Ampudia must have been particularly well posted as to the time when the United States troops would leave, to be enabled to invade Texas directly after their removal. Allt strikes us that an enterprise so quixotic as the subjugation of Texas to Mexico by any force at the command of the latter Government, would never be attempted. Ampudia's demonstration can only be intended to annoy and harass the Texans and drive them back upon the United States for succor — a proceeding which no influences but tut for Sam Houston's ill-timed interference, would have prevented the Napoleon of Mexico from giving the United States any farther trouble, have no reason to fear Ampudia. There are no better fighting men in the world than the Texans, and we pity the Mexicans who, wantonly and unprovoked, have profaned the sanctity of Texan soil.
