pRocLAMATION.

The President pro TEN. Of tie RepSbiic, q
the Warriors Of he Merican Army, 4c.
Mexico, May 18th.
Soldiers One Of the events very fre-
quent in war, has placed in the power Of the
enemy to our independence, the heroic con-
queror Of Tampico, the president ofthe re-
public your general in chief, the idol Of our
hearts, The immortal Santa Anna.
Excited by the ardOr Of glory, and a vehe'
ment desire to terminate the campaign BY
single blow, his excellency escorted i
petty force Of the army which remains un-
touched; and this force having been beaten
by superior numbers, this iIlustrious genius.
whose exploits form the most brilliant page
Of our history, has lost his owR liberty, IN
endeavoring to secure that ofhis country.
Our mourning has commenced! Tho
fatal day ofthe 2lst of April, and that which
followed, are signals for vengence u az
Mexican hearts. Soldiers our grief IS
boundless, but it will not be unayaillng.
For tho liberty Of the president, and for the
honor ofthe nation, the governma will raise
all possible resources: theywil be immense;
and my desire is to employ them without
restriction; for ! know my duty, and Will
fulfil il.
Wo to the enemies Of our country! the
foreign enemy shall be vanquished, and the
domestic exemplarily punished, if any such
in this sacred war Of the country, shall dare
assist the criminal ambition Of the Texan
rebels.
Friends a m0mentary adversely should
not discourage you in the constant protection
Of our rights.
Soldiers! you have proved the yicissltudes
Of fortune, 10 leave the world tho remem-
brance Of virtue, honor and courage, and
whilst you invoke the Providence who rules
the destiny Of nations, march, to avengO
vour God--your country and your pEesl-
dent! JOSE JUSTO CORRO.
