British Correspondence Concerning Texas
any Negotiation on that subject with the United States." In
addition to these indications, I notice that the Texan Adminis-
tration Journal at Washington intimates-that the late Indian
inroads were stimulated and aided by the Mexican Authorities on
the Rio Grande. From all the Movements, it would not be un-
reasonable to infer, that a case of armed intervention was in
progress.
The departure of General Murphy, Charg6 d'Affaires of the
United States, will, it is announced, take place in a few days, his
successor having been appointed.-According to the information
derived from the private Secretary of the French Charge d'Affaires,

the prospect of accomplishing the Measure of Annexation is still
favourable.
