To his Excellency Senior Sebastian Lerdo
de Tejada Having arrived to-day at
QueretarO, | became aware that the pris-
oners condemned on the l4th inst. morally
died on Sunday last. 1t is thus that ali
the world will consider It; for all their
preparations TO die having been made on
that day, they waited during whole hour
to be taken to the place whence they were
to receive their death, before The order susl
pending the execution of the sentence was
communicated to them by means of the
telegraph. The humane customs ofour age
will not permit them, after having suffered
this horrible agony, to be put to death q
second time tomorrow. In the name OF
humanity and of honor, coniure YOU to
order that their lives be not taken and |
again repeat that | am certain that NV
sovereign, his Majesty the King of Prussia
and all the crowned heads of Europe,
united by ties of blood and kindred to the
Prince prisoner-his brother, the Emperor
of Austria his cousin, the Queen of the
British DominiOns; his brother-in-law,
the King of the Belgiaus and also his
cousins, the Queeaof Spain and the Kings
of Italy and Sweeden-will readily agree
to give his Excellency, Senior Don Benito
Juarez, all security that none of the pris-
oneTs shall again tread on Mexican soil.
