Having reference to Iny despatch No 7 of this year, mentioning
that the Government of Texas has levied discriminating duties on
the trade from the United States, in consequence of the failure of
the treaty of Commerce, I have now the honor to report that the
Government of the United States by Treasury order dated on the

liberty of repairing to this place, chiefly for better advice and con-
enience than I can find in Texas for an instant, [having] fallen
into a very weak state of health.
