On the 21st of June, the revolutionary flag was hoisted 12 miles west of the Sabine river, in the province of Texas.—Gen. Long is the chief of the army. His force is about 600 Americans and Spaniards—and near 3000 Indians. The head quarters would, by the first of the present month, have been fixed at Nacogdoches.
This force, and the preparations, present a tolerable aspect. The operations in favor of liberty in that quarter of Mexico, have been for some time suspended. It is hoped that Gen. Long, and the gallant force under his command, will give new life and vigor to the patriot cause. If their debut is successful, they may confidently calculate on an immediate increase of troops. There are many young men in America, panting for glory, and who only await favorable appearances to engage in the great struggle.
