A force of 2000 republicans are now collected on the river Sabine. General Adair, who leaves this place to-morrow with 300 men (all Americans) goes to meet them. Mr. Johnson, of Rapide, who is appointed a colonel, will very soon join him with about 300 men.
When these parties are united, they will form a respectable force; indeed such is the present power of the republicans, that all communication with the interior is suspended, that for the last three months not one Spaniard has arrived here for the purpose of making purchases.
