undersigned, geneals, chiefs and officers of
the garrison. assembled at the barracks
of the Sth regiment, for the purpose of
considering the caIamitous state TO which
the republic, seek the best remedy to
: extrcate her from her difficulties and
again lead her on to prosperity, being
aware that the cause of the fatal discord
. now existing, is owing TO the want of a
fudamentnl code freely dictated by the
nation whichhas always manifested hatred
TO monarchlcal system, and the want of a
government entirely emanating from pub
lie opinion, and not from the intrigues Of
factions That the preseLt government is
not legal one, and has generally acted in
IN oppressive manner calling, besides, an
anti popular convention which tends to
monarchy, and occudied in this detestabIe
intrigue, has neglected the defence Of her
national territory, and abandoned that part
Of the army charged with defending it on
the frontier--that the Republic is going to
ruin, and it is now more than ever neceSsa-
ry to labor assidiously to bind the ties of

lie, and are invited TO co operate in carry

circumstances of the war between the
Republic and the United States of the
North. The Congress about to assem- Die

hooves the MeXicans to obey their resoIu-
tons.
8 All those who in this department or
out of il, have taken arms against the
actual state of things, are called upon TO
second this plain, the only object which
is the public happiness. The same invita-.
ton is made to all the civil and military
authorities of tie other departments.
