The U. S. Vessel of War "Porpoise" sailed from Pensacola a
few days since, ostensibly to Haiti, but it has occurred to me that
her destination may have been Chagres, with instructions to the
American Naval force in the Pacific.

My Lord,
In my despatches from Texas in the early part of 1845 I had
the honour to communicate to Your Lordship the general scope
of a strange and dangerous plot against Mexico which it was hoped
to set on foot through the Government and Legislature of Texas.
A main feature of that scheme, Your Lordship will perhaps
remember, was to induce the removed Indians on the Western
frontier of the United States (Cherokee and other tribes) by
bribes of land in the outlying Mexican regions legislatively ap-
propriated by Texas, to press on into New Mexico; and thence
into California; following up that movement with other emigra-
tion as circumstances and policy might suggest.
