lkely to provoke revolution in that country, which
shall bring about the Introduction Of monarchical gov.

Prince Our country deeply interested in the peace
Of The world aud deses to preserve loyal relations az
well with the allies as with Mexico. The President has

his views on the new aspect of affairs
The Pres dent has relied uOon the assurance given
hs Government by the ALI, that they we've in pursuit
Of no political object but simply the redress of their
grievances He entertAins doubt of the sincerity

explanations given by them that the Governments Of
spsn France and Great Britain have intention Of
