The country of France built a beautiful Embassy in the new capitol of Austin while Great Britten had their embassy in a suite of rooms in the nicest hotel in the old capitol of Houston.

Actually, the battle ended after the Mexicans sounded retreat.
What happened was that the Mexicans who broke into the Alamo shot all the defenders and a few other people. When resistance ended, however, the fighting did not. The problem was that the Mexican soldiers were fighting without their coats, so they would be unencumbered by them, and so were not easy to identfy; it was dark; and many men misidentified Mexican soldiers as the enemy and shot them. Finally, a retreat was sounded, and after about fifteen minutes of further fighting among the victors, the battle ended.
