British Correspondence Concerning Texas
I take the liberty of forwarding a Newspaper which will place
Your Lordship in possession of all that has transpired respecting
the result of the late attempts to obstruct the Santa F6 traders on
their return to that place from Missouri. Your Lordship will re-
mark that the order to the Texian Officer was dated on the 16th
February last, that is, rather more than a Month before any
prospect of Negotiation presented itself to this Government.
It appears probable that this interference of the Government of
the United States in behalf of the Mexican traders would be
pleaded in support of decided interference in behalf of Texas, in
the event of a resumption of hostilities, and any recurrence of the
incursionary Warfare of last year upon the part of Mexico against
this Country.
Your Lordship's dispatches to No 9 inclusive have been re-
ceived. Charles Elliot.
The Earl of Aberdeen, K. T.
KENNEDY TO ABERDEEN9
Private. British Consulate
My Lord, Galveston, August 29th 1843
In a despatch marked "Private," and dated on the 23rd of the
Month, I expressed a hope that I might "soon be enabled to trans-
mit to Your Lordship a Chart of the Harbour and Sketch of the
Island of Mugeres, off the Yucatan Coast.
Availing myself of the opportunity afforded by Her Majesty's
Sloop of War "Scylla," which sails today from Galveston for Vera,
Cruz, I have the honor to forward a Map of the Island of Mugeres,
with the Survey of the Coast and Harbour made by order of the
Texan Commodore.
I have incurred an outlay of a few dollars in this Matter, which
I propose to include under the head of "Consular Contingencies"
William Kennedy
P. S. The Map transmitted is enclosed in a tin case, and I
have reserved another copy for transmission, should the one now
sent by any accident fail to reach its destination

The Earl of Aberdeen. K. T.9F. 0., Texas, Vol. 7.
