warm correspondence has been carried on between
the Mexican Minister and our Charge d 'Affaires.

ing Informed the General Government of the arriv-
NJ at that port of the. American Squadron, under
the. command of Commodore Colnor, Senior Bo-
saaegya, The Munster OF Foreign Affairs had adj
dressed note TO MIR. Green, at the legation, de-
ianding, in the nnu,e Of the sPresidcnt, IL the app
pearance OF tlIs armament, and the appoach OF a
military force TO the Texan frontier Indicated an
intention the part OF the United States Govern

can troops If the latter should enter Texas with
the, view Of re-ac9uiring it. In such case Mexi-

ter what he calls, such outrage, and tho violent
rapture Of amicabte relations with the Mexican
Republics. Il Is ~ q sgS
