Government TO the satisfaction ,,q.rcd ~: Only
on account Of the Annexation ;.t5auced by
the treaty, but also for the outrage and arrncous
injury done to Mexico, to its dignity and lis
rights, by the signing Of the SAID treaty; and
Mexico 1atters herself with the hope tina. The
Senate OF an enlightened nation, free, and found.

summatc constitutionally an act condemned by
reason and justice. But il, unfortunately and
against this hope, the said treaty should be APP

consider herself in that position in which she
must act in conformity with the rights Of nations
and her protests. The undersigned. &c.

LEGATION OF THE Y: s; OF ANEgloA.e
The undersigned, Charge d'Afiaircs ad interim
OF the United States Of America, has The honor
to acknowledge the receipt of the note Of his
Exccency jose MARIA DE BocANEGRA, dated
yesterday, a copy of which the undersigned has
transmitted to his Government. The undersgn-
ed will content himself with merely acknowledge
ing the receipt of the note leaving to his Govern
mcnt TO make the reply deemed suitable 10 CON-
munication so extraordinary. He considers the
note so INDIGENOUS, and the tenor Of its contents
so little worthy of bis official character as the re-
preventative of powerful nation, whose generosl-
ty Mexico has more than once experienced, that
il is unnecessary to make any reference TO the in
jurious cpithcts Of his Exceency the Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
There is one passage however, in the note OF
his excellency, Mr.. BocANEGRA, 10 which he
grieves, bat he is compelled to alude. 1t is that
in which it is said 20 Mr.. Green, by order of his
government, says that there has been conclud
" ed and signed treaty for the Annexation Of
Texas and without lacking in the respect due
" to Mexico, he informs its Government that the
s." United States have been Obliged TO resort to that
measure for their own security and interest, &C."
f" 1t is not little remarkable that document
E" which contains a declaration SO express, IRE
garding the rights of Mexico,) should also be
f." the same in which is fonud those rights OF ne
/" cessity, &c. on the part IF the United States"
If his Excelency will again refer 10 The note OF
the undersigned, nc will see that he is entirely
mistaken as TO its contents.
The undersigned would much regret 10 enter
tain the belief that NJ. &c BoC,NEGhA would will
fully desire to misconstrue his meaning. Inc
Government of the United STATES, in directing
this communication to hexico, did not admit, d.
reciyor indirectly, that Mexico WIS the legitimate
superior of Texas, nor that It meflted, as such,
any explanation or apology. The independence
of T.xas having been acknowledged. not only by
the United States. but as' by the principal pow
ers Of the world, the majority I'll which have es
tahlshed diplomatic relations with that territory.
it must be considered az an independent aid SOW

Texas and of the United Sta,ez, AID mem

The undersigned would permir hursclf here TO
express his surprise, that nexicn should again
iterate its unfounded protests ag'nst the con-
duct which the Government Of the United States
thought proper to adopt regarding the Republic
of Texas, and more especially that it sh uld d.
rect those protests to the same nations MS have
acknowledged the independence of Texas. and
have for long time denied 10 Mexico any rights
in the matter. The principle TO which his Ex-
cellency assents, that Mexico with vain protests
on paper could preserve their rights to the terri
tory of Texas, when the facts notorious tha'
Texas has declared and maintained her lndppend
ence for so many years, and that during all this
time Mexico could not re. conquer II, and, finally,
that for that object be has discontinued oil efiors
is truly new aud extraordinary. With the sam"
pretcxt Mexico might say that its empire is ,nt
world, and its subjects the different nations BY
which the world is peopled, and claim that Its
rights may be acknowledged.
The undersigned begs permission to e1presshis
regret, that Mexico should reject the friendly
propositions of the Government of the United
States, TO arrange the questions arising out of
their present relations ; and he embraces this OPP
portunity to say, that if Mexico should declare
war; as she has threatened, she will herself be the
aggressor, and alone responsible for the evils
which may follow. At the same time, the United
States will pursue the policy required by their
honor and interest, guided solely by what is
thought to be due to themselves and other nations.
The undersigned has reason to congratulate
his country on this correspondence, because the
world can now see that the United States, in all
its career in this matter have conducted them
selves with honor, justice and cemency toward
Mexico and that, in deferring for SO long time
what other nations who have acknowledged the
independence of Texas have declared to be with
in thci. rights, and suspended the exercise of that
right until it was necessary for their security they
have done more than Mexico could expect from
them. The world will also known the manner
in which Mexico has considered the friendly
propositions of the United States; and if if
should come TO declaration of war; with all the
evils which are its concomitants, the censure
must fall on those who provoked it.
The undersigned. sc.
