Nj Adams commenced by reading the
letter addressed to the Globe by M A. Y.
Brown in March last; which is substan-
TALLY as follow s-that he had seen with re.
gret Mr. Wpbster's recent letter on the an
nexation of Texas, and having in his pos
session private communication from ano.
Their distinguished citizen written more
than year previous, he felt impelied tc
give it a Publicity which heretofore he ha
not thought proper to do.

the condensed statements which we are
obliged to abbroyiate of their literary dec.
orations
He afirms his attention to have been
called 10 this sub; -ct during his Presidency
by Mr. Erwin (Ersing) former Minister to
the Spanish Court who stated that he had
formed tbs base Of Treaty recognising the
Rio Grande as the western boundary OF our
Territory. That he applied to our Gov
eminent for tho neediu instructions TO
complete the adjustment but instead of y
grant of authority the diplomatic inter
course was transferred from Madrid TO
Washington, where Treaty was signed
and ratified fixing the Sabine, instead as the
limitary stream. He continues: "hnd;ng
THESE stutunvnt- $500 us-a flnd .rith ns-

the ancient Romans never to ALLEVIATE but
always to add 10 the boundary compass he
instantaneously opened negotiations with
Mexico for a retrocession OF the bartered
territory which he must ever regret" did
not accomplish It's objects. The remainder
of this document is taken up with specula-
tons upon the importance of this tract in a
military point Of aspect and has an impor.
lance only as afIording melancholy proof
that unquestioned genius for war must par
take of the infirmity with which time visits
the physical organization. We give Mr.
Adams comments il his own arrangement:

You see that his correspondent, Mr.
Brown, was not mistaken IN supposng tina.

interesting subject; that IL occupied much
OF his attention during his Presidency, and
had lost none oil its Importance by what
had since transpired.
And now comes the pith and splnai mar

in 1923 IT was made known to him by Mr.
Eypin, formerly our MINISTER at the Court
