Our Charge d'Aftalres ad interim IN Mexico, Mr.
Green, we observe, has had another til' al arms II
the diplomatic way with Mr.. Bocanegra. the Mexi
can Minister Of Foreign Affairs. We translate a
paragraph OF Mr. Gs mole
ss The undersigned must be permitted TO add, that
he considers the notes Of his excellency, Mr. Boca
negra under dates of the Both May and 9th june dis
courteous and altogether unwarranted The charges
Of usurpation of atrocy Of bad faith and violation
of treaties frequently repeated by his excellency
the fierce and offensive insnuations, contained IL
the part of his excelleDcy's note which commences
with these words, Experience has confirmed &C.
are as reprehenslble, they gratuitous and un
founded and the undersigned hopes that they will moi
be repeated. He has express orders from his govern
ent, given on a former occasion, but applicable in
the present instance to state to Mexico that he can
hold no communication with her, but in terms Of that
courtesy and respect which due to the honor and
di nifty Of the United States. The undersigned can.
not admit that either he or his government have COM
mitted any offence against Mexico. BY means
that they have done it Intentionally. And neither
does he wish that Mexico should pass in silence
a supposed injury. If Mexico believe that she has
rights over Texas, or that these rights have been
violated, the United States are always disposed and
ready to listen 10 her reclamaons and to render JUS
tce. They are also equally ready to defend their
what pc Mt he may.
The language of representation will ever be at
tended 10 by the American people or Government
But threats and outrages avail but little in altering
their views, when their rights clear, as in the
present case TO treat with Texas an independent
power
MIR Bocanegra replies, sustaining the position Ia
ken by Mexico, and denying the want of courtesy to
the United States. " The treaty of smity, navga-
ton, commerce, &c. between the United States and
Mexico, ratified in 1882, he repeats, contains clear
and distinct clauses. The tenor Of each article
shows that the frank, sincere and durable friendship
mentioned were not abstract phrases or general
terms but that they should be viewed as binding or
obligatory not only on the Government of the two
Republics, isolated and distinct from their respective
citizens but aso that this friendship should be reci-
proca between the Governments and the citizens
1t clear therefore, hat the obligations contracted
and sgreed upon in the treaties and the conduct OBJ
served and pracsed thus far by the United States in
the disagreeabe affair Of Texas, are not in unison,
and that on their part the spulations have not been
complied with"
