The intcrpostion of this government has
been invoked by many of its citizens, on ac-
f. count OF injuries done to their persons and
| property, for which the Mexican republic is
responsible. The unhappy situation Of that
| country, Tor some time past, has not allowed
J its government to give due consideration to
claims OF private reparation, and has appear
ed to call for and justify some forbearance in
such matters on the part of this government.
But it the revolutionary movements which
have lately occurred in that republic end in
the organization Of stable government, ur
gent appeals to its justice will then be made,
and it may be hoped, with success, for the
redress OF all complaints of our citizens.

In regard to the American republics, which,

lawless irruptions, which in effect throws
most of the task on the United States Thus
If is that the distracted internal condition of
the State OF Nicaragua has made it incunl-
7 bent on me to appeal to the good faith of
our citizens to abstain from unlawful inter-
4 yention in its affairs, and to adopt preventive
measures to the same end, which, on SINH
lar occasion. had the hest results in reassur
mo tbe peace of fine Mexican States of So
nora and Lower California.
