CIRCULAR NO. 105. J
1t h % reached the knowledge of this
department., tha', despite the severity
with which the law dealt with the offense
committee at No9ales last year By Colonel
Arvizie, like occurrences are being opera
ted along the frontier.
This not only discredits the nation and
results in disparagemeut of the
government, but may also occasion
International Disputes, all the more TO
be regretted since Mexico has ever been
careful to respect the rights of neighbour
ing nations, in order that they may re-
spect hers.
Therefore, under express consent of the
president of the republic, l recommend
that you advise the respective chiefs
subordinate under you to exercise con-
slant vigilance, to the end that the armed
troops under their orders, who are charged
with the preservation of order and to
give guarantee TO the citizens of those
localities and along the frontier, shall
comply strictly with their duties and
yield the most thorough obedience to
discipline. And you shall be responsi-
Bile for and avoid all classes of disturb
ances, above all such as call forth this
circular; and, should any transpire, you
shall punish the guilty parties as military
law provides. Liberty and constitution.
