be taken up, against Texas, during the existing war;
that the Mexican troops should immediately march beyond
the Rio Grande; that all property captured, in
their possession, should be given up, and none taken
without the consent of the owners; and that all Tex.
an prisoners should be immediately released. By the
former it was stipulated, that for the Texan prisoners
released, an equal number of Mexicans should be ex.
changed. There were other conditions of the treaty
not immediately to be made known. This treatywhich
was soon ratified at Velasco, to which place
President Burnet removed with his Cabinet,-so soon
as the conditions of it now specified were published,
met with very great and general opposition in Texas,
on the ground, first, that Santa Anna deserved death;
and, secondly, that no reliance could be placed upon
the fulfilment of the treaty on his part. And when, on
the 1st of June, another important part of the treaty
was about to be executed in the release of Santa Anna,
the popular excitement became very great. Santa An.
na, however, had embarked on board the schooner Invincible
for Vera Cruz. Two Commissioners, Zavala
and Hardiman, had been appointed to accompany him,
from whose high character and talents the most impor.
tant results were expected. But just as the Commis.
sioners were about to embark, on the morning of the
3d, a company of volunteers arrived from New Or.
leans. They were much excited against Santa Anna,
and strongly opposed to his release. This opposition,
together with that of the people of the surrounding
country, induced the Executive, on the morning of the
4th, to order the debarkation of Santa Anna.
