Berry is now Engaged in lssueing Land titles to 150-leagues of land-he is acting under a commission as it is said from the gov of Coahuila & Texas, and it is said that there are a number of Commissioners Engaged in clearing out and makeing titles of which the Puhlick Know nothing about There is a deputation here from Red river Who have come from there lo learn the stale of affairs here, and they have deputed l\'lr. Jas Clark To act as their representative till they can go home and Elect a set of Delegates to represent them in the Convention when it meets Mr Clark will be on in a few days to ask for his seat in the Council, the red River folks say, the speculators are Running in all their improvements.
