at the city of Mexico, just received by a gentleman of this place, in which
he states, that he has procured a grant for a
large tract of land in the Province of Texas,
and wishes to settle it with a body of honest
and well disposed Americans. The inducements which he holds out to emigrants are
very liberal and advantageous.
The General contemplates establishing a
Colony, either at the Bay of Trinity, 40 miles
from Galveztown, or at Crow's Ferry, on the
Sabine river, 45 miles from Natchitoches,
and expects to commence his operations in
September next.—Arkansas Gaz.
