MEXICO, March 10, 1871.
The following is u translation or the opening ad-
dresses made before Congress this afternoon:-
PRESIDENT JuAREz TO TIE CITIZEN DEPUrIEs:--
You have been c0nvoked to an extra session by
the permanent deputation, and you nave repaired
sentatlves OF the people. | congratulate you and
congratulate the puDllc upon the fact that no ad-
verse event. such as have been frequent In trouDous
times, has prevented your reunion, and that none
Will come 10 interrupt your important deliberations.
IL Is due principally TO the good sense OF the
people, aided by The opportune measures OF the au-
thorles, that peace has been preserved throughout
the public with tie exception of single district In
the State OF Guerrero, where some revolutionary
bands continue 10 annoy defenceless villages; but 1t
Is TO be hoped that they VIII soon succumb to the
laws, as the forces OF the state and some OF the fed
Grafton pursuing them with activity.
The Legislature oil Jaisco has Informed the Execu-
tive OF the Union tnat Governor Antonio Gomez
Cuervo having concluded the constitutional period
OF his office. the government Oi the State Is charge
OF the president OF the tribunal of justice Of the
State. This event has put an end to the dlscord
which has existed between the executive and legis-
latlve powers of Jasco. should natter ourselves
Tor the patiotSm and Judgment OF the people of ia
Iisco and for the prudence and circumspecuon OF
their5utnoritles as well as for the prompt rebrth OF
public confidence and the consolidation Of peace IN
that important State OF the republic. With refer.
ence to foreign nations, our relations with friendly
powers continue In the best condition, and although
some nations have not reunited official relations with
us, this circumstance has not prevented the Execu-
tive from guarding well and carefully the good name
OF the republic, so that every foreigner, whatever
may be his nationality, may enjoy those guarantees
aud that protection which laws concede to those
who tread upon our national territory.
To ADJUST the forward march Of our institutions;
to secure the principles OF liberty which the nation
has conquered and TO consoldate permanent
peace are matters, citizen deputies, which demand
your earnest attention.
With yolr iuusrious patriotism you will designate
tue WnlCN 10 lnlS emu merit your special
consideration; but the Executive may be permitted
to recommend. among the grave questions which
are pending, that OF the constitutional reforms and
especially the reform OF those laws which take the
grade or fundamental laws OF the nation. which may
thus give stability to those great principles which
the people have conquered and which remove the
possibility OF law falsylng In part or nullifying
completely the saluiary effects or the reform.
Commence then, citizen deputies, your interesting
Deliberations with the assurance that the Executive
VINO hopes for everything from your patriotism.
Will give you Its cooperation, Carrying out your
wise resolutions.
CITIZEN PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC:-
Not without reason you call the laocrs which the
national representation OF Mexico to-day nauru-
rates interesting because they are especially dedi-
Gated to regulate the advance OF our Institutions to
secure the principles or liberty which the nation has
gained, to consolidate the peace which 1t enoys-for
the same purpose, In short, which you have recon-
mended for the attention Of this Assembly with SO
much illness.
1t listens with pleasure to the Information OF the
Executive on the tranquility which nearly all the
branches OF the federation ENJOY, because In this
great boon-wnich Will be appiauded equally by the
