THE AUSTIN PAPERS 671 should like to be here when you make your visit this way, but do not think you will be able to accomplish it, for several years yet. The European powers are striving hard to prevent a general war on the .continent, and it looks at present as if they wood succeed but it yet remains doubtful. The Poles fight desperately but must be overpowered and subdued by the Russians unless assisted by some European power, o:f which there appears no indication at present. The Gen' who went to Spain from the :Mexican Government for the purpose of forming, or proposing a Treaty between the two coun- tries had had an interview with the King, and by the last accounts taken his passage at Bordeaux for Vera Vruz, where it is supposed he is about this time, with the Kings answer, and terms, on which he is willing to accede to, to lay before his Govt which are thought to be so favorable that a Treaty will soon be concluded. I understand that it is probable one of the Ports of Mexico will be declared a free port ere long. Please remember me particularly to Mr. and Mrs. Perry who I presume are with you. •I hope to receive a letter from you soon telling me you returned safe in May last, and your health much improved. .ARcH AusTIN [Rubric] [Addressed:] Col 0 .S.
