As 10 the preparation which Mexico is making for
the invasion Of Texas we can learn very little of def

our personal intormants and correspondents seem to
question whether the conquest Of Texas be the object in
view There would seem to be but one other, and that
is plainly indicated in some OF letters TO mako
Santa Anna dictator. But this is subject on which
shall not long be LETT in the dark.
