this occasion reporter forgot the rule, and we OF
coarse gave him lecture as we always do IN such
cases.
We trust that the Messrs. Hoppers will bear IN
mind, that while we thus deprecate the language IN
which the affair has been represented in our columns
resist the chance TO give them ilttie good

Of the Merchants Exchange, New Orl ans:-
TAMpIco, Feb 2sih 1897
Notwithstanding the nonsensical rant in the Ame-
rican papers, concerning this country and the expe
dtons destined TO operate against the Texans, you
should know that the Meylcans and their government
are resolved 10 make Texas enter into It's duty, and
thew will do so. Every thing is now ready for the
march of the troops which composed of 5000 in
fantry and 1909 cavalry, with their corresponding
tllcry; and the command is cenfded to Gen. Busta
mente, well known for his valor and patriotism.
Although with great trouble there have been equip
ped three briggs six schooners and twelve gun boats
and there expected from Jamaica, two good
steamboats,, and one brig, under the command OF
VIM. Mckenzie, who served with Commodore Por-
ter in the War ofIndependence. Of
As soon as these vessels arrive, about 1000 men
will be embarked to operate by against Galveston,
and the other troops will go by land, TO unite with
them, under the command of Bustomenie.
P. S. The arrival Of Santa Anna will not change
in the least degree, the aspect Of the things OF Texas
because he has agreed with Bustamente and our go
vernment; and repeat that the expedition will start
about the middle Of March, if not sooner.

New YoRE, 29th March, 1887.
Jehn A. Serens, Esq. Choirman-Sr: had this
day the honor Of receiving yOur communication OF
the 2e,h inst accompanied by the signatures Of many
highly respectable citizens Of New York, requesting
the interposon of the Bank OF the United States 10
assist in removing the existing embarrassments of the
commercial community. The Board of Directors on
learning from commHtee of ysur fellow citizens the
existence Of these difficulties directed me TO visit New
York. for the purpose OF ascertalning their nature,
and the most eiIectual mode by which the Bank
could be useful. All the suggestions for that purpose
contained ln your letter. will accordingly be presented
20 the Board Of Directors, from whom they will
ceive the most respectful and early attention. lnhe
mean time what my own observation suggests as the
of these troubles that recent events IN the
South and IN Europe have, IN concurrence wnf1 rea-
of earlier date produced paralysis OF private
credit whcn defangeu mo Who,e system oil our To-
ragn and domestic exchanges. Fer this the appro-
pirate remedy be substitute for the private
credit Of individuals the moro known and established
credit OF the bank, until public confidence in private
stability has time TO revive
To the foreign exchanges would apply that res
torave by issuing the engagements OF the bank pa
beia London, Paris and Amsterdam, 20 be RENTED in
l.u of private bills. These will be ready by the ncxi
packet and they will enal1c the country to make
wifhout injury an early provision for the adjusmai,
Of the foreign exchanges by te natural operation OF
rentting It's produce and iis coin similar operatoa
shall recommend 20 the Board in respect TO the do
mes1s exchanges, by an enlarged and Rncdate pur-
chase Of bills of exchange the distant sections OF
the Union
These are the two measures which seem 10 be the
best adapted FOR the present emergency. They are
proposed with the sncesest desire, that they may he
useful, and w.th a clear conviction that nided by the
spirit and intelligence which belongs 10 this eommu-
nifty they will carry il riumphnnuy through ats pre-
sent temporary difficulties. The smest ground Of con-
fdence for others is confidence in ourselves and
have seen this community bear up against caamIties
which would have broken the spirit Of less free and
generous people. have known them surmounf OBJ
sacles far alarming than any now befoeu us; nor
will permit my self to doubt that this city will pre-
serve it's high character before the world by any tenn
porary sacrifices which may be necessary to sustain
lts credit and its fame.
With great respect, yours, &c. N. BIppLE,
President Of the Bank Of the United States.
