HIS CHANGES OF FILLIBUsTERIsM Against OUR GOV
ERNxENT REFUTED.
We were visited yesterday by Mr. Thomas Lubbock, Of
Houston Texas, who called for the p pose of correcting
msstatements which made ia the letter Gen
Almonte, the Mexican Minister q. Washington, xpana
tory of the Of Gen. Santa Anna In this letter
which published in the HERALD the 10th Of Octo
ber he complains Of government having permitted
the ganizstsn of volunteer forces the United State
or the express pose Of extending the limits of Texas
ven after its annexation and a proof Of this he give
the of the officers and com posing a company
called the Texas New Orean, Volunteer Grays which
he says, allowed to depart for Texas 1885, in d
rect violation of the proclamation of Governor White
Louisiana The following is the statement of General
Amonte, the truth Ct which is denied by Mr. Lubbock
one Of the members OF the company allude TO- and who
is well acquainted with all the circumstances
1.-THE President will thus perceive that Mexico fought
in Texas before the annexation OF by the volun
teer rec which, after the annexation of it employed

volunteer FORCE after combating Mexico, being re-
leased of governmental command BY the in mentality

mant, are simply as follows:-The COMPANY emierated
from the United States in 1885, and did NOT as Almonte

bad no right to interfere with their movements when
