the prospective restoration Of peace.
IL is settled beyond all doubt or peratventu.e that NJ
new proposal 10 negotiate will be by this government
and diplomatic relations are 10 be restored advance
must made by Mexico. She has once twice. thrice rejected
tue propositions 90 or government 10 the bloody
Eamcnt o the sword, and u pac nc mode OF 1il,t-
ment OF our differences j. supcFNcuc the n,aDry sion
must b. taken by her. Such, believed is the seted
pohcy OF the administration, which every patriotic Amef-
will most heartily approve.
Mexico would doubtless be perfectly resigned 10
acknowledge the R'J Grande as the boundary OF Texas
and forever Withdraw the prcsumpuou 10 the rec1v-
OF any portion OF the Texan territory The last hone
that she by any possible combination Of crcu-
stances regain Texas any portion OF IT, must now be
forever banshed from the minds Santa Anna and his
infatuated followers. They viii hence not commit such

That Junction Of the forces OF these two brave comap-

Mr.. Tust, II Is presumed, will remain 90 Mexico until
he witnesses the denOuemsR having documents suited 10
