N his Excellency, Mr.. Shannon, his per-

consideration. ,,s
LUIS c. CUEVAS.
The general circular is as follows;
The undersigned, Minister of Foreign
Relations, has the honor TO transmit 10 MS
ExceIIency the Minister of -, the fol-
lowing circular, being impelled TO employ
this means of transmitting TO his your)
government, in this note, the solemn ana
formal protest of the Mexican Republic
suggested by an act which, wounding TO
the last degree the rights and honor 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 international International
poli,ico.) His ExceIency, Senior -,
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 annexation of the
department OF AeAds W tHe nhN''N"''
Union.
To present, in all its dcformty, this act
of the Congress and government OF the
United States, the alarming consequences
of its conduct towards the Mexican Repub-
lie. would be useless labor, inasmuch as
this note is addressed TO the representative
of nation as illustrious as it is powerful,
which sustaining nobly the rank which II
occupies in the world, respects the laws OF
the comfy buena amistad between for
egn nations, and POUNDS its glory upon the
immutable titles Of morality and justice.
The government of the undersigned has no q.
occasion to exhibit all the grounds upon
which it relies for its resistance of this
measure of annexation, as they are obvious
and known to all, and as the feeling excite d,
among friendly nations, and even those
which have no official relations with Mexi-
co, will be profound upon learning of
measure so injurious and offensive TO Mex
leo, and so utterly unworthy the honor
buen nombre1 of the United States.
But the undersigned will take occasion
to observe to his excellency, Senior -.
that the American government, having
been the first 70 acknowledge the inde-
pendence of the Republic Of Mexico, show
ing itself jealous partizan Of liberty, has
been the only one which has endeavored
10 usurp portion of her territory. He
would also add, that as it appears from
recent declarations, the designs of the Uni
ted States have been as old as the friend
ship which it was sought TO confrm-first,
by treaty of amity, and by another for
the ADJUSTMENT of boundaries--whi has
now been completely violated. In aiding
Texas to sever herself from the Republic,
the United States were wanting in good
faith; but in aiding 10 incorporate Texas
with the American Confederation, and de-
claring that this has been her policy for
twenty years, she has pursued course
which has no parallel in the history of civ
ilized nations.
Mexico, 10 avoid differences which for
the most part had no foundation in justice
(as against her.) has submitted TO serious
compromises; she has overlooked provoca-
tons and injuries, and has preserved her
, loyalty with such fidelity as to give her
more right--if the right she possesses can
be increased-to speak ont and protest as
the undersigned now does against the an
nexation of Texas 10 the United States.
: and against all its consequences. The
Mexican Republic will employ in opposi.
: ton TO this measure, her power and her
, resources, and, trusting in the justice of
her cause, does not fear to give assurance.
that whatever may be the result, she will
preserve the honor which at any cost she
ought to defend in the very grave matter
: under consideration.
: With this view the undersigned requests
his excellency, Senior -, to give this
proper direction, and at the same time to
accept the assurances Of his most distin.
guished consideration.
