Mosr EXCELLENT SIR IL have been entrust-

The appointment of Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plcuipotentiary which has been confer-s

of being the Interpreter of the sentiments by
which She is actnatcd, and of expressing my
own to the worthy Chief Magistrate who Mt

| to present. -,
The relations between the two Republics are
of the highest importance. The Mcx:cm Co
ycrnment is desirnrs TO cultivate friendship and
good understanding, so that those relations may
be sustained and happily preserved unaliered.
| Its most earnest wishes arc for the maintenance
of peacc, which should ever exist between them,
and to avoid all occasions tending, to disturb
that peace, or drive it from the path which Tor
their own common interest should never he
forsaken BY ciiher in order that no disagreeable
or unhappy occurrence may cngcndcr enmlty
between two nations, which, inhabiting the same
continent. with so many of the elements OF life
and prosperity around them, ought each to be
employed by such means rs Just and enlight-
encd pulley can pat into practice in securing the
welfare and moral perfection Of its own citizens
and the material progress of the country.

alter or diminish these sentiments of mutual
pood will and consideration, and that, both na-
, tlions being guided by them and by the princi-
ples of jus: ice whatever obligations may spring
: nm on either side. or may have been contracted
between them, will be fulfilled to the letter. :.
NV aims and all my efforts will be so directed
, that the interests of Mexico, which am called
upon 10 uphold. may always he rcconciled and
in harmony with those Of this great and enlight-
cned nation, and that during my mission may
Il RELY upon the kndness>and esteem of your En-
, cellcrce, whose noble qualities are known every
II where, and duly app-r lated.
: To which the President replied rs follows:

sentative of a conrrmipous Republic. .. There
is certainly no reason why the utmost harmony
