I recd yours advising me in relation lo the Horse. I have no us!'! for him now, advise therefore that he be not sent al present- All here is in a train for peace, the war and space eating parties arc entirely put down, & are preparing lo leave the country. They should now be demanded of their respective chiefs-a few al a time-first Johnson, WiUiamson, Travis, & Williams.-and perhaps that is enough. Capt Martin once revolutionary, is now, thank God, where he should be, in favor of peace and his duty. And by his influences in a good degree has peace been restored. But soon they should be demanded.- the moment is auspicious.- The people are up. Say so and oblidge one who will never forget his time allegiance to Lhe Supreme authorities of the Nation and who knows that Lill they arc dcalth with. Texas will never be at quiet, Travis is in a peck of troubles. Dr J. B. l\'liUer disclaims his act in taking [illegible I and he feels the breach Dr. Loranzo de Zavala is now in Columbia attempting Lo arouse &c. have him called for and he also will be delivered up Williams, Johnson & Baker are now on a visit to him, and no doubt conspiring against the Government. Fail not to move in this matter; and there quickly, as now is the time
