II is the duty Of this Government to observe
The faith of treaties, and to prevent any ag-
oresson by our citizens upon the territories
Of friendly nations
have therefore thought it necessary and
proper to issue this proclamation to warn all
citizens who shall connect themselve with an
enterprise so grossly in viola ion Of our treaty
obligations that they will thereby subject
themselves 10 the heavy penalty denounced
against them by our acts OF Congress, and
will forfeit their cliim TO the protection o
their country. No such persons must expect
the Interference of this Government In any
form in their behalf, no matter to what ex'
tremi,ies they may be reduced, in consc'
auence of their conduct.
An enterprise to invade the territories OF
friendly nation, set on foot aud prosecuted
vuhin the limit o. the United States, is in tho
hinhss, degree criminal, as tending TO endan
Ger the peace and compromise tho honor o
the nation, and therefore | expect all goo'
