To lis Erctlcncy, Gen. An'onio L0pc- ne Santa
Anna, PresAcaf II the RcyuJdc of N.cico.
Sir: II appears b. letter received from Gene
raj Adrian VOL under date OF the 10Th ul,imc,
that YOU have entertained desire 10 communicate
with this Government regret, however ex-
trcmcly, that, in 50 doing, You should have in
dulged in a departure from the courtesy which
ordinarily obtains in The correspondence between
CIVILIZED STATES OF the present age. There are
certain designated and universally scknowiegei
channels Of intercourse between nations; such rs

in the communication 10 which allude, address

ment. Ii is, however, addressed 10 Texans; bul
in language which even common courtesy does
not sanction.
For the information Of your Excellency, will
suggest, that the commission sent out by this GO

Texas and rs suci must have been communicated
10 your Excellency. Otherwise, the commission
ers could not have been received in their otfcial
capacity. HSlT C'7FHHuS 0toHt cli1itie'i 'ICii ~

or approval OF The Executive. Without appro-
val they could acquire no validity. The desig-
nation OF Texas as a department Of the Mexican
confaderacy, 50 eo'Jed, was highly obnoxious to
the President: and consequently, the conduct OF
the commissioners was at once dlsa2prored. Fol-
