1 Of America, ,sisys notorious violation Of all
right has instiaated and protected openly
md perseyeringly the insurrection Of the
colonists Of Texas, ugainst the nation which
had admitted them upon It's territory, and
gencrously shielded them with the protection
of IFS laws:
That il has Incorporated the same terri
tory Of Texas into its union by an act Of lis
Congress, Notwithstanding il has always be-
longed, by undisputed right, to the Mexican
Ination--has been recognized as such by the
United States themselves, as appears BY The
boundary treaties of 1887 and 1885:
That il has not maintained the solemn as
surances and reservations in regard 10 the
rights Of the Mexican Republic, which, BY
means Of its agents, il had made in conform
lily with those troaties;
| Thar il has also invaded the Department
Of Tamaulipas, introducing ain army upon
the loft bank Of the Rio Bravo, giving oc-
casion and origin to.the battles Of the Sth and
9th Of May of the present year:
Thatin time of profound peace, and during
established relations Of atnity between the
two countries, il has invaded by land and sea
the territories Of the Ca hfornias
That il has blockaded tho ports Of Mata-
moras, Vera Cruz, and Tampico Of Tamau-
lpas, opening its fire upon the defence Of the'
latter: .ga4
That il has authorized levy. Of troops
agains Mexico: ,.s
That It has declared war against the Re
public, under the pretext that The said states
had been invaded, when in fact they made
the invasion:
And lastly, considering the nationality of
the Mexicans is seriously compromised by
the power and the spirit Of usurpation,
flagranily manifested by the aeighboring ma
ton Of The United States-DRcREEs,
ls,. The Mexican nation, in the exerc lse
of its natural defence, is actually in a st ate
of war with the United States of Amer ca.
In consequence thereof, the government
will employ all its resources and powers to
render the war effectual TO the reparation Of
the Injury done to the Mexican nation; it
will complete the bodies Of permanent mill
tia, and levy new forces at once tothe extent
il shall deem necessary, both TO fill up the
bodies al present on foot, and TO create others
Of the same description; and if it shall need
