Copy of 3P* Robertson's Consul at Tampico, addressed to this Legation. Consulate of the U. States Tampico Jany 14 1836 Sir, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your official com- munication of the 30th ulto.--the enclosed list will show how many of those designated on the former list had become citizens of the U. States. It appears that all those who have been arrested as auxiliaries to Gen. Mexia are yet confined in prison. What their fate will be is not yet known The unfortunate foreigners never had a legal trial, their mere depositions were taken, and it is ascertained-that some days previous to finishing their depositions orders were received to shoot them. By an arrival yesterday from New Orleans we have an of- ficial account of the fall of Bexar--that many armed vessels had left for Texas, but supposed to be armed merely for their own defence. The latest dates from Europe is to the 12 November from London, which states that Ir Barton had asked for his pass- port and received it. et c-- "etc, Geo. R. Robertson
