 Several merchant vessels have been converted into craft by the Mexeans, for the purpose of proec- ting their coast and shipping, from the Terrible, and other Texan schooners of war, which, 1t would appear have already captured several Mexican vessels The "TeegrapR2 speaks of a minister agent from the United States 'beng his way to that country and governments As appearances would indicate, there Is very little doubt to be entertained of Texas soon be- coming recognised Independent sovreignty by the United States.n
