British Correspondence Concerning Texas
through the Admiral) I have heard a report which I think it
proper to mention to Your Lordship.
It comes to me from a Merchant of great respectability here,
and directly to him from a person closely connected with Mexico,
and he thinks, likely to be accurately informed
My informant states his belief that letters of Marque have
been for some time actually in Rio Janeiro, Havana, and other
ports in various parts of the World, ready to be issued by the
Mexican Consuls, as soon as they shall know of the commence-
ment of hostilities between the United States and Mexico. I
have no means of Judging of the truth of this statement, but
Your Lordship will no doubt know what degree of credit should
be attached to it. The Gentleman who mentioned the report to
me thinks that an early rupture is inevitable, founding his opin-
ion chiefly on the difficulty of restraining the American force in
Western Texas.
