When tie undersigned Minister OF Foreign Affairs
and state, had the honor tie list OF July last, to
address hs EXcelency MIR. Waddy Thorn, son, pro-
testing IN the name Of the supreme government

cordng 10 all the intelligence received, it was com
posed Of citizens from the United States introduced
INTO the territory of the republic in character truly
hostile aud that II was M part verified by Mr. Hou>
ton, proclalmIng an armstIce with Mexico, the naiu
raj conclusion being that the Government established
IN Texas had neither organized sustained the

logical, that TO attempt to clucidate it would be 10

HIS Excellency, Mr.. Waddy Thompson, in reply

the 22d of June last he was unaware that any posi-
tive information had been received regarding the res
