GENERAL ORDERS
To be read TO the defenders Of Meriean liberty uho under M,

All people earth, both ancient and modern have
seen themselves compelled by the enormous weight OF
the oppression OF unjust and cruel tyrants TO take up
arms and reconquer, with fire and blood, their violated
sacred rights, reassumng that sovereignty which, as
gift OF the God OF the universe belongs them The
people are soveregn-government was only instituted TO
make them happy and carry out their will The people
them are the grantor, and government agent and
the whole world knows that when agent, far from
carrying out the will OF the grantor, procuring the

rights, thereby causing his RUM other resource is left
but to remove that bad servant and in his place put
more faithful one.
In this the republic OF Mexico finds ITSELF and
more particularly the north and northwest portions of

them in misery and without its richest territories and
resources. Their property was nearly all lost without

men OF General Arsa and, far from hearing he has
attempted to humble and nmidate us, as If were vile

On the other hand, the nation is on the verge OF pre-
