To-day Mr. Romero, who for several years past
has been the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenpotentiary of the Mexican republic in this
country, delivered his letters Of recall to the Pres
dent and made the following remarks on the occa-
SION
MI PREsIDENT-I have the honor TO place in your
hands letters addressed TO you by the Constltu-
tional President OF the Mexican republic, and 10 H.
form YOU OF my retirement from the position OF En-
voy Extraordinary ana Minister plenipotentiary OF
Mexico near the government OF the United states,
winch have had the honor 10 I'LL for several years.
In thus closing the mission which 1t has been my lot
10 hold in this city under many trying circumstances
l cannot refrain from expressing the profound
regret ! feel in concluding commission
which is filed with pleasant memories. On termi-
hating my Official relations with the North American
statesmen, in whose company II has been my happi-
ness to minge for many years and from whom have
received lessons never TO be forgotten, and leav
ing q country for which have the greatest admira-
ton and attachment, consider 1t my imperative duty
10 contribute as far as can apply Them the lessons
l have learned So as TO increase the well
fare and prosperity OF the country that
time prompts me to resign position which has been
as pleasant to me it is honorable. Ny constant
EFFORT in future VIII be to plant and foster IN my ma
natey flourish in this nation and constitute, IN my
opinion OF the principal causes OF the great pros
perity and wonderful development OF the United
States. The system OF government which has been
adopted by Mexico and other American nations was
States. Its results clearly demonstrate that such
system promotes the welfare and progress OF men.
e he States Continue D * pe
form the honorable and bene6cent part OF elder
sister to the republics that have followed her
example. Heretofore Mexico has been considered
and treated by European nations as semi-savage
State; and she Will ever remember with pleasure
that the United States was the first Of the strong
nations that initiated the wise policy OF treating
as the equal of other enlightened nations.
OF The Mexican republic to manifest to you
how much the government OF Mexico values the
friendship and good understanding Of the govern
ant 0lnn a of a at a N.
is its desire TO strengthen that friendship ana
The bonds OF political and social harmony that unite
fulhlment OF these wishes do no less than
tribute greatly 10 the prosperity OF Mexico and to
the consolidation and development OF republican In
situtions
To which the President replied as lollows:-
Mr. RoMnRo-The domestic perplexiues OF the
Mexican republic during the last i've years nave
been such as might have shaken the strongest and
firmest Of States The responsibilities OF minister
of that republic in this capital were IN due proportion
10 the perplexities OF the political SITUATION at nome
possess TO determine whether it would have
been III your power mad you remained In
Mexico 10 render more effective service TO your
country there than the services which you rendered
her here as her representative al Washington.
While your retirement from this capital Is occa-
sion OF personal regret IL Is, On the other hand,
occasion OF much satisfaction to see that your
eminent public services are duly appreciated
by your own government Mr. Romero, the
revolutionary movements which have lately
disturbed the United States and Mexico are,
i
both countries have survived their great
trials, and now hope to see constitutional liberty
even better assured IN the future IN ooth countries
Romero, the history of the relations between our
two countries during that period Is already
written. II, as | trust, the United States have
during these trials been faithful to the republican
OF America, and fast and friendly allies TO the
sister republic OF Mexico no new assurance OF
friendship and sympathy need to be given now. 1t
IL OF pleasure to me to know that personally
you will leave us with sentiments which could only
