NATIONAL PALACE, March %, lS45
! The undersigned, minister of foreign rela-
tons, in addressing himself for the last time
to his excellency Mr. Wilson Shannon, Minister
PIenipotentiary from the United States, desires
to inform him that, as both Houses of the United
States Congress have sanctioned the law in re-
lation TO the annexation of Texas to the terrific
ry of the United States, and as the minister from
Mexico has Withdrawn from his mission at
Washington, and protested against the act of
Congress and the government of the United
States, diplomatic relations between The two
countries cannot be continued.
j What can the undersigned add to what has al
ready been said by his government upon the
4 grave offence offered Mexico by the United
Estates, usurpng portion of Mexican territory,
and violating the terms of treaties of friendship,
which the republic Of Mexico has observed on
her part as long as her honor and the desire to
avoid a rupture with the United States have per-
Imided2 Nothing moro than TO lament that two
nations, free and republican, CONTIGUOUS (pecinos)
! and worthy of fraternal union, founded upon
/ mutual interests and common and honorable
fl loyalty, should have cut short their friendly rela-
tions, and by an act as offensive TO Mexico as it
fIis derogatory to the honor of the American
!, Union.
4 The undersigned renews TO his excelloncy
Il Mr. Shannon the protest already directed against
annexation; and, moreover, would add that the
{ Mexican republic will oppose the measure with
: all the decision due to her own honor and soye-
reignty, and that the government ardently de-
4 sres that considerations of loyalty and Justice
4 should yet outweigh with citizens Of the United
d States designs for extending ther territory at
i, the expense Of friendly republic, which, in the
9 midst Of It's mslortunes, (disgrdcias,) seeks to
n preserve an unspotted name, and thereby the
frank 10 whichits destihies call it,
The undersigned has the honor TO offer to his
o Eexcellency Mr.. Shannon his pc sonal respect,
n and 10 assure him Of his very distinguished con-
I. federation. LUIS q. CUEVAS.
