SIR: have to address you upon the subject of
those citizens of the United States who were captur-
ed with the Texan expedition to Santa Fe, and who,
as is believed, were not parties to that expedition
far as 1t was military and hostile Mexico it, in fact
hostile invasion of Mexico was among its purposes
but accompanied only as traders tourists travellers
men OF letters or in other characters and capacities
showing them TO be non-combdtdnts; but who never
theless were taken and held prisoners compelled
to undergo incredible hardshipsiD winters march of
thousand miles, and at its end subjected 10 almost
every conceivable degree of indignty and suffering.
BY the law and practice of civilized nations, enc
mIes subjects taken In arms, may be made prisoners
of war but every person found in the train of an ar

tudes of persons follow the march of armies for the

ever, in the Texan expedition to Santa Fe, was
commissioned or enrolled for the military service of

MAINTAIN, with strict fidelity amlcabe relations with
the Mexican Republic and will attempt to screen
from merted punishment any of our citizens who may
beguilty of nracton of the laws intended to pre-
serve those relations, yet that summary, sanguinay
undue punishment Of either Texans or citizens of the
nted States in Mexico, inevitably tends to excite
and foment In this country an acerbty of feeling
against Mexico, which will be much more apt to de-
feat the supposed objects of those pupishmens than if
the offenders 10 have a fair trial and if then
convicted to be punished in some proportion to
their offences You will, however, make this sup-
geslion in conciliatory Tone without allowing it to
be supposed that this Government has any intention
to dictate the policy be adopted by that of the Mexi-
can Republic upon this any other subject but,
supposing their disposition towards the United States
to be amicable wish is merely to point out way
by which, 1t seems to US, that reciprocal dispositions
well as the integrity of the Mexican territory NAV
be more efectuay maintained. Accustomed, curl
selves, to regular Judicial proceedings fair and full
trials, and mid punishments the posltes of these if
exercised by other Governments always serve to check
the growth of amity and good will. The interest
which we feel for Combs whose case has been parti-
cuary presented to us, and for Mr.. Kendall also, will
lead to the despatchlng of this communication in the
way most likely to carry it soon to your hands,

cent circumstances, has been made by the Minister
of the United States at Mexico and you will see the
correspondence between that Minister and the Mexi
can Secretary of State. That correspondence as
you will observe, is principally confined to the case of
Mr.. Kendall.
The Mexican Secretary objects to his release from
confinement, because he united with the invading
enemies of that country, in whose company he was
taken, and under whose protection he was journey
ing and because the entrance of foreigners into
Mexico by the Texan frontier, being prohibited by
Mexican law, even when such foreigners mipht be
travelling alone, the prohibition ought to be more
strict and severe in the of their entering 10y the
side of soldiers coming to invade the country Be-
cause, Also Mr.. Kendall was an agent of the Texans
at least member of the expedition to New
Mexico; IN proof of which passage in the
following words, is quoted from the New Orleans
Picayune of the Dist Of December la t: A Captain
Lewis of the Commissioners, and the other
was Mr.. Kendall, ed tor of the Picayune."
The Secretary proceeds to assert that those who
Join invaders ought to be involved in their fate in re-
spect to such warke measures it may be necessary
to take to repel such INVADERS and that in affairs of
this nature all the Prescriptions are against him who
associates himself with an enemy in whose company
he is made prisoner, whatever his intentions may
have been. The Secretary states further that if Mr.
Kendall was ignorant of the Mexican law referred to,
it is well known not to be allowable plead ignorance
of any law which had properly been made public
But surprising that he was ignorant of the law the
circumstances of his case he argues, such that
lis text could not be literally followed for the penalty
mentioned was intended to apply to or two persons
only, and those without hostile accomplishments, who
might present themselves the frontier and that
the law did not deprive the Mexican Government OF
the right of preservation-a right derived from the
law OF nature and nations. The Secretary then a.!
ludes TO documents in the possession Of his Govern
meni which he says place Mr.. Kendall's conduct IN
more serious light; but those documents neither

OF their respective cases. any of them proper and
suitable time must be allowed but if any of the per-
sons described in the next preceding paragraph and
for whose release you shall have made demand shall
sill be detained for the purpose of further inquiry
otherwise, you will then explicitly demand of the
Mexican Government that they be treated hencefor-
ward with all the enity WHICH, in the most favorable
cases, belongs to the rights of prisoners of war; that
they be not confined in loathsome dungeons with ma
leacOs and persons diseased that they be chain
ed, or subjected to gnomny, to any particular rgor
in their deeniion that they be not obliged to labor
on the public works, or put to any other hardship
y on will state to the Mexican Government that the
Government Of the United States enterains convioA
ton that these persons ought to be set at liberty with
out delay that it will feel great dissatisfaction if it
shall still learn that Mr.. Kendall whose case has al
ready been made the subject of an express demand
and others of equal claims to liberation be not set at
liberty at the time when you receive this despatch
but that if the Government of Mexico insists upon
OBTAINING any of them for further inquiry is due to
the Government Of the United States to it's desire to
preserve peace and harmony with Mexico and to ius-
ice and humanity, that, while detained these per-
sons should enjoy, to the fullest extent the rights
of prisoners of war; and that it expects that a
demand, so just and reasonable,-a demand respect
fully made by one friendly State to another will
meet with immediate compliance. Having made this
demand, you will wait for answer, and if within
ten days you shall not receive that all of
the persons aforementioned who may still be detain
ed will be thenceforward treated in the manner
which has now been insisted upon you will hold no
further official intercourse with it until you shall re-
ceive further directions from your own Government
You will thercupon communicate with this Depart
ment OBTAINING for that purpose the messenger who
carries this. In your communication you will state

stances of each mans case, as they may appear BY
