There has been some hard fighting in the province of

Texas, between SANTA ANNA, the Commander of the Mexican troops, and the marauders from Louisiana, who, taking advantage of the distracted state of Mexican affairs about a year ago, made war upon the Texians on speculation, awl possessed themselves of a consider- able portion of the province. The Mexicans appear to have brought a superior force against the interlopers, and to have de- feated them in every action. The New Orleans papers state that no quarter is given.
