ON the l7th ult. q offered his servicest0
sustain the integrity Of the Mexican ter
ritory and the dignity Of the republic.
He was rather coolly received By the
government, and it is reported that he
refused the military honors tenderedhim
on his arrival. II, t,was believed that
his return was not invited by any party,
and that he had no desire TO meddle m
public affairs.i 41is a5'aa 5saisa4 iiti ~
The people generally were, quiet,
and not at all alarmed, notwithstanding
the war cries made by the Federalists
and the. partisans Of Santa Anna, who
are loud ia denouncing the government
for want Of energy. The state Of the
public Treasury was presumed to be
pretty low, as the officers in the employ
Of the government found great difficulty
in obtaining one fourth OF their salaries.
The acting President, General Cans
also, and ex-Ministef Of Var, Gen..
Basadre, not accepting the propositions
made them by government, to be expa.
triated for ten years, have been impris-
ed for the same term, the former IN the
castle Of Perote, and the, latter in. that
of San Juan de Ulloa.

can Republic, considering, swa... v II
That the Congress Of the United
States Of the North has, by "a decree,
which its Executive has sanctioned, re-.
solved to incorporate the Territory Of
Texas with the American Union: nm
That this manner Of appropriating TO-
itself territories upon which other nations
have rights. Introduces monstrous nov.
city, endangering the peace of the world,
and violating the sovereignty of'nations;
i That this ssusurpation, now consumma~
ted to the prejudice of Mexico, has been
in insidious preparation for a long time.
at the same time that the most cordial
friendship was proclaimed. and that, on
the part ofthis Republic, the existing
treaties between itTand those States were
respected scrupulousIy and legally;
i That the said annexation of Texas to
the United States tramples on the con.
servatiye principles Of society, attacks all
the rights that Mexico has to that terri
tory, is an insult to her dignity as a
sovereign nation, and threatens her in>
dependence and political existence;s
EsAT That, the law Of the United States, IN
| reference tothe annexation OF Texas to
: the United States, does in no wise de-
. stroy the rights that Mexico, has, and
q wall enforce, upon that department; 50

pied on the principles which served as
basis to the treaties of friendship, COM
merce. and navigation, and more espe-
) cially to those of boundaries fixed with
y precision, even previous TO 1882, they
0 are considered as violated by that nation;
And, finally, that the unjust spoliation
Of which they wish 70 make The Mexican
nation the victim, gives her the clear
