The subjoined important proclamation, ISSUED
by the President Of the United States, viii DC
read with interest. 1t relates TO a subject which
has attracted large share Of PCblic attention.
and will be received with general appreciation.
1t shows that the President is determined TO in

By THE PRESIDENT or TILE UNITED STATES
rBocLANAIIo,-.
Whereas information has been received by me
that an unlawful expedition has been fitted cut
n the State Of fCaliornia with view to invade
Mexico-a nation maintaining friendly relations
with the United S.ates-2ad other expeditions
are organizing within the United States for the
same unlawful purpose; and whereas certain ci-i-
zens and inhabitants ofthis country, un.nindiul
oftheir obligations and duties, and Of the rights
Of friendly power, have participated, and are
about to participate, in these enterprises, so de
roga5ory to our national character, and so threat
ching to our tranquility, and are thereby incur
ring the severe penalties imposed by law against
such offenders
Now, therefore, !, Franklin Pierce President
ofthe United States, have issued tins my Trocla-
nation, warming all persons who shall connect
themselves with any such entcrprizc or czPedi-
ton, that the penalties Of the law denounced
against such criminal condaot, viii be rigidly en-
forced: and ezhoct all coed citizens as they re-
gard our national character, as they respect our
laws or the laws Of nations, as thgy value Tie
blessings and peace and the welfare, oftheir coun-
try to discountenance and by all lawful means
prevent. such criminal enterprises, and call up
on all Officers Of ftbis government, civil andmilita-
~, to use any efforts which may be in their Pow
er 10 arrest FOR trial and punishment, every such
offender.
