[ Ter TO bis Minister or Foreign Relations,
written after the interview which he had
with Mr.. G. L. Thompson. the recent
special agent OF the Uniied States ID
Mexico and also a long Correspondence
between M. Bocanegras the Mexican
Minister Of Foreign RELIGIONS, and Mr..
Green. our Charge d'Hlfaires, on the
subject Of the Annexation Of Texas 10 the
United States
(. The views and intentions Of Mexico
relative 70 Texas may be inferred from
Santa Anha's letter, Of which the follows
ling an extract.
The PfesideDtof the United States. in
my opinion, has not acted very properly
10 treating Of The annexation Of Texas
With ITS actual possessot., because The
| Iajority Of these, being but portion of
fhe American commanity, although with
/ the name Of Texas. have 40 right 10 enter
! mo Treaty for 3 Territory which does, not
bslcog TO them, That Mexiao being re-
solved TO suslain~her rights without ever
yielding thems because she considers
them uAquesiiona able, thinks ihe-1pfoposi-
ton made on the part Of The Americans
to be inaduiissabls. and renounees all idea
of ceding. her territory. That Mexico il
resolved again 20 undertake vigorously
ths campaign against. Texas. Tor which
she holds 10 readiness. a large army with
ali The necessary resources which The
peace she bad lately enjoyed, and 70
general prosperity OF The country had en-.
abled her.to obtain. Tbatif she tas not
proceeded to open the campaign during
the pFesen. year, i: is because she has
oesn awaiting the result Of the srmis,ice
agreed upon, in order 10 treat tof The ter
m'na'ion Of The actual war. Tbatif the
Uniled States desire in good faiiffs. to ar
