Minister Plenpotentiary Of the republic of Mex
leo, has the honor of addressing himself to the
Secretary Of State for the purpose OF making
known to him that he has been instructed by his
government to inform that Of the Uniiej States OF
the fact that Mr.. Edmund ]. Forstall has advanced
a sum Of four hundred thousand dollars to Mex.
ice, which, according to agreement, must be re-
turned in full to him when the next instalment 81
the indemnity which the United States are paying
TO Mexico, in pursuance Of the treaty of Gaada
lupe, shall become due.
The undersigned encoses herewith to the Sec
retnry of State, copy ofthe note he has received
from his government, as is shown by copy No 9
and another sum Of one hundred thousand dollars
as 1t appears from the note marked No. 3, a literal
copy Of which he encloses to the Secretary OF
State And although it is stated in the memoran-
dunn OF this last note, that the sum advanced is
two hundred thousand dollars, the undersigned be
leves that this amount was inserted through a
mistake; and that the sum advanced is only one
hundred thousand dollars, as will be shown by
the respective certificates which the general trea-
sury Of Mexico has no doubt given to the party
interested.
The undersigned avals himself Of this oppor-
tunty to renew to the Secretary Of State the as
