Nosr- EXCELLENT SIR: By your excellency's note of
to-day, am informed that his exceency the President
has been pleased to confer appointment, in Or
der that, together with Don Antonio Monardin mags
trate OF the supreme court, and Don Antonio Garay
may hearken to the propositions for peace which the
missioner of the government of the United States wishes
to make AS Mexican who desires the welfare OF his
country ought to state to your exceency that being at
the head OF the government in the year 1885, Just passed,
when the government of the United States first moved
in sending commissioner to arrange the differences
which. on account of the Texas question, disturbed
the harmony which ought to exist between two conerm-
nous republics for no other act than showing that there
would be no obstacle to his presenting himself and hav
ing his propositions heard, my administration calum
mated in the most arocOus manner for this act alone
the revolution which displaced me from the command
was set on foot; and If were now 10 take part in the
same question, it would give occasion for renewal Of
the scenes which then took place; and the best result
from existing circumstances through negotiations how
ever honorable, would be received than it might
be ii they undertaken by persons who may have
had no part in that affair.
might aege other reasons for declining, but it seems
to me that that which have mentioned sufficient for
his excellency the President upon taking into consider
alton, to have the goodness to accept the resignation
which make of the honorable commission which he has
been pleased to confer on me-
This have the honor to state TO your excellency In
answer your note above mentioned, at the same time
offering YOU my consideration and due esteem.
God and liberty!
