MoDsignor CLEMENT as apostolic delegate LOT courtesy
cannot allow that the representation OF the envoy 10 our
republic be any longer undecided, taking into consdeTa
lion The relations which Mexico maintains with the apos
lolic See and The spiritual dependence oil the nation upon
the universal father oil the faithful.
The great benefits which Mexico and The world al
large expect reap from the opening OF the route across
the sthmus OF Tehuanepec considered by Congress
in lis last session. the decree OF the OF May having
been issued with view to facilitate this enterprise. The
government has allowed means TO remain untried, and
has omitted nothing which diligence or precauton could
prompt, to expedite its execution in such way that
while producing all Its advantages, The serious nconve
niences attending the project might be done away with
In this matter and the better to insure its success II has
given such proofs OF self denial and Observation-Disclosures

their resignation, thereby completing the duties prescribed

But this matter. which only the government OF Mexico
should have right 10 discuss. and which certain deca
ratons OF the government OF the United States had IN
consequence placed IN ITS natural CENTRE has appeared 10
change its aspect in the Senate OF that republic where
