MEXICO, July 6th, 1843. Having known for some time that by means of Robinson, one of the Texian prisoners set at liberty, proposals have been addressed to the Government of Texas which I have received and which might result in the establishment of peace, I advised his Excellency the President, of this circumstance, and he replied to me that he was disposed to receive Texian Commissioners who might be sent to treat on the pro- posed conditions, acceding further to the proposition which I made him, that a declaration of armistice should be made in order to carry on the negotiations. In consequence I informed the Charge d' Affaires of her Majesty in Texas of what had occurred without loss of time, and in consequence of the communication between that gentleman and the government of Texas. President Houston has published a degree 1 [sic], of which I have the honor to enclose a copy, in which he directs that hostilities shall cease forthwith on the frontier of Texas. I have the honor to advise your Excellency that it may be brought to the notice of his Excellency, that he may communicate to me the measures which the said decree, a copy of which is enclosed, may suggest, in order that I may inform the Charge d' Affaires of her Majesty in Texas for the information of her government. I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, your most obedient humble servant. · PERCY W. DOYLE.
