The principle to which his Exceilency assenls that
Mexico, with vain protests on paper could preserve

The undersigned bsQs permission TO express his
greet, that Mexico should reject the friendly propose

Mexico should declare war, ~ she has threatened,
she will herself be the aggressor, and slone respons
BILE for the evils which may follow. Al the same
time, the United States will pursue The policy e
Quired BY their honor and Interest," guided solely by
what is thought 10 be due to themselves and other
nations.
The under igned has reason to congratulate his
country on this correspondence because the world
now see that the United States, in all its
in this matter have conducted themselves with honor
justice and clemency towards Mexico; and that, IN
deierring for 80 long time what other nations who
have acknowledged the Independence Of Texas, have
declared TO be within their rights and suspended the
exercise Of that right until was necessary for their
security, have done more than Mexico could expect
from them The world will al4o know the manner IN
which Mexico has considered the friendly propos
lions Of the United States; and il il should come 10
declaration of war, with all the evils which are :
concomtants, the censure must fall on those who
provoked it,
