The importance ofthe Texas question at the presenl
period engrosses much conversation at the capitol and
in your metropolis must be The allabsorbiug topic
The apprehensions of difficulty with Great Britain on
this subject are in my opinion, uniounded in the pre-
sent state of affairs Mexico cannot, dare not make
any declaration of war without the appreciation of Grea
Britain, and Great Britain will not be made party to
such movement with France as her opponent John
c. Calhoun, in his letter to Mr. King at Paris check
mated tie English governmenby obtaining concurrence
in his views from .'Guizot, the French Minister
This was mastery movement made at cris is when
England migF have been consideringthe policy Of aid
ing Mexic6 The internal difficulties il mexico might
be supposed by some to aid the policy of Santa Anna
in declaration OF war against this country in order
10 unite his government but such policy would be fatal
10 his power You will remember that originally San
ia Anna professed and evnced the greatest friendship
for our government and admiration for her Institutions
in fact the formation of that Republic was based upon
the principles ofour confederation. Having succeeded
in his views atthat period, and established conteder-
alive government, he fouAd occasion afterwards to
change his views and il then became necessary create
couhteraeing effect by the abuse of this government
and her institutions, which was easily accomplished
through subsidized press under his control The
effect thus produced has compelled his opponents ir
Mexico to openly adopt smilarview and opinions
while secretly they are known to be friendly to th,
adoption and continuance Of confederavive system
similar to ours and which was established whea Sant
Anna came into power No true policy therefore cal
prompt himto make declaration of war against thi
country unite the people Of Mexico, and without tn
approval Of Great Bdtain, he Care not cannot, pursu
such course. A single blow would extend the bounc
aries Of the Uned States to the Pacific Ocean on Il
the west and The Isthmus Of Darien the South; an
thus end all dispute as to Texian annexatien Th
muchyou may depend upon--there will be no war vii
Mexico Or England on 4ie Texan question.
But different far different is the question Of 0tego
as the British government have longing prospectiV
eye to the advantages resulting from the possession
the navgable points Of this territory, and as they hay
secdTda sguatter's position, owing to tie long dela
and suspension Of negotiation it will not be an ca;
matter to remove them without force. The negoti
tions on this subject will soon be brought 10 clos
and then some definite action will take place. but n
a before.
