San ANGEL (near Mexicol Dec 20, 1850.
SIR-I have the honor to advise you Of my arrival at

ton Of the United States in Mexico with instructions
from the Hon. Robert NJ McIane Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentary of the United States, to
communicate with the representatives Of foreign Powers
now residing the city Of Mexico, and to make known
to them the policy of the government Of the United
States with respect to Mexico under the present dpora
BILE circumstances which attic; this republic
You are aware that proposals have already been made
by the government Of Great Britain to the two parties
now contendng for political power and ascendancy in
Mexico with the object Of bringing about pac1caton
Of the country These efforts, however, have thus far
failed Of the desired end-boh parties declining the prof
fered Intervention and observation-disclosures neither are
willing to compromise the great principles at issue In the
pending civil -ts
The liberals who had taken up arms in defence Of the
right Of the people to govern themselves and TO live
under constitution that guarantees political equality to
every citizen of the republic, unwilling to connde
the adjustment Of these sacred rights to foreign inter-
vention and mediation. . r
On the other hand the conservatives were unwilling
TO surrender their organization TO subject the govern
ment Of General Mramon any foreign Intervention
did guarantee to them the asccndency and tr
umph of principles which in direct anagonism with
the equality of the citizen and the form Of republican
| government. t..tt .r IL ..
At later period the governments Of France and Spain
| have both, with rormaity, renewed the
efforts which Great Britain originally made and the
same obstacles which rendered the efforts Of Great
Britain unavailing have attended these subsequent
| efforts.
am therefore instructed to inform you that all these
matters have been fully and duly considered by the
government of the UnRed States and that the policy
heretofore adopted by the liberals in their intercourse
with European Powers In relation to these negotiations
for peace has been approved ana oy ~ ana 'a'

against the will and sanction OF the people OF Mexico
and any forcibe Intervention by any Power which
looks 70 the control of the political destiny thereon.
This determination the part of the government Of
the United States has already been explicitly though re-
spectfully declared to all the Powers OF Europe.
Tic government OF the United States does not deny to
the European Powers the ght honorable warfare
for sufficient cause anywhere or against any nation
nor does deny their right 20 demand redress ior inu
their respective SUBJECTS ara, III need
be- 10 enforce such demands; but II does deny them the
risht 20 interfere, directly or indirectly, with the po-
cal Independence Of the republic of Mexico, and IL will
To the extent Of its power defend the nationality and
| independence OF said republic.
This settled policy Of the government Of tho United
States believe Is well understood by all the representa-
lives of Eqrorean Powers in Mexico 1t is also fully un
derstood and appreciated by the constitutional govern
ment al Vera Cruz; and under my Instructions, It be-
comes INV duty 10 have Il well understood by all those
who from their public character and the Circumstances
that characterize the political condt on OF The republic

and authority, In order that said policy may neither be
misunderstood misrepreseniod TO the prejudice OF

it viii recognize and support any government that Is
adopted and accepted by the Tree choice oil tho people
thereof and that Will always encourage ,he friendly
such result notwithstanding its resolution to abstain
from all direct participation in any such mediation and
