Our CHARGE d. Afraires ad interim in Mexico, Mr.
Green, we observe, has had another hit aims in
the diplomatic way with Mr. BocaLt Grs, the N exi-
can Minister Of Foreign Affairs We translate a
paragraph from Mr. G's note.
+" he undersigned niust be permitted 10 sdd
that he considers the notes Of his excellency, Mr.
Bocanegra, under dates Of the 30,h May and Oh
June, discouri-ous and altogether unwsrnbt.d
The charges OF usUrpaiion, OF atroci,y, Of bad tah
and violation OF treaties so ire queny repeated by
his excellency, and The fierce and ofs iDsiDua
tiohs contained IN he part Of his excelleDcy's
note which commences with these wordr,
| Experience has confirmed &c, are as re-
prehensible, as they are gratuiious and IN
founded, and the Undersigned hopes that they VIII
| not be repeated He has express orders from bis
government, gwen on icrmer occasion, but spIi-
cable IN the present instance, 10 stale 10 Mexico,
that he can hold no communication with her, bur
In terms OF that courtesy ana respect which are
due TO the honor and dignity Of the United States
The undersigned cannot admit that ei,her he or
his government have committed any offence
against Mexico BY no means have they done it
Intentionally. And sither does he with that
Mckee should pass over in silence a Supposed in
jury. II Mexico believes that she has Iis hts over
Texas, or that these rights been violated the
United States are always disposed and reeoyio
listen To her recan,atlons, and 10 render justice
They are aso equal ready to defend their proper
rights against any opposer, let him come from hat
pc mt he may.
The language of representation will ever be at
tended 10 by The American people or government.
But threats and ouIages avail but he in altering
present case, TO treat with Texas an independent
power"
Mr.. Bocanegra replies, sustaining the position
,esy to the United States 1.-THE treaty &c amty,
| navigation, commerce. &c, between the United
States and Mexico, ratified IL 1892 he repeats,
contains clear and distinct C auses. The tenor OF
each article sl4ws that the frank, sincere and
durable friends u p mentioned, were not abstract
phrases or &c, Dal terms, but that they should be
o nvern 10 M he fun Rapuhli fna nd
| distinct from their respective ci,lzens, but alo
| hat this friendship should be reciprocal between
| the Governments and the citizens. II is clear,
| therefore, that the obligations contracted and
agreed upon IN the treaties, and the conduct eb-
| served and practsed thus tar by the United States
in The dlsagreeabl- affair If Texas, not in
son. and that their part the slipulHioIs have not

| most cruel treatment, on the mere shadow oi a
retence to justify such proc, edugs. We wish to
call the attention OF our government TO the fact,
/ hat William Bsby, respectable citlzrn OF the

reside In this town, was as late as the 9th inst stil
detained prison al MaIanzas by the governInr ut

'uch detention; and we happen also 10 know, that
