how that the French legations in Texas and
Mexico received the same instructions as The
british, and lha, the instructions Of the French
Cabinet 10 their diplomatic agent in Texas
passed through The hands 81 Lord Aberdeen.
We make few extracts from the letter OF Mr..
Walsh. His views merit the attention of every
American patriot.
