Demand for labor. There ne

but extends to every class, farmers
included. Although thousands of I

TEXAS.
New Orleans, Julu 18. By
the schr. Julius Cesar, which arri
ved yesterday from Texas, we
have information that renders it
very doubtful whether the Mexi
can army will really prosecute fur
ther operations for the present at
least against 1 exas.
From Texian spies sent for the
purpose of reconnoitering the en
emy, it is ascertained that the
Mexican army has not advanced,
and that its numbers are continu
ally diminishing by desertion.
Ihe lexians are in fine spirits,
and have no lack of arms ammu
nition and provisions, and with
force sufficient to repulse the inva
ders with great slaughter. Santa
Anna had solicited by letter the
amicable interposition of Gen.
Jackson, and had conveyed to the
Mexican Government his opinion,
that the conquest of Texas was
impossible, and that the Indepen
dence of Texas should be recog
nized. The schr. Brutus, Capt. Hurd,
was at Matamoras, blockaded by
the Mexican brig of war Vencedor
del Ala mo, but would soon be re
lieved by the schr. Invincible,
Union, and other vessels, that hat
proceeded there in tow of the
steamboat Ocean, for the purpose
- cp.uriug me orig. i he steam
boat was ladened with volunteers,
and for her protection there was
raised a breastwork of cotton
bales.
The Mexican brig will in all
probability fall a capture to the
Texians.
It seems that the Vencedor had
been despatched from Vera Cruz,
in order to protect the schooners
Cumanches, Fanny Butler and
Watchman, which were stored
with provisions for the Mexicans.
Finding that the Texians had al
ready intercepted the said vessels.
and appropriated their cargoes to
their own use, she verv wielv
proceeded to take if possible what
Texian vessels might fall in her
way. It may not however nrnve
a judicious step.

tion, without paying the slightest
regard to the rights of the propri

for freedom. Others were in fa
vor of understanding the subject
Deiore they acted, and of doing
nothing precipitately. The spee
ches of the first were dogmatical
and inflammatory, and in all re
spects mischievous. The other
speakers, though not hostile to
emancipation, were hostile to the
absurd and ridiculous views of
those who, under the mask of phi

Suppression of Gambling Hou
ses in Paris. The French Cham
ber of Deputies have passed an
important vote, suppressing all the
gambling houses of the capital,
from January, 1838. The com
pany which had farmed these es
tablishments, had hoped to parry
the menaced blow by volunteering
to suppress such gambling houses
as were frequented by artisans,
and where the stake ws as lew as
a franc. The Home and Finance
Ministers deprecated the loss to
the revenue, and proposed a more
gradual suppression. But the
Chamber decided upon adopting
the motion of M. Gaetan de la Ro
chefoucauld, which fixed the com
mencement of 1 838, as the term of
permission to such houses.

Paris National,
Surgical. Dor-tor Duval, or
thopedal practitioner in tin civil
hospitals of Paris, has performed
frequently of late, and always
with success, an operation by
which club-feet, the most deform
ed, and which the machines could
not cure, are set perfectly straight
at the end of thirty or forty days.
This operation, which had not
been performed before at Parh, is
not painful. Among those cured
by Doctor Duval, are some who
had been lame thirty years. The
Academy of Sciences, and the
Royal Academy of Medicine, have
appointed committees for the pur
pose ol examining the excellent
results obtained by this physician.
