S. F AusTIN Esq. • J\,fy DEAR Sm, Your welcome favour of the 12th Nov. came to hand last .week. it was no doubt delayed owing to the Suspension and disorder of our mail arrangements; I regret that my time is so much taken up at this moment as to deprive me of the pleasure I would have in replying fully to your interesting letter, but as our correspondence will become more regular in future, I will find leisure to enter upon details. Chambers I consider has treated me ill not having replied to any of my letters Since he received his books; nor has he paid even to my correspondents in N. orleans their -value as he promised to do when he gave the order.· With the plan : of zavaleta, hostilities have ceased; but the amalgam I £ear will, not give us a permanent peace; all appears to be quiet but not solid; Some of the States, will not Subscribe to the plan, others have; Genl. Pedraza is however of opinion, that all will go right; my opinion is that the 4th of april next will not pass by without, a noise In relation to the 11th Arto, of the law of the 6th of april 1830; there are thousands here who are ·interested in its repeal. • Strong remonstrances will therefore be made; and the Executive is Strongly indisposed against the Said law, and in order to prepare the way for its repeal I will manouvre with the liberal presses, and if I have time will translate and have published, Some paragraphs of your letter, as written by a Tewano. I Sometimes dabble in poli- •tics; but my commercial occupations rarely· give me time to think of any thing else but business While you remain in the country, write me and When in the U. S. I hope to hear from you; I will Send you Some of the most interesting Numbers of the Phoenix. · The Registro is dead; The friends of the constitut_ion a_re trying to revive it. W. S. PARROTT [Rubric] (P. S.) Genl J'viexia Sends you his remembrance We will work together for the repeal of the law in question. GenL Filasola goes to Texas as comandant gral. he is interested in the peopling of Texas He has a grant near the red river abot which we have bad several conversations He will go to Matamoras by land from thence by water to Matagorda and Galveston
