or 11SHter, Mr.. Qadsden, presented his
credentials 70 Gen. Santa Anna on the 10th
n, and hish Compliments, full Of sound and
meaning nothing, were exchanged.
Mr. Gadsden said
With much satisfaction present my creden-
tials as messenger and Minister of the United
States Of North America near the Mexican Re-
public. Familiar as is your Excellency with
the history and structure of the Government
have the honor to represent; federal in the re-
lations of the neighboring States which consti-
tute it. and popular in the principles that trans
nit the official authority to declare the popular
will, this is an opportune occasion to place be-
fore your Excellency the inaugural address OF
our recently elected President, who, by a un-
animity contemporaneously with that which
called your Excellency to preside over the Mex
lean nation, has been burdened with the high
responsibility of ruler of sister republic
This address, as we'll as the credentials that l
present, affirm in language that place beyond
eauiyocation or doubt, the most friendly reia-
tions that President Pierce desires to promote
with the nations of the earth.
In mutual respect to the nationality of each;
in the just observance of the spirit ana letter
of conventions and treaties; in the reciprocity
of commercial freedom and progress, and in the
fraternal alliances that are invariably followed
by a corresponding enlightenment, the Govern
ment of the United States recognizes the most
secure guarantee of harmony at home and OF
peace abroad Maintaining these sentiments Of
good will and neighborhood, it is of particular
interest to the republics within the limits Of
North America, whose very neighborhood may
be the cause of stimulating irregularities on
the frontier, threatening an interruption to the
friendly relations of both powers, that all causes
of dissatisfaction should be guarded against.
Whatever may be the high destinies of these
two sister commonwealth, so abundantly en-
dowed with all the elements that are adapted
to state of national Independence, the pros
perity of the individuals and the national great
brotherly neighborhood, there is no sagacity
that can presume to limit their prosperity. nor
any obstacles that can impede them.
The United States of North America, by
means of its accredited representative, avails
| itself of the present opportunity to greet the
Republic of Mexico in a spirit of friendship, Of
justice, and of peace.
Reply of his ErceHency the President of the
Republic.
| l receive with satisfaction the letter of his
Excellency the President of the United States Of
America, in which you are accredited as his
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary. see in this proof of the desires that
animate his Excellency to cultivate the good un-
derstanding that exists between both countries
and that are so satisfactory to this Government
Nor can l fail to be equally satisfied with the
address of the great chieftain that now directs
the destinies Of friendly Republic, and with
| that which your Excellency has presented to me,
when in such grave and solemn documents we
see expressed sentiments of such sincere friend
ship, of policy so judicious, which ought to be
a fountain most productive of results for the
peace of this continent. These manifestations
joined with the sound principles enunciated by
your Exoellency, forebode, by the favor Of
heaven, continuance of peaceful relations be-
tween the two countries, etc. etc., with more Of
| this kind of ministerial CANNON, too diffuse for
publication.
The amount of the two addresses is, that Mr.
Gadsden spoke as all ENJOYS speak on such oc-
casions, and that Santa Anna pretended
friendship which he did not feel. OF course
neither believed word of what the other said
