MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

" Consulate of the Republic of Mexico,
3, Winchester-buildings, May 20,1847.
" Sir,—l beg to accompany herewith a copy of a
communication received from his Excellency J. M. L.
Mora, Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of her Bri-
tannic Majesty, which is of considerable interest to those
engaged in commercial affairs with the republic of
Mexico.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant.
(Signed) "J. M. MENDOZA.
" Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary to Lloyd's."
" Mexican Legation at the Court of her Britannic
Majesty, London, May 19, 1847.
" The Legation, in the fulfilment of a painful but
severe duty, has determined that you should notify
to the commercial community within the limits of your
Consulate, the following resolutions:—
" Ist. All foreign goods, prohibited by the Mexican
tariff, and introduced into the ports which the Ame-
rican forces at present occupy, shall be seized at the
places where they may be stopped by the Mexican au-
thorities.

" 2d. All goods of free importation into the Mexican
ports, imported through those which the forces of the
United States occupy, run the risk of being confiscated
by the Mexican authorities, or at least that they be
made to pay the duties established by the Mexican
tariff, although it may be proved that the same imposed
by the American tariff may have been discharged.
"In making this notification, you will endeavour to
have it understood, that this is one of the consequences
of the war which has not been in any manner provoked
by the Mexican Republic; and that ever whilst it has
lasted, its authorities have abstained from molesting
in any way foreign commerce, until the American
Government, by the violation of her constitution and
rights, which Mexico has not lost in her misfortunes,
and which belong to every independent nation, has
placed her authorities under the necessity of adopting
measures against the violation of said rights, by the
establishment of the American tariff.

" Offering you the assurances of my consideration and
esteem, &c., &c.

(Signed) " J. M. L. MORA.
" To Senor-General Don Jose M. Mendoza,
Mexican Consul in London."
