PRESIDENT PROCLAMATION.
BALTIMORE. Oct D. 1851.

President Fillmore having received
information on Monday last from the
U. S. Consul at Matamoras that a
company of Texans had been organ
lied and had marched to join in the
late revolutionary movement in North
ern Mexico, and that new enlistments
were making for the same purpose, has
issued the following
prociamation:
Whereas, there is reason to believe
that military expedition is about to
be fitted out in the United States for
the purpose of invading the Mexican
Republic, with which this country is at
peace; and whereas, there is reason to
apprehend that a part of the people of
this country, regardless of their duties
as good citizens, are connected with or
may be induced to take part in the said
military expedition; and whereas, such
enterprises tend to degrade the charac-
ter of the United S tates in the opinion
of the civilized world and are expressly
prohibited by law:
Now, therefore, | have issued this
my proclamation, warning all persos.s
who shall connect themselves with any
such enterprise, in violation of the laws
and national Obligations of the United
States, that they will thereby subject
themselves to the heavy penalties de-
nounced against such offenders; that
if they shall be captured within the ju-
risdiction of the Mexican authorities,
they must expect to be punished ac-
cording 10 the laws of Mexico, and
will have no right to claim the interpo-
sition of this Government. | therefore
exhort all well disposed citizens, who
have at heart the reputation of theil
country, and are animated with JUS
regard for its peace and its welfare, te
discountenance, and by all lawful mean:
prevent, any such enterprise; and | cal
upon every officer of this Government
civil and Military, to be vigilant in ar
resting for trial and punishment, every
such offender.
Given under my hand, this 22d day
of October, in the year OF our Lore
one thousand eight hundred and fifty
one and seventy-sixth year of the In
dependence of the United States.
