The following article from the New Or
leans Bulletin Of the 22d, looks as if John
Bull is likely to tender some assistance in
a private way TO the Mexicans.
Expedition in favor Of .Merico.-We are
Informed that q report was current at Mat.
amoras that two private armed English
vessels were fitting out at Jamaica, to as
sist the Mexicans in subjugalng Texas.
This may or may not be true, although
the visit Of coincidence made by the British
Ministry to the acting President of Mexico

report. England will not act openly in hl.
business, but covertly she may encourage
her people in fitting out expeditions against
Texas.
