We were a little too fast, last week, in announcing the War in Texas to be at an end. It turns out that the body of Mexicans, pursued by the Texians, were but an advanced guard, of the main army, sent out by Gen. Arista to allure the enemy within his power. The Young Republic is therefore invaded in earnest, by a force of 12 or 15,000 men. The Navy of Texas has blockaded the Mexican coast, and vessels from every nation are, after the first of May, to be prohibited from entering their ports. President Houston has also determined to carry the War into Mexico, and not lay down his arms till the Banner of the "Lone Star" is planted in triumph over the ruins of Aristocratic Tyranny.
