All the in habitants of Mlamuran without distinction of alienage, were eubjeuted to contributions for the support of the place. The Mexican schooner commanded by Thorn p son (of San Felippe memory,) was loat on her passage from Metamnra to Vera Cruz, and all perished, saving the Captain and two ma rines.

We are curious in know whether oar surmise in Uus res-peel i correct or not. A an evidence of the value of our trade with Me. ico. we need only refer to an ex ir ict from the annual report of the Secreta ry of the Treasury which appeared iu our pajwr of Saturday last. Louisiana is more interested inlhecom merce of Mexico and has more at stake, tlmn any of her sister stales yet notwith standing this she has been the foremost in giving succour to Texas when destruction threatened to overwhelm her. In requital for all 'his, her commerce is injured, and a large portion of her citizens perhaps ruined. We have always lecn and are still the steadfast friend of Texas, but her present course-is so uncalled int and fraught with ao many evils thai it cannot fail of being deprecated by every American. If Texas wishes to secure her indepen dence, she should neither by word, act of deed injure those who have been the first to sustain, and would be the last lo desert her in her maiutaiuance of her civil , aud political rights.

Since yesterday we have had sevenl late arrivals from Texas, but the only items of intelligence they furnish sre the blockade of Matamoras, and olher ports by the Texian naval force, the loss of the Mexican brig of war Correo Secondo, commanded by the notorious Thompson, the whole ol the crew or which, with the exception of the captain and two marines was lost ; and that the Mexican brig Va ancello was obliged Uf put back into Vera Cruz, in distress. A forced loart, according to the American of this morning, was collected at Matamo ras, and the A inerican - Consul com pelled to contribute thereto. Another contribution was threatened.
