OrizGbd, Dec 1.-Mexicans: Circumstances
of great magnitude relating to the welfare of
our country, and which increasein strength by
our domestic difficulties, have produced in our
mind the conviction that we ought to reconsid-
er the power confided to us. Our Council of
Ministers by us convened, has given it as their
opinion that the welfare Of Mexico still requires
our presence at the head of affairs, and we
have considered it to be our duty to accede to
their request, announcing at the same
time our intentions to cenvoke a National Con-
gress ON a most ample and liberal basis, where
all political parties can participate; and this
Congress shall decide whether the Empire
shall continue in future, and in case of assent,
shall assist in framing fundamental laws to
consolidate the public Institutions. To obtain
this result, our counsellors are at present en-
gagged in devising the necessary means and
at the same time arrange matters in such a
manner that all parties may assist in an ar
rangement on that basis. In the meantime, as
Mexicans, counting upon you all without ex-
cluding any political class we shall continue
the work of regeneration with courage and con-
stancy, having been placed in charge of your
countrymen. NlffW HEFT 5lfDfi
