MR.. M'LANE TO GENERAL cAss.
UNITED STATES LEGATION
VERA CRUZ, Dec. IA, 1852
SIR have the satisfaction TO forward herewith treaty
concluded with the government Of Mexico, by which It
will be perceived that my negotiation for transits and
rights Of way across the Isthmus Of Tehuanepec, and
from the Rio Grande and Arizona TO the Gulf of California
is successfully closed and that this government consents
TO all the stpulaoLs deemed important by President
| to insure the safety Of the same.
have also concluded, and forward herewith a con-
venton with the government of Mexico enforce treaty
spulatons and maintain territory of the
republics of Mexco and the United Staes by which 1t
will be perceived that while the independence Mexico
is in degree compromised the United States acquires
the right to intervene in support Of its own treaty
rights and the security OF its own citizens when
ever Mexico may be unable to guarantee the same with
out mourning the obligation necessity of general inter-
vention 10 the domestic affairs Of that country
The treaty Of ransts and commerce is based upon the
revolutions or project Of Mr. Ocampo, submitted to
with his letter OF the 9Th of July 1852 copy Of which
was transmitted 10 exhibit A. Of my despatch No.
70 The articles OF this project have been modified in
pursuance OF your instructions communicated in your No.
10, which notifications refused by Mr. Fuente his
note OF August 30, copy of which transmitted to
You as exhibit Of my despatch No 49, and again the
Ztn OF November in personal conference with after
which he retired from The government President Juarex
having decided that II was bis duty to conclude the
negotiation the basis OF your instructions already
noted Mr. Ocampo then having resumed the
post of Minister OF Foreign Affairs l held seve-
raj conferences with him, in which advised him
that had no desire TO press the views
OF my government further, and that should not
the negotiation the views Of the President in rea
ton TO the protection Of the transs promptly and
fully conceded In reply TO which he informed me that
be had received instructions to accept the proposition
made to Mr. Fuente In August to wit that the article
the treaty with the republic of Nicaragua relating TO the
protection necessary and TO insure the safety of the
ranss should be adopted rs satisfactory solution Of the
question.
nacn Of the other articles of his project all OF which
were modified to meet the views Of tho Of
Uneu StsteS except IN reauon 70 the mtauon proposed
by the dividends that might be made by comps
possessing the privileges Of transit In the exercise
Of the discretion confded TO me, did not press
this proposition, as Mr.. Ocampo manifested un-
usual senGbility in reference TO it and per-
sisted in his opinion that such q limitation
ought not TO be enforced upon that invested
capital In Mexico where the value Of money 80 much
greater than in the United States in Europe; but
deemed expedent to extend and enlarge the demand
had made concerning the commercial privileges to be en-.
joyed At the termination Of the ranss With this view
proposed that List Of articles should be agreed upon
of fho
pubcs and that the Congress the United States should
select from the list at its discretion which articles could
be imported into either republic at these transs on terms
Of perfect reciprocity whether free or at fixed rate OF
duty. In this list embraced everything that was in
cuded in the project OF reciprocity treaty formerly ne
gosted between Mexico and the United States with some
additional articles OF considerable Importance especially
