very considerate regard to that state of things in the negociations

The release of the Texian prisoners in Mexico would have the
effect of allaying angry feeling, and strengthening the influence
of this Government for the attainment of its wise and moderate

belief that General Santa Aia will fully avail himself of any
becoming opportunity of reconciling his own personal and gen-
erous impulses toward these Prisoners, with the dictates of sound
Policy, and a just consideration for the situation and wishes of
this Government.
