The Committee of Foreign Relations, TO
whom WAS referred the message of the Prcsl'

the accompanying documents. on the subject Of
tire present state of reat ions with Mexico, re-.
port
hat they have given iothis. subject that Sc
rlou, and .delIberale consideration which lls.im-
calculated TO Interrupt our friendly relations
with the Mexican Republic would necessarily
insure. From the .document, submitted 10 the
ronpIltee, II appears that, ever since the revolu
ton OF 1922. which separated Mexico from,
Spain, aud even Tor tome years before the Uni
ted Stnes had repeated cause Of Isl complaint
against the Mexican authorities. From time to
une these insults and njuries have occur
red, demand ,-ior satisfaction and redress have
been made BY our succe sslve public ministers al
Mexico but almost all OF these demands have
hitherto proved unavalllng.'
II might have beeh expected that, after the
date OF the treaty OF aniiy, commerce. and nav.
5dilbn concluded between the Two Republic, on
the fifth day OF April one thousand eight hun-
dred and thirty -one, these causes OF complaint
would have ceased ~ exist. That Treaty 50
