our country all the calamities BY which
it is followed. In the United States.
our ancient ally, expeditions are now
organized similar to that headed By
the traitor Jose Antonio Mejia, and
some have even set out for Texas.
They have been furnished with every
kind ofamn1unition, by means Of which
the revolted colonies are enabled to re-
sist and fight the nation from which
they never have received but immense
gratuitous benefits. The Government
is also positively informed that these
acts, condemned by the wisdom Of the
laws Of the United States, are also re-
ported to the General Governments
with which the bes. intelligence and
the greatest harmony still prevail.
However, as these Adventures have
succeeded in escaping the penalties
inflicted by the laws Of their own coun-
try, it becomes necessary to adopt
measures for their punishment. His
Excellency the President dd interim,
anxious to repress these aggressionsy
which constitute not only an offence ID
the sovereignty Of the Mexican nation,
but also to an evident violation Of id :
terhational laws, 90 they are generally
adopted, has ordered the following d6s
