any reference to the Injurious epithets of his Excel
lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs He proceeds
to deny that the government OF the United States
IN his communication before alluded To, directly OF
indirectly, that Mexico was the legitimate superior
OF Texas, nor that 1t merlted, as such, any expa-
nation or apology The independence OF Texas
having been acknowledged not only by the United
Sta'es, but also by the principal powers of the
world, the majority Of which have established di.
pomatic relations with that territory, it must be
considered as an independent and sovereign power
competent to treat lor itself, precisely as don.
by the Mexican authorities, who power Texas
has resisted with coed success for the period OF
eight years; the Uu,ed States are under no obga.
ton, therefore, TO regard its previous relations with
this country. But, Notwithstanding, the Govern
ment Of ,he United States has deemed il convent
ent to manifest to Mexico, in the most friendly and
sincere manner, the motives for its conduct, be.
canss il looked upon Mexico as worthy of thai
consideration, not as pOssessor of Texas either de
taCt0 or de 1urs, but az neghbor Of Texas and 81
the United States, and as a member of the famil,
of American Republics


He expresses his surprise, that Mexico should again
reiterate ITS unfounded protests against the conduc
which the Government of the United Stat g though
proper to adopt regarding the Republic of Texas
and more especially, that should direct these pro.
rests to these same nations as have acknowledged
the Independence of Texas, and have for long
time denied 10 Mexico any rights in the matter.
The principle to which his ExceIency assents, thai
Mexico, with vain protests on paper could preserve
their rights to the territory OF Texas when the
facts are notorious that Texas has declared and
maintained her Independence for so many years,
and that during all this time Mexico could not
conquer IL, and, finally, that for that objects he has
dlscontnne all efforts, is truly new and extraord
nary, With the same preteM Mexico might say
that its empire is the world, and its subjects the dit
ferent nations by which the world Is propled, and
claim that its tights may be acknowledge.


In conclusion this gentleman says that if Mexic,
should declare war, she has threatened she will
herself be the aggressor, and alone responsible fo
the evils which may follow. At the same time
the United Staes will pursue the policy required
by their honor and interest, guided solely by what
IS thought to be due to themselves and o;her ma.
lions and that Mexico alone must be answerabh
for all the evils which are its concomitanis; iii,
censure must fall on those who provoked IL.
