CONFIDENTIAL
MEXICO, October Is,

MEXICO, October Is, ls45
SrR: have informed my government of the pri-
vate conference which took place between you and
myself on the llth instant, and have submitted TO it
the confidential letter which you, in consequence Of
and agreeably to, what was then said addressed TO
me yesterday. In answer, Ihaps 10 say 10 you that
although The .hsrcan nation is deeply injured by the
United States, through the acts committed bu them ia The
department Of Tsras, iohieh belongs 10 this nation ru
government disposed TO receive The commissioner of he
United States ,rho may 10 this capital Nth fall
po,osy from his government 10 settle The present dispute
in peaceful, reasonable, and honorable manner; thus
giving new proof that, even in the midst of its nu-
ries, and OF Its firm decision to exact adequate repa
ration for them, 1t does not repel with contumey
the measure Of reason and peace to which it is in
vited by Its adversary.
As my COVER nment believes this invitation to be
made In good faith, and with the real desire that it
may lead to !. favorable conclusion, it also hopes
that the commissioner will be a person endowed
with the Qualities proper for the attainment of this
end; that his dignity, prudence and moderation and
the dlscreeness and reasonabeness Of his proposals.
will contribute to calm as much possible the lust
irritation Of the Mexlcans; and, in fine, that the
conduct of the commissioner on all points may be
such as to persuade them that they may obtain sat
sfaCuon for their injuries, through the means of
reason and peace, and without being obliged to re-
sort to those of arms and force.
What my government requires above all things is,
that the mission of the commissioner of the United
States and his reception by us, should appear to be
always absolutely frank, and free from every sign of
menace or coercion. And thus, Mr.. Consul, while
making known to your gOvernmen the disposition on
the part of that Of to receive the commissioner
you should impress upon it, as indispensable, the
previous recall Of the whole naval force now lying
in sight of our port of Vera Cruz. Its presence
would degrade Mexico, while she is receiving the
commissioner, and would justly subject the United
States to the lmputaton OF conradicting by acts the
vehement desire of conciliation peace, and friend
ship, which is protested and asserted by words
have made known to you, Mr.. Consul, with the
brevity which you desired, the disposition of my
government; and in so doing, have the satisfaction
to assure you of my consideration and esteem for
you personally.

the very nature Of the occurrence, and the actua
state which at this day is preserved by both govern
ments.
IL will be within the knowledge Of the consul
that sloop-ot-war Of his nation, named the "Palo

entered the bay Of the port Of Manzanillo and .
captain and Lieutenant colonel have landed iron
her, who have made known that said corvette il
commanded by Mr.. Maist Possets; that she carries
twenty two guns, and a crew Of two hundred ant
thirteen men. The result being, that the local au
thorlues took alarm, and placed themselves in a
posture OF defence, was natural on the presenc,
of ship-of-war, and from the conduct Of her com
mander.
The government Of Mexico has given its orders
for the purpose Of suspendng for the present any
act OF hostility against the United States, and hmiil
itself 10 the defensive awaiting the issue Of the ne
COLLATION. proposed by the government of the United
States through the consult and this proceeding de-
mands, with still greater reason, that the part
