dusly declared that Texas had all the independence
II ever had, not through any ability of herself to
cope with Mexico, but through the aid directly
and indirectly of the citizens and government of
the United States This fact has been invariably
denied by the government at Washington. A full
confession is now made, however, by the deem
ing $1,000 volunteers requisite TO protect Texas
against Mexico at this day!-more than half the
whole population of Texas at this hour and bet
ter than double the number of men, women chill
dren and negroes in the territory in S5, when the
revolution broke out.
Mexican courage is thus found to be at a pre-
MUM, on account Of her present show of resist
ance. She has long hesitated; the Rubcon is
now passed; her sons begin to feel the necessity
for unity, and this persevered in, will enable her
to give good account of the invasion threatened
her
| informed your readers some time ago that adj
vances upon Texas, before annexation, were not
made by Mexico, for the reason that Texas was
desired by her to be barrier between her own
States and those of the United States; and that II
was not acknowledged, because IT was believed
by her that such acknowledgment would be
made a plea for the annexation. Her govern
ment did not believe it possible the United States
would leap the barrier of treaties, and annex
Texas in her despite; far less could her govern
ment expect the government OF the United States
would follow up that act with the worse one of at
tempting TO seize upon great portion of the State
of Tamaulipas basing the seizure upon the pre-
tensions of men who forsook their own nation,
and by an oath of fealty, bound themselves, in
for that which, by an oath of fealty, they were
bound to defend.
If these proceedings are deemed legitimate, I'M
der a treaty of amity, Mexico declares again, no
treaty with the United States, without the special
guaranty of other powers, will be of any avail to
avertfrom her the selfish interests upheld by them
to her prejudice for many years past. The neces-
sty for sclfdefence is and has been, forced upon
her; and if she has not taken all the advantages
which the position of General Taylor evidently af-
forded, will be found to be the result Of the pre-
sent situation OF the republic and her govern
ment, and hesitation to compGcate national diff
terences.
In the meantime, I take this opportunity of
coolly telling the government of Washington, and
the readers Of the Herald in particular, that the
10000 600 dollars recently voted, and the $4,000
volunteers called into requisitlon, will turn out SO
much lost treasure and risk of life. They will not
be effective in coercng settlement. Make the
first So 600 900 and the second 100 600, and the OBJ
ject will still be no nearer completion Justice is
on the side of Mexico; and against justice, defend
ed on a nations own ground, brute force will
avail little to subjugate determined resistance.
p. S.-The government Of Washington might
very gracefully, in the present juncture, approach
Mexico through the ENJOYS of foreign States here
resident. .
