MANlFESTO,
| addressed by has ErceYency The Captain Gene
rat and superior Girl Grief 10 the inhabit-
! ants, through The medium oj'he Governor, IN
| te'idanf and Political Head of This Province.
On the evening of this day | begin nv
march towards the city of Cordova, with a
view othaving therein an interview with Sig
nor Don Augus;in Iturbide, principal chief Of
the imperial army, upon the three guarantees.
Let us treat therein of the reciprocal interests
ot both SPANS My attachment To the Anne
rIcans, the love of my country, the desire
winch animates me forpublic good, and the
rectItude oil my intentions, flatter myself are
already well known, and that the public will
rest persuaded, on the preceding suppositions.
that my voyage is Indispensable, as the only
means of insurng the public tranquility and
cementng the felicity of these realms. Before
go consider ii debt that is now demanded
by the affection | owe to the well deserving
citihens OF tins place To take leave ofthem, for
which purpose address myself To your Ex
cellency, assuring them that for my own part
IL should always appear that in no negotiation
mo winch may enter, can the legitimate in
terests OF Spain be compromised, that is 10
say, such which can be claimed without inter
ierinS with those which nature has pointed out
10 every man, and granted the rights of men To
united societies-rhat Il secure guarantee of
Tie persons and fortunes of the Europeans es-
'apiishcd IN New Spain, isonc of the most sd
cred objects which have intended to sustain.
Ghich according to the correspondence with
| me sad Chief, he appears disposed to coin
ciue with my opinion as far as they are natural
and Just that march guaranteed by Ameri-
can honor that there is nothing To- fear for
theiG persons or my own, as little for their in
terests, or that there should be done the SLIGHTEST
| ACT against my character and representation
| tiias warn them as one in authority & emtreat
|
and reports scat;ercdby restless spirits and mo-
vers of eyli, that they make every effort to pre-
serve the public tranquility and respect the au-
llior!:!es that they reposc confidence in their
chieis, and 1t any of them should doubt, from
some rremedlabe fatality, take upon nvse.i
10 convince them that have had much expe-
renee, and do not yield TO them i'm sincere
good wishes-Under which idea the altera-
tons which have not been made need not be
discussed, because they are not in question.
At Is not gwen to every one TO have an intimate
noWiedSe of public aiiairs-Ifi it were posi-
bic that an evening party could investigate
matters like a Council, the measures of 90
yernment would seldom be found TO merit
distrust or criticism
To you, Sgnor Governor, now partcu-
larry coniide, to make known to the public the
contents OF this letter, contributing OH YOUR
part, that what is therein expressed may have
IA proper effect. The want Of time does not
allow me TO address myself directly To those
inhabitants, nor oniciate with the corporate
bodies or authorities. BE pleased, sir, to com.
municate this TO such as may be proper: as
slirins them al! of my gratitude for the kind
reception have met with among them and
that trust that shall have it in my power to
Iccompense their hospitality with more inter-
| esting services.
| vi the Chiefs, Officers and Public Fmc-
tionaries, who have accompanied me from Eu-
rope, few follow me-the most of them re-
main in this place. | ought to acquaint you
SIR, that they are all persons elected by myself
and that they deserve my conhdence-some
1t is absolutely necessary to retainby my side
and some il not indispensable, it is convenient
and all wish, like myself that we should
share the same fate. Under this impression
tnose who do not march to-day, on account
OF their health not allowing them, or other
inequalities, are left mere particularly re-
commended to your exceIlency, that speed Y
march may be made by those in health and
by the sick as fast as they recover, paying
every one their just dues-taking into conside-
ration that this is my order that it is my re-
communication, and that they are remarkable
for their good qualities their excellent deserts,
and in consideration of their want of means,
occasioned by the expenses of the voyage,
which should be attended TO, and for which
they shall be reimbursed. God preserve your
eXceIlency many years.

Governor and Civil chief If this place.
