The New Orleans Bee of yesterday contains the following dismal intelligence from the Taxas exped- ton to Santa Fe. winch it considers too probably true. If so the fate of old friend Kendall oi the PIcayunc, is, we fear, past hope. "lnteigenoe has been received by a letter from Chihuahus, to effect that when the expedition approached within few hoars march of Santa Fe, five persons, of whom Mr. Kendall was one, were sent m advance to the town to inform the authorities of its approach, and assure them of it's peaceable purpose. These persons were immediately seized and three or four of them shot. The citizens then went out to meet the Texians and assured them that they were perfectly willing 10 re- ceiNe them upon condition that they would surrender their arms beiorc entering the town. The Texians, ignorant of the sacrifice of those who had proceeded them, were induced by the protestations of their decctfui foes to adopt this advice. When they had delivered up their arms, they were seized, and after submitting to the most appalling indignties, marched off to abide the determination of Santa Ana" Some question of public law, relating of the rights of the American citizens in that expedition to the protection of thoir own Goyernmen, earnestly argued in the Bee.
