the mercy of all nations. France has claims against her
the payment of which she will insist on at the point oil
the bayonet has the United States. Texas has CO

favorable opportunity will possess herself of them. Her

We have been favored with the perusa of letter from

letter had every opportunity of correct information and
that whatever he says is entitled 10 the most explicit
confidence.
1t is stated that the most friendly dispositions were
evinced by the British Government towards Texas.
That the delay in recognizing has resulted mainly from
the out breaking of the Canadian revolution Another
