Important from Texas.

--Advices from Texas, received via New Orleans, state that Gov. Houston and the Secretary of State refused to appear on the 16th instant, before the Convention at Austin, and take the oath according to summons served upon them. The other State officers appeared and took the oath.--Lieutenant-Governor Clark was to assume the Governor's powers on the 16th, and it was not known what Gov. Houston would do.--Indians in large numbers were on the frontiers, and the Convention was taking defensive measures against them. By way of Arkansas, we also receive advices from Western Texas. A number of United States officers had resigned, the troops were disorganized and short of supplies, and the Quartermaster's department out of funds. The troops had ceased to do duty, and were awarding means of transportation to the eastward. i
