NATIONAL PALACE,


Mexico, April 2, lS45


The undersigned, Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions, has the honor to communicate to His
Excellency Mr.. Shannon, Minister, sc. &c., in
reply to the note of His Excellency of the Slst
March, that the Government of Mexico can
not continue diplomatic relations with the L.
States upon the presumption that such rela-
tions are reconcileabe with the law which the
President of the United States has approved in
regard to the annexation of the department of
Texas to the American Union: that this deter
mination is founded upon the necessity which
Mexico is under of maintaining no friendship
with Republic which has violated her oblga-
tions, usurped portion of territory which be-
longs to Mexico by a right which she will main
tain at whatever cost; that the relations be-
tween the two countries cannot be re-establsh-
cd before complete reparaton of that injury,
LagraUlol such as is demanded by good faith,
justice TO Mexico, and the honor of the United
States, is made.
Moreover, the undersigned will take the IL
berty to say to his Excellency Mr.. Shannon,
that if the United States Government thinks
that it entertained friendly sentiments towards
Mexico at the time of giving such offence, and
when attacking the integrity of the Republic
of Mexico, this Government (Mexico) is very
far from entertaining the same views, or of ac-
quiescing in the assurances which his Excellen-
cy Mr.. Shannon has given, whatever may be
its sentiments towards his Excelency person.
ally.


The Undersigned, in making this announce
ment to his Excellency Mr.. Shannon, doing so
by the order of the President of Mexico-cut-
ting short new discussion which the Interrupt
ton OF the relations Of the two countries will
not permit, and because nothing can be added
to what this Department has already said-has
the honor to renew the assurances of his very
distinguished considerations.
