"We are informed that, since the accession of Santa
Anna to the Presidency, whilst all his arts and influence
have "been used to conciliatethe spirit of revolt in his do-
minions, and to. bring back the rebellious Provinces to
their allegiance to the Government under the new dynas-
ty, Yucatan has been prevented from relinquishing the
independent position she assumed, soldi by the confidence
she reposed in the pledged assistance of a part of our
Navy. Although the Government of Yucatan is reported
to have consented to terms of re-accession to the confedera-
cy, yet, it is believed, from the best intelligence we have
upon the subject, that the Republican Party, (which is
the strongest and most popular Party in that Province,)
will maintain a sturdy resistance, if the Texas Navy con
tinues to co-operate with, them; and. on the other hand,
the withdrawal of our Navv will doubtless hasten the
submission of the Republican Parly, and the return of
Yucatan to the Mexican family ! It, then, it is important
to Texas, that Yucatan should remain in her present de-
tached and revolutionary position, the policy of continuing
the employment of the naval force now upon the Gulf,
in cnnju.iction with the vessels of war belonging to that
Province, is obvious and imperative. We must act now,
in this matter, without reference to the propriety or expe-
diency of the engagement of our former Executive with
the Commissioners on the part of Yucatan; it is too late
to debate the question whether Lamar was right or wrong
in making such a contract. Th simple questions to be
determined are, Do we not ad J a great advantage to
our own cause in perpetuating smd invigorating the op
position of-The Yucat"COs to the General Government?
May we not, by the opinions of our Navy, convince
even the stupid Mexican themselves, lhatfan invasion of
our country, it such a purpose is seriously enterininiri oy
their ambitious rulers, would be a vain and hopelrss un-
dertaking; whilst oneW their provinces upon the seaboard
was in arms, aiding and abetting an affective blockade of
their Ports, and the sacking: of their towns upon the Coast
and putting them under contribution ? Is not the inter-
ruption of our communication with New Orleans a pro-
bable result of the inactivity of our marine fo-ce at this
time? Antl is it unreasonable to believ, that the con-
tinual annoyance, distress and terror, to which the country
of the enpmy, on the whole line of his Coast upon the
Gulf, would be subjected, whilst our Navy was employ-
ed in active hostility, would bend his stubborn neck, and
finally result in extorting from hs fears what h$haui'h-
ti'icss will not consent to grant a recognition of our In-
dependence? "But, independent of the advantages enumerated be-
ing, as we are, in a state of war, and threatened with in
vasion not to employ tne omy effectual minium our
power to harrass and distract the enemy, might he justly
legarded as evidence of the most solid stupidity; more
especially when we are sensible, from experience and
the assurances of our naval commander, that it is per-
fectly practicable to make the enemy pay, from time to
time, the expenses of the expedition.
Putting the contributions that may be levied upon the
enemy out of view, however, it will cost us quite as much
to subsist the Navy in the Port of Galveston, as out upon
the Gulf. The true ecouoiny then, as to this arm of the
national defence, is sooner than lay it up in our Bay, to
rot, or be eaten by the worms to keep it in operation
against the enemy, as long as our propositions of Peace
are treated with contempt. Better that all our national
vessels were sacrificed in active service against the das-
tard foe, than lost in our own peaceful waters! Better
that the last ship, and the last gallant spirit of the Navy,
be sunk in the bosom of the deep, with a flag of defiance
"streaming in the wind" from the mast-head, than that
the enemy should be allowed to presume upon our sup-
posed lethargy and feebleness! Therefore,
Be it Resolved, as the unanimous sense of the People
here assembled. That whilst we defy and despise the bra-
vado character of the enemy's threats of invasion and
warlike preparations the true interest of the country will
be best subserved, in the present crisis, by the most active
employment of all the naval force at the command of the
Government in offensive operations against the enemy.
Resolved, That, the citizens of all the other Counties
of the Republic be requested to take this subject into con-
sideration, and to express themselves accordingly.
