AMERICAN CITIZENS IN MExlCo.-Our cores
pondent at the city of Mexico transmits to us
in official form two very important circulars,
which have lust arrived from the State De-
partment of the Miramon or Dentral Govern
ment of Mexico. They are addressed to the
State and Territorial authorities, and both
concern American citizens resident in the Re-
public. They have been called forth by the
general impression, there and here entertained,
that the Government from which they eman-
ate is particularly hostile to us as people, an
impression which the President declares to
be unfounded in fact. 1t is true, he says,
that misunderstanding exists betweed the
countries, a misunderstanding which he claims
originated in no fault of that Government,
and which has recently been aggravated by
the recognition of Juarez by Mr.. kcLane but
he denies that it extends to our countrymen.
On the contrary, he claims that in the recog-
milton of Juarez wrong has been done to the
sentiments of majority of both people,
Americans as well as Mexicans AYERS that
the Withdrawal of the United States Consular
exequaturs was but necessary sequence of
that event, and not dictated by any petty spir-
il of revenge, and declares it to be Lis will
that American citizens, residentin the Republic
so long as they take no part in the civil wars,
should be treated with all the consideration
due citizens of friendly powers. And to this
end the authorities addressed are requested to
protect our countrymen, settled in any State
or Territory, both in their persons ond pro-
perty and interests, with all tho force at their
command.
So, between the promises of the two govern
ments--the Constituencies and the Church
Military-if Mexican promises are ever worth
anything, our countrmen need not fear for
the future. Before full crepence is given,
however, to their fair words, it would be we'll
that some explanation be asked for or made
for the lives, bnt few days since, so inhu-
manly sacrificed, and some evidence given
that the government, even if it has the will,
has also lhe power to protect onr citizens from
the knife of the assassin.
In closing, however, the President calls the
particular attention of the authorities to the
designs of greedy spectators, known to all
the world, " against the integrity of the ma
tional territory. These spectators, he says,
live for the most part in the Southern States,
which ones more particularly he does not
specify, and the principal objects of their
Vaccinations are the rich lands on the north
ern frontier and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
II is here however, that lies the greater part
and most valuable of the public domain, long
since hypothetical for the debts Of the Re-
public and that fact, if not tho national

threatened, should be sufficient reason why
these schemes of their covetous neighbors
should BIO watched with an Argus eye, and
frustrated by all the means in their power
