ec OF Texas Ii concludes with assurance that shall
be informed al the earliest of the decision of the
council, to whom the matter had been submitted.
You Will observe that this addressed in
my official capacity the omission do certainly
the proper course TO in relation this
unimportant in ITSELF but without signicancy when
taken in connexion with other circumstances Your in
structions direct TO bear and forbear pur-
pose OF promoting the great objects of my mission"
In conclusion then, how stands the respect to
Taylors suggestion and approval of the march of
the army to the Rio Grande' On the 4th of October,
ls45, General Taylor-knowing that the administration
were determined to protect Texas up to the Rio Grande-
knowing, too that he to avoid all acts which could
justify notwithstanding, also, that diplomatic rela-
tons between the countries had been broken off,
and knowing, lastly, that Mexico threatening and
preparing invasion of TexasGeneral Taylor, under
these circumstances, advised forward movement of his
troops to the Rio Grande This advice the admnstra-
hon by reason OF information then in its possession did
not deem expodient to be then at once acted on
On the 18th of November following, General Taylor
learned that Mexico had consented a negotiation, and
at the same time, received information which led him to
believe that she had suspended abandoned her purpose
Of invasion. He thereupon informed the government
that he should moi advance to the Rio Grande he had
proposed to do, until he should receive further nstruc-
tons In this conclusion, formed in view OF the pending
negotiation, the administration concurred with General
Taylor.
But on the 18th of December Mr. Sidel informed the
government that in all probability, has mission of peace
must fail by the refusal of the Mexican government to
receive him or to entertain his propositions This nfor
nation reached Washington before the 18th OF January
When received, removed all the grounds upon which
General Taylor had founded the change of his opinions
as to the expedency of the forward movement of the
troops The failure of MIR. SldePs mission, and the
Mexican revolution out of which CREW. brought about
state of things which demanded the forward movement
of our troops far more imperativey than when it was
first recommended by General Taylor He had advised
it, both with the view of protecting Texas, and of produ
cling saluary effect upon the Mexican government
After the rejection of Mr. Sidel it became manifest
that neither of these great objects could be accomplished
without such movement. The movement was there
fore made in pursuance of orders issued by the War De-
partment on the 18th of January These orders were
plainly conceived in the spirit and upon the same
policy. in which General Taylor gave his original
mendation.
