Sr-I had the honor, in due tue 10 receive the note
addressed 10 me by you The fifth instant in reply 10
mine Of the 3D. respecting the desire The part Of the
Mexican Republic that all the complaints, claims, and
differences pending between il and the United States,
not comprelende1 in the convention which we have
this day signed should be submitted 10 The decision 81

you were pleased say to me IN the official conferences
between US during the negotiation OF The said conVen
ton 10 witt "That in the npinon OF The PRESIDENT those
causes of complaint which directly affect the national
character do not admit of compromise. You are pleased
10 add that my above cited note should be submitted To

BILE and that, although his excelency enterrans The
most perfect confidence in the honor and Judgment his
Prusslan Majesty and the mcst earnest desire TO re esa
bllsh harmony in the relations between the U. D AND
Mexico yet iii is not probable that any other mode OF
adjusting those questions other ihon that which you
had surGesed in our conversations, would be admitted
Although no hope is left after this that the President
will accede TO the desire manifested with The most SIM
cere intentions by Mexico even at the expense OF Inc
n,ncinles which she has maintained, ord which she
considers as confomable with public and international
law } still cannot refrain from troubling you with

President may determine upon The subject oil my SAID
note. as think that ought 10 inform my Government
Of by the courier who carries the convention Tor
its examination and ratification. While awaiting the
notice Of this resolution will take the liberty 10 ask you
whether or not am mistaken in the belief that The
causes ofcomplant which The Preside said negative
relates are those numbered 49, a. 49, So 81 and 55 in
the list nj By YOU under the letter A. with your report

ration or publication, employment Of his defamaOry
pamphlet.
Finally have TO request that you will tell me whe.
Their or no, deceived in supposing that the United
States will abstain from sending TO Mexico the dipo
matte agent whom they have appointed, while any OF
those complaints remain unsalisfed Ny duty, and my
desire not commit which may excite the public
mind and TO avoid misunderstanding which may con.
yer, into evil negotiation undertaken solely for good
purposes may possibly render me loo Troublesome TO
