Private letters have been received in this city,
giving more detailed account of the situation of
the Texan captives in Mexico. The persons ia
ken at Mier arrived at Zacubaza, five miles from
the city of Mexico, on the 18th February In the
onslaught made upon their escort, we are palne3dl
to learn that DR. Brennan and Mr.. Fitzgerald
were killed After the prisoners were reeaptured
Gen. Bravo ordered Meja, who was in command
of the escort, to put to death every tenth man in
consequence ofthe subsequent assassination OF
Mexican officer. Meja refused to obey the order,
When Santa Anna arrived in Mexico he gave Or
ders to have them all shot indiscrminately, which
was modified (through the remonstrance OF Gen.
THOMPSON and the British Minister) to declma-
tion as commanded by Bravo. 1t is hoped that
even this will be revoked.


We learn that three of the Perote prisoners ia
ken at Bexar have been liberated, and that George
Crttendcn, one of the prisoners taken at Mer, has
also been released.
