The steam packet New York brings to New

! beyed the orders of the department IN having re-
peatediy refused to return the vessels under hs

Yours, truly, f. w. MOORE


The Indians on the frontier have proved some
what troublesome, considerable dcpredations hav-
ing been committed by the Lpans and Tonkewas


Intelligence is also brought BY this arrival Of
another Santa Fe expedition. 1t Is announced
in an extra Cirilian of the 9th nst which states
that early this spring Col. Snivley received com
mission to raise a body Of three hundred volun-
teers in the frontier counties of the Northeast, for
descent upon Santa Fe, and the capture Of the
tyrant Arnijo and traitor Lewis, and TO infict
suitable punishment for the barbarous treatment
visited upon the trading expedition under Mcleod
and Coax. The great difficulty was not to raise
the requisite number of men but to keep too many
from Joining. The various counties readily turned
out from twenty-five to forty men each. Five
hundred, says the Extra, are certainly known to
be in The field and it is thought the force is nearer
eight. The place of general rendezvous was Coi-
fees Station--the time, the 18th of April. The
route was on the south side of Red River, and
military operations were to be exclusively confined
to the territory of Texas and Mexico. From the
information from Santa Fe, strong hopes were
entertained Of the capture both Of Armijo and
Lewis The volunteers were all fitted out at their
own expense, well mounted well armed, &c.


The Cirilian concludes its notice as follows


They are believed to have information of all
the Mexican parties which were to have left either
Santa Fe or st. Louis, and will probably inter-
cept them on the road. Their object does not,
however, end here. The city of Santa Fe will
be entered and, if it is deemed prudent, and the
people Of the country are able to distinguish their
friends and benciactors from the tyrants and
bIood-suckers who now oppress them, descent
will be made upon chihuahua and the whole of
Northern Mexico may be rcvolutionized On
this however, the men are determined: That
they will not return without Armijo and Lewis,
dead or alive.
