The chief object of the expedition
now being fitted out against Texas is
believed to be the breaking up of the
trade which is now said to be carried
on quite extensively between the
South and Mexico, and thence from
the latter country to Europe. In do
ing this we shall be likely to tread on
the toes ofour neutral friend, John
Bull but then his toes should not be
there, and he will only have himself
to blame should any unlocked for
event happen. That the expedition
will be success is as certain as any
future event can be, as the prepare
tions are such as to admit 70 no such
thing as failure.
