Brown, from Granville.- Judgement of the Superior court affirmed. ***** War in Texas.- By a passenger in a steam boat from Natchidoches, we learn that two actions have been fought in Texas between the Fredonians and Mexicans, in both of which the former claim victory. Of the first fight we have no details. The last is said to have occurred on the 4th of this month, at the town of Nacogdoches. Some 70 or 80 Mexicans having advanced on the village, they were met by about 40 Fredonians, who soon routed their foes, killing 4 and wounding ten of the Mexican soldiers. Accounts from Austin's settlement stated the people to be about equally divided for the Fredonians and Mexicans. As, however, the former were the most noisy and violent, it was thought they would take all the authority into their own hands. N. Orleans paper. ***** It is estimated that 100 steamboats now float on the warters[sic] of the United States. [p.3] LATEST FROM TEXAS. Natchicothes, Jan. 21, 1827. By gentleman just arrived from Col. Austin's settlement, Texas, we are informed that Governor Saucedo has arrived there from St. Antonio with one hundred and fifty Mexican troops, on his way to Nacogdoches to suppress the insurrection which exists there. On the arrival of the governor at Colonel Austin's settlement, he called on the Colonel to know what part he inteded[sic] to act, when Colonel Austin informed him that he should act on the part of the Mexican government, and at the request of governor Saucedo, immediately called a meeting of the Alcaldas in the settlement, who unanimously resolved to support the Mexican government in opposition to the "Freedominions!" Immediately after the conference with Colonel Austin, the Empresato for the district, and the Alcadas of the same district. gov. Sausedo sent commissioners to Nacogdoches, to treat with the insurgents (or Freedominions! as they term themselves.) for a reconciliation. On the arrival of the commissioners at Nacogdoches the insurgents refused to hold a treaty upon any consideration, unless the Mexican government would acknowledge them "Free and Independent!" We have not been able to ascertain what measures the governor would adopt, as our informants left the district previous to the return of the commissioners.
