The Southwestern Historical Quarterly
towards the Oregon territory is in point of fact intended for
Upper California, perhaps particularly for the Valley of the Sac-
ramento and San Francisco Bay.
I believe also that it is accompanied by Agents of the Gov-
ernment of the United States, and I should mention that it is
confidently said here by persons likely to be well informed, to
exceed 10,000 souls.

My Lord,
In a Despatch No 16 of the 24th Ultimo, I had the honor
to inform Your Lordship of the acceptance by the Congress of
Texas, assembled in extra Session, of the terms of Annexation
proposed by the Government of the United States. I also. in-
formed Your Lordship that the Congress had passed a Joint
Resolution, authorizing the introduction of United States' troops
into Texas. Of this Joint Resolution I am now enabled to en-
close a copy, taken from the "National Register" (Government
paper) of the 17th Instant, which has just reached Galveston.
From the same paper I have taken, and enclose herewith a
Copy of-"An Act to establish certain Mail Routes therein
named and for other purposes"4-which I have been given to
understand was passed in deference to the wishes of Major
Donaldson, United States' Charg6 d' Affaires in Texas.-The
object of the Act is evidently to assist the territorial Jurisdiction
,of Texas over the tract of Country lying between the Nueces (sic.)
2Error made by Elliot in copying. The letter is to Bankhead.
