The undersigned Major GENIAL Scott, general-in-
chief of the armies of the United Ses has had the hon
to receive the note, dated the 10th instant of Senior d.
Ailass G. de Escalane, consul Of SPAIN residing in the
city Of Vera Cruz, asking that the said army, in its ope
atoms against the said city, may respect the persons OF
Spanish subjects and their property within the same.
The undersigned has great pleasure in recognising the
intimate relations OF amity which happily subsist be-
tween his government and that of SPAIN and the conse
quent obligations imposed the public forces of the
lormer IN Their operations against the said city, to respect
as far as may be practicable Spanish subjects and their
property within the same but he begs TO say TO the con-
sui OF SPAN that in carrying the city, whether by bonn
bardment and cannona1e assault, alland parhcu
larry IN the nght-hme--it will be exceedingly difficult
Tor the forces OF the United States perceive the consul
lar ags, 10 discriminate between the persons and the
property OF friends and the persons and property of the
enemy.
The undersigned can, therefore, only promise 10 do all
that circumstances may possibly permit to cause such
discrimination to be observed; and IN the mean time, to
show his anxiety to carry out that friendly purpose, he
sends to her Spanish Maesys CONSUL residing In Vera
Cruz, printed safeguard, under his major General
Scotts) sign manual to protect as far practicable, the
house OF the Spanish CONSUL and Spanish subjects and
property within the same-o be shown, If the city should
be carried to all officers and soldiers Of the United States
