FRENCH AND ENGLISH RELATIONS.

with France and England were not on a much better footing; for both had offended them by acknowledging the independence of Texas, and assisting her with means, the latter making herself besides obnoxious by pressing for the fulfilment of pecuniary obligations.[1]

  1. Fresh claims for injury to English residents were accumulating. At a public ball an English flag, taken from the Texans, had been exhibited as a trophy, notwithstanding the protest of the minister, and the latter had also offended by transmitting a letter from Texas, unwittingly it was claimed, containing an offer of five millions for the recognition of that state, with a bribe for the minister who could manage to pass the project. Santa Anna's virtuous indignation at the proposal was manifested in Diario Gob., xxii. no. 2433; Bustamante, Hist. Santa Anna, 41-2, 240. Thompson justly scouts the supposed influence of England in Mexico. Recoll. Mex., 236-8. The Belize boundary was also a cause for trouble. The commission appointed in 1830 for determining the line had been unable to attend to the task, owing to the Yucatan war. Méx., Mem. Rel., 1840, 2; Soc. Mex. Geog., Bolet., iii. 239 The French had been offended by steps taken against their consul at Vera Cruz for corresponding with Yucatec rebels. A treaty of commerce with the Hanseatic towns was effected on June 27, 1842. Dublan and Lozano, Leg. Мех., iv. 227.
