KENNEDY TO ABERDEEN6
Private. British Consulate.
Galveston August 23rd 1843
My Lord,
I have the honor to enclose a printed translation of the Land
Law of the Mexican State of Yucatan, referred to in my despatch
marked "Private" and dated the 6th Instant.
I hope soon to be enabled to transmit a Chbart of the Harbour
and Sketch of the Island of Mugeres, off the Yucatan Coast.
Information has been brought by the Texan War Vessels lately
employed in aiding Yucatan, that the Government of that State
had granted to American officers and Seamen, in their Service,
the privilege of settling a, certain portion of Vacant public land, and
that the said officers and Seamen were making preparations,-when
the Texan Vessels left Campeche-"to visit the island of Cozumel,
and locate their Claims upon it."
William Kennedy.
The Earl of Aberdeen, K. T.
ELLTOTT TO ABERDEEN7
No. 248 Galveston August 23r. 1843
My Lord,
I avail myself of a short delay in the departure of the Steam
Boat to New Orleans to report the return (last Evening) of the
'Texian Custom House Vessel which took back to Matamoros the
Mexican Officer who had brought in General Woll's dispatches of
the 16th Ultimo to this Government
Mr. I'. L. Giffard Her Majesty's Vice Consul at Matamoros went
down from here to that place in the same vessel, and I learn by a
Note from him dated on the 14th Instant that General Woll had
assured him He would use his best efforts to induce the President
of Mexico to release the remainder of the Texian prisoners. It
does not appear to be determined whether the Commissioners for
the arrangement of the Armistice are to meet at Laredo or at
Matamoros, but it is probable that Matamoros may be preferred.
'They would meet about the 25th of next Month
