Invasion of Texas by Mexico. -The tii Orb. aos American credits the rumors of an intended invasion of Texas by Mexico, and says, it has information of a creditably character, which justifies that belief. We place but little reliance in the report to the extent which it now goes, but we deem it probable that the subjugation of Texas by Mexico may be undertaken, though, wo believe it will not be accomplished. The information of the True American rs that the Mexican soldiery, to the amount of S000 men, will, rendezvous on the Rio Biazos on ihe western confines of Texas and that 400 cavalry will support the main army on the right and left, so as to sweep the whole country. The report states also, that the war is to be one of extermination, every house is to rased to the ground, no quarters allowed to men, women or children loans to be sacked and destroyed, and if possible, every vestige of civilization oblit erated from the face of the country. The army to be under the command of Busta mente, and should he not prove a match for the Texans, Santa Anna ii to take tho field, at the head of 10,000 men. This last we think more unlikely than any other pirt of the story, though the whole wears the face of improbability. Santa Anna must have a dread of again undertaking the conquest of Texas, whilst the memory of his former sad defeat is so fresh in his mind. We give the rumor, however, as one interesting to many of oUr readers and may add that the proposed invasion, it is said is to be commenced in September. Baltimore PatriQU
