WASHINGTON, October 3O.-Colonel Lewis D..
Sampeen, The United States Minister to Mexico,
dressed to the Juarez Government, and with full
instructions, conforming in every respect with
INC irlpartlte arrangement, previously commu
RCated T. TO you between the United States
france, and the republic of Mexico.
Mr.. Campbell wall probably visit his home in
OHIO, en- route for Mexico.
Under the arrangement now perfected, Napo-
!ean ls TO commence the withdrawal of the
rrench army from Mexico next month, and
although he has year from that time to com
plete the evacuation Of Mexico, it is more than
probable that the whole army will be Withdrawn
DyDor before the FIRST of January next,
vi course, with the withdra wal of the French
army, Macmillan takes his departure, and the
tlnent ls ended.
1t is proper to state that this determination of
the political Government of Mexico has been
attained through amicable negotiations with all
parties interested.
In view of the great political changes antici-
pated in Mexico under the adjustment of her
governmental affairs brought about under this
management, and the weakness OF the Juarez
government, after the protracted wars that
have been forced upon it, to maintain its exist
ence IL has become impera'ive-in the interests
OIL all nations concern ed-that q stable Govern.
ment should be guaranteed to her by some re-
spOnslble power.
1t is possible that the term "guaranteedp is
Iatner strong 10 express the relations assumed
towards the Republic by the Government of
the Unlteo States; but the administration under
takes to extend TO the Juarez Government in
Mexico protectorate, which is to be opera
i've, hoWevef, only In case of an emergency
In palmer terms our army on the Rio Grande
and our feet in the Gull are to be held in
readiness to assist Juarez, should such assist
ance become necessary to him in establishing
his authority as President OF the Republic, and
IN bringing TO work IN full vieor the machinery
OF republican Government.
In order to an intelligent exercise of this DOS
sible, armed intervention, the Administration
mas determined to send with Minister Campbell
military officer OF high rank, eminent abilities,
and sound judgment clothed with power to act
IN Inc emergency referred to. Lieutenant
General w. L. Sherman is now spoken of in this
connection, and also Maior-General w. s. Han
cock. The responsible mission, 1t is strongly
indicated, has been rendered TO General Sher.
man, and there is reason TO believe that. he will
accept 1t; but should he decline General Han
cock will undoubtedly be sent.
6. ~ is no part OF the plan TO move any United
States force into Mexico until an occasion snail
arise 10 render such resort necessary. But it
ls hoped that the attitude assumed by the united +
States thus publicly, in sending an officer to
Mexico cloLhed with this mower Will be sufii- |
cleDt to overawe the various political leaders of
that country, and The numerous rival factions
that beset the land, and lead to unanimous
submission to and support of the only Govern
ment that has any pretenslons to regularity and
consttutionallty, or any ability to establish and
maintain itself.
In consideration of the friendly offices thus
assumed by the Government OF this country
towards Mexico, the Government of that coun-
try, which is thus recognized and established,
agree TO cede to the United States the territory
as heretofore communicated to you. The pre-
else boundary of the territory thus to be ceded,
is not possible at this time to give. But the
future southwestern boundary line of the United
States will probably leave the Rio Grande at or
near the point where it now does; but taking a
more southerly course, will run in straight
line to the Gulf of California striking that Gulf
at point south of Guaymas, so as to include
that important seaport within the limits of the
United States. We thus gain the whole of the
peninsula of Lower California, with the more
valuable portions of the States OF Sonora and
chihuahua, with all their immensely rich de-
posts of precious metals, the undisturbed navi
eatIon of the Gulf of California, and q much
shorter and more practicable route to the Pacific
coast.
