collected from your Correspondence how important you felt it to
be that an armistice should be granted, and even intimated that a
large party in Texas with a view of doing what they thought best
for them at the present moment might accept General Santa Afia's
proposition, I felt it my duty to accept the offer He made and
acquainted him that I would write to you on this Matter without
loss of time.
I have by the last packet informed Lord Aberdeen of what has
taken place.

Thinking it possible that Her Majesty's Sloop "Scylla" may catch
the Mail of the 29th at Vera Cruz, I have the honor to forward by

But as it seems probable that my Communication through the
United States will reach England before the Mail from Mexico I
shall transmit the Correspondence connected with this Affair
through the usual channel.