Resolved. That, in representative governments, the
will of the People, indicated in primary assemblies, is the
legitimate guide of public conduct for their rulers."
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

WHEREAS, it has beeu a custom among the civilized and
rliri-stinn na-'iins of theeaith. to render evidence ot a
sense ot national calamities, and ol national blessings, by the
public manifv station of their respect for the religions observance
of certain days, for fasting and prayer: And whereas, it is a de-
corous an J becoming acknowledgment of that feeling which
evines to our fellow men, and lo nations, that we entertain a
profound belief in ihe existence of an Almighty God, who con-
trolls the destinies of the world whose favor we invoke, and
whose wrath we depiecate: And whereas, the Texian people
harp henn ohieeisnf the peculiar care and interposition ol a Di
vine Providence; and after the chastisements of His will, lie
has mnnif'sted His abundant kindness, by enabling them to oc-
cupy a place among the independent governments of the earth,
Therefore,
BE IT KNOWN, That I, Soi Houston, President of the
Republic ol Texa, do by these pre-ents, recommei'd to the
good people ofTexas, to set apart and observe the second day of
March, 1842, the anniversary ol our National Independence, as
a day of devoti'inil exercises, by suppressing all temporal av-
ocations, and appropriating the djy to religious and christian
worship.
Done at the city of Austin, the I5th day of January, in the
vear of our Lord, one thousand eisht hundred and lorry-two,
and in the sixth year of the Independence of ihe Republic.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS.
Where vs, information has been communicated to the Execu-
tive, that certain individuals, resideuts of the Counties of
Liberty and Jefferson, combined together under the name of
"Regulators." huve murdered one Thus. D. Yocum, of the
County of Jeffers.m, burnt his late residen.eand itsappuMen-
ances, and driven his widow and chtlriitn from their uome,
and do sull persist in persecuting her ami preventing her l.y
threats and violence from retun ing ur from collecting what
remains of the piopertyol said Y ie urn, deceased; and that
the said individuals in connection with others, do siill keep
her and her family in constant apprehension for the safety of
their lives; and are committing various oilier outrages:
And whereas it is a fact well known that combinations ol men
have for some time existed in portions of ihe Republic, under
different namer-, and for different purposes, who disregarding
the Constitution and set'ing at defiance the magesty of the
laws, have assumed poweis w Inch the Jcdiciary ol the coun-
try alone has the authority to exercise:
And whereas all good, reflecting and law-abiding persons must
deprecate the existence of a state of society in any portion of
the Republic, which tolerates for a moment, under any name
or pretence whatsoever, the predominance of a combination
of individuals, who usurping io themselves powers at vari-
ance with good order and the laws, are enabled by violence
to carry out and exercise their unwarrantable assumptions to
such an extent as not only lo have become the arbiters of the
lives and properly of the citizen, but materially to injure the
character and prosperity of our country:
And whereas it has become the duty of the Executive to inter-
pose, in vindication ol the violated Constitution and Laws, in
these and all similar cases, io prevent the insurrections, vio-
lence, oui rage, bloodshed and crime, which are the never-fail
ing consequences of such combinations, when suffered to ex-
ist or continue:
Theiefore, be it known that I, Sam Houston, President of
the Republic ofTexas, in virtue of the power vested in me by
law, do in the name and by ihe authority of said Republic,
i.-sue this my Ptoclamation, requiring the District Attorneys of
the several Judicial Distiicts to prosecute all offenders of the
kind above referred to, and to bring the offenders to just pun-
ishment, in accordance with law, and I do hereby reqnirt all
civil officers and request all good citizens to aid and assist in
bi iuging said offenders to justice.
And I do hcre! authorize the said District Attorneys to make
requisition upon Colonels commandants of Regiments and oth-
er officers of the Military, whoe duty itshall be to render such
aid and assisiance as may be necessarv and proper to enable
thesaiil District Attorneys and other civil authorities to carry
into prompt and full effect the duties hereby specially imposed.
