Sir ain very sorry to see the Texans completely
gulled lued to sleep by fair words from Santa Anna
or other persons; are they not sufficiently acquainted with
the Mexican character to know there no dependence

at any time to be trusted Since the Texas people have
declared themselves independent, they have made them
selves enemies with the whole country. They aust

a separation of these Northern States will be effected
and then Texas, if she wishes TO be free, will have to

have come from Mexico 10 Filiso!a, insructing him
to grant to the coonists of Texas, all and every
thing they demand even their independence, which
he is authorised 10 recognize under a power from
