To Genl. S F Austin Com. in Ch. of the army of the people, Sir
I dispatch this by J. A. Padilla, With a Small detachment of c~le_j_r_oops~_!hese may be made very usefull perhaps, if retained as expresses- and are placed al Your disposal. The broken battallion organized here on the arrival of Capt Smith and Alley, became disaffected Yesterday and dissolved. This event, together with the consent of Capt Alley, leaves me in command of this post. I am satisfactorily informed that there are at the Cantonement on the Nueces, 3 ps Small Brass Cann. a considerahle supply of arms and amunition, and a Valuable CabaUada, and only 30 or 40 men. I Suggest the propriety of reducing this post. It will give security to the frontier, Supply us with some important means of defence, Strike a panic and encourage the counter revolution in the interior and if a clash were made on J\'latamoras
