MEXICAN DOCUMEN'

IMPORTANT MEXICAN DOCUMENTS
II has already been mentioned that Senior Pa
checo was appointed Mexican Minister Of Fo
reign Affairs early in July. The name OF thi:
gentleman has long BEEN connected with the po
liiics OF The country, and Mexican papers before
US declare him IL be man OF ability and of un
questioned patriotism. The American Star, pub
lshed al Pueba seems 10 admit bis capacity and
patriotism, but insinuaies that ne IS man OF gal
anry, and distinctly attributes The rupture be
tween France and Mexico, 10 guilty intrigue o.
Pacheco with The French Minister'S wife. Be
this as il may, considerable importance must at
tach 10 The views now entertained by Pacheco, as
he is The organ OF Santa ADna's Government
with foreign nations. Upon entering Office, he
addressed 10 The Governors Of the States circu-

presume, in the absence of positive evidence Ia

Excellent Sir-As you are aware, The papers
which arrive al Vera Cruz transmitted by the
packets do not reach The capital. So far as can
be Judged by The correspondence which has arr-
red this day, The opinion OF civilized people is
generally favorable 10 the side Of Mexico in The
war Of defence against The United States How
can il be Otherwise in so Just causc2 The opinion
is equally general that the United States cannot
triumph, except BY relying upon The internal dis
sensions o. our Republic. Governments and peo-
pie express unanimous wishes 10 sec us united and
strong, in order that we may chaslse that abuse
al circumstances which an enemy takes who
thinks all The advantages are on his SHE. The
documents which are to-day published in The Dia-
rio Official are proof that these opinions are en-
Ieraincd by foreign nations.
BY one Of them you will perceive that the Co.
ycrnmcnt OF her Britannia Majesty, loyal 10 its
friendly relations with our Republic, has engaged
not TO recognize any revolutionary Government
which may osensibly be set up in The Republic,
but only that legimately established ,rheytrcr
lis residence may be- should The chances Of war
compel the Government TO leave The capital
In The other document you will perceive the
hopes and plans Of The enemy, and in another the
multiplied solicitations 10 our agents in foreign
countries 10 be allowed 10 come and take part in
the war IN favor OF our jus, cause. The Pro-
yi.ional President desires me 10 communicate all
this 10 your Exccllency, that, in like manner, you
may communicate il 10 The worthy people over
whom you preside; and he desires 10 njure the
people through me in the name of the country,
for their future deslines and Tor their character
among civilized nations, that they redoube their
efforts and contribute all the resources which The
State can raise, and arouse The spirit OF inde-
pendence and true federation among their pat
riolic inhabitants so as 10 confer credit on The
system By which We are governed, even in The
midst Of crisis such as will probably never
