! The President W i'll not content hmsel
with merely respecting, as IL 10 his d"ty
to do, the independents conceded by ihe
constitution TO each State relative to ii'
internal Administrations but it will be
the supreme authorities ofthe States upon
grave political questions al the presen,
epoch, and to govern his action by such
|opinions legally expressed 10 the dificuI,
measures which his Administrations will
be called upon to take. Carrying out
these principles, his Excellency, the Pro
visional President, confidently relies upo n
the most efficient cooperation of your
Excellency, and all the States, to susta ain
the independence and nationality Of Mex
ico, TO preserve from every assault the
federal institutions, whatever may be the
danger and the gravity of circumstances es,
since recent events have led to the occu,
patton of the capitol of the Republic by
the army of the invaders. All the meas
nres Of the War Department will be di-
rccted mainly to the attainment Of the
important ends above indicated.
His Excellency the President regards
ii as one ofhis chief duties to cilitate by
all possible means the assembling of the
National Congress, and he trusts your Elk
cellency will dictate every measure in
your power to bring about such reunion.
AS the greatest scandal which could be
presented to foreign nations would be the
sight of our country invaded by foreign
Zoe, devasted by a foreign war, and at the
same lime torn by anarchy his Excellen
cy, the President, is determined to save
the nation from this approbrium at what
ever cost; TO avoid also, by whatever meas
ures, policy, and crcumspection can die
tate, even the slightest occasion or motive
for scdition; and if this should not be suf,
fcie ient he is determine d, with the aid Of
the States,to repress every attempt revo-
luton whatever, employing for that pur
pose, 10 all their extent and energy, the
constitutional and ext raordinary powers
with which he is invested. The President
expects that your Excellenoy, to put dow
sedition, will employ all the powers and
all the resources Of the State or the fedora
ton, let what may be the class or category
of persons who may in any form I'M lerlake
TO disturb public order or attack our in
stitutions.
His Excellency, the President, has
deemed il proper to give an example Of
disinterestedness under the present cir.
cumstances, and relinquishing the right
which the law gives him of enjoying
large salary, he will accep, only such as is
allowed the heads Of departments The
cesson which his Excelency makes 10
favor Of the treasury, may in some meas
ure reconcile those in the employ Of the
nation to the economy which the Presi-
dent may be constrained to adopt in the
payment Of salaries.
His Excellency, the Provisional Presi>
dent, desires earnestly to be made thor
oughly acquainted with the true public
opinion in relation TO the very grave q les.
ion raised by the war of invasion. AS
the press is the principal organ OF this
opinion, bis Excellency desires that the
liberty Of the press should have no other
restrictions upon il than are demanded
by morality and good order.
Pursuing TIE principles which have
now developed, trusting in that Provi
dence which protects nations which are
the victims of an atf ocious injustice, and
in the patriotism and loality of all Mexi-
cans: his Excellency. the Provisional
President, hopes TO be able to make head
against the tremendous difficulties Of his
situation, until such time as the national
representation may assemble and noml.
nate citizen in his place to exercise tn e
Supreme Executive power.
10 communicating to your Excellency
the above, by order Of the President, ]
have the honor of assuring you of my dis
tinguished consideration.
God and Liberty. ROSA
