right OF Mexico to prohibit any particular course
OF trade, to the citizens subjects of foreign pow

that the same spirit OF Justice will influence its
councils IN arriving at an early decision upon the
remaining claims thereby removing all cause of

the Government has been eXerted to preserve them |
at peace among themselves, and 10 inspire them
with feelings OF confidence in the Justice of this I
Government, and TO cultivate friendship with the
border inhabitants. This has happily succeeded /
to great extent; but it is subject of regret that
