After spending a few days, they were joined by Benjamin Hawkins, quadroon Creek, who had re- gently emigrated from the Creek Nation on the Arkansas river. to Texas.

 ssFrom Nacogdoches they commenced a trip of exploration towards the sources Of the Sabine and Trinity rivers, where 1t seems they were much pleased with the country, and concluded to possess 1t, If possible.

Felasola, by the Mexican Govern ment on certain conditions, none of which have been complied with on his part, and of course 1t IS now void.

Bean, a wish to set tie in Texas, when they were promptly as- sured 1t could not be done, as 1t was con- trary to the relations and treaties existing between the two Republics. Not satisfied with the assurances of Col. Bean to the contrary of their wishes, they by means oi Hawkins, opened negotiation with cer- tain captain Archibald Hotchkiss, Agent oi the New York Company, who are engaged in colonizlng the grants made to Burnett,
