Paginated and printed in two columns, pp. 249-264. This issue contains a report on the victory of the Texian Army at San Jacinto, the effective end of the Texas Revolution, in the second column on page 258. It reads, in part:
"Gen. Houston, who is said to be in bad health, accompanied by a number of Texian officers, arrived at New Orleans on the 23d ult. He brings official information of the capture of Santa Ana, and also of the battle of the 21st of April. According to a statement in the True American Santa Ana was at Velasco under a strong guard, and had offered an armistice, which had been refused. It is also said that he had made further offers to acknowledge the independence of Texas, making the Rio Grande the boundary, and remaining a hostage until the United States government should consent to guaranty the treaty, and it be approved of by the senate of Mexico...Texas was considered safe, and the war at an end, as the Mexican army would probably be totally destroyed. General Santa Ana has presented to gen. Houston his cane and saddle."
