Don Manual Rincon, General Of Divis

Department Of Mexico, has published th'
following proclamation:
"rhe Minister OF Foreign Affairs hal
commu nicaled TO me the following decree
JOSE Joaquin DE HERRERA, General o.
Division and President ad interim Of The
Mexican Republic, to the citizens thereof
Be 1T KNowN-That the General Con
gress has decreed, and the Executive
sanctioned the following:
The National Congress Of the Mexican
Republic considering
That the Congress Of the United States
Of the North, has, bya decree, which its
Executive has sanctioned, resolved to in,
corporate the Territory Of Texas with the
American Union;
That this manner OF approprlatlng 10
itself territories upon which other ma.
lions have rights, introduces monstrous
novelty, endangering the peace Of the
world, and violating The sovereignty of
nations;
That this usurpation, now consumma.
eed to the prejudice Of Mexico, has been
in insidious preparation for long time;
at the same time that the most cordial
friendship was proclaimed, and that, on
he part Of this Republic, the existing
treaties between it and :hose States were
respected scrupuIously and tegalIy;
| That the said Annexation Of Texas to
the United States, tramples on the con-
servative principles Of society, attracts all
the rights that Mexico has to that terri
tory, is an insult to her dignity as a SOW
ereign nation, and threatens her indie,
pendence and political existence;
That the law of the United States. in
reference the Annexation of Texas toI
the United States, does in no wise destroy
the rights that Mexico has, and will en-
force, upon that department;
That the United States, having trampled
on the principles which served as basis
to the treaties Of friendship, commerce
and navigation, and more especially to
those boundaries fixed with precision,
even previous TO 1889, they are consid-
cred as violated by that nation;
And finally, that the unjust spoilaton
of which they wish to make the Mexican
nation the victim, gives her the clear
right to use all her resources and power,
to resist to the last moment, said Annexa-
ton;
