LATER FROM MEXICO.

LATER fROM mEAlCO.
We received Yesterday, by the brig Gauda-
lete, advices two days later from Vera Cruz,
whence she sailed on the 4th inst. The first
things which met our eye upon glance at our
Mexican files, were the letter of Senior Cuevas
to Mr.. Shannon, and the circular addressed to
the Ministers of Spain, France and England, of
which we have heretofore made mention, and
of which we now give translatlons:
To HIS ExoELLENcY WILSON SHANHoN,
Envoy Extraordinary, sc. &c.
National Palace, MeriCo, Mdrch %, 1915
The undersigned, Minister Of Foreign Rela-
tons, in addressing himself, for the last time, to
his Excellency, Mr. Wilson Shannon, Minister
Plenipotentiary from the United States, desires
to inform him. that as both houses of the Uni
ted States Congress have sanctioned the law in
relation to the Annexation of Texas to the ter
ritory of the United States, 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Mexico has withdrawn from his mission at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.
What can the undersigned add to what has
already been said by his Government upon the
grave offence offered Mexico by the U. States,
usurping 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 rupture with the Uuited States have
permitted? Nothing more than to lament that
two nations, free and republican, contiguous
[vecinosl and worthy of fraternal union, found
cd upon mutual interests and a common and
honorable loyalty, should have cut short their
friendly relations, and by an act as offensive to
Mexico as it is derogatory to the honor OF the
American Union.
The undersigned renews to his Excellency,
Mr.. Shannon, the protest already directed a
gainst aanexation; and moreover would add,
that the Mexican Republic will oppose the
measure with all the decision due TO her own
honor and sovereignty, and that the Govern
ment ardently desires that considerations of
Loyalty and Justice should yet outweigh with
the citizens of the United States designs for
extending their territory at the expense of
friendly Republic, which in tho midst of its
misfortunes [disgracias seeks to preserve an
unspotted name, and thereby the rank to which
its destinies call it,
The undersigned has the honor to offer to his
Excellency, Mr., Shannon, his personal respect,
and to assure him Of his very distinguished con-
side,ation. LUIS G. CUEVAS.
The general circular is as follows:
The undersigned, Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions, has the honor to transmit to his Excel
lency, the Minister of -, the following cir
cular, being impelled to employ this means of
transmitting to his [yourl Government, in this
note, the solemn and formal protest of the
Mexican Republic, suggested by an act which,
wounding to the last degree the rights and ho-
nor of Mexico, is equally destructive to the uni
versal principles of justice, to the respect due
free and intelligent nations, and the good faith
which civilization has fixed as the basis of in
ternatonal intercourse international polltca.
His Excellency, Senor =, will understand
that the undersigned has reference to the law
passed by the Congress of the United States,
and sanctioned by the Executive, for the An
