 cise the authority undertaken by them, have formally and solemnly agreed with Brevet Major Gen- 
 eral David E. Twiggs, United States Army, Commanding the Department of Texas, that the troops 
 of The United States shall leave the soil of The Stale, by the way of the coast ; that they shall 
 take witli tliem the mtims of the respective corps, including the battery of light artillery at Fort 
 Duncan, and tlu' batti-rv of the same character at Fort Brown ; and shall bo allowed the necessary 
 means for regular and comfortable movement, provisions, tents, etc., etc., and transportation. 
 
 It is the desire of the Commission that there shall be no infraction of tiiis agreement on the

 troops, will be turned over to agents, to be appointed by the Commission, who will give due and 
 jiroper receipts for tlie whole to the OlBcers of the Army, whom they relieve from the custody of 
 the public property.
