Exctllent Sir His Excellency, tho

in exercise of the Supreme Exccu'iv
power, has seen fit to appoint me Ministc'i
of Foreign a'nd Internal Relations; also
authorizing me to discharge the most
urgent duties of (he, other departments,
as you will perceive by the note addressed
lo you b'y ihe President, which is subjoin

r By the same note your Excellency will
perceive that the Provisional: President

ment of the Union with the Governments V

and gfiod understanding between ihe Sup.
feme authorities of each State Iiarmony
without encroaching upon thro constittfiio&v .
al powers of the Stales, wilt only require
of them, in support of the constitution,
thai submission and respect which is the
basis of the federal compact, and without
which iheSupremc.Gov of the . Union '
would be impotent to maintain theNaiiom ,
al Uniou ai home,rand yet more impotent
to make the nationality of Mexico respect
ed abroad. The IJresident will not con
sent himself Wilh merely respecting, as it it
his duty to do, the independence conce.
ded by uhe coosiituiion to each State, re-
laiive to its internal, administration; but it
will, be gratifying for him to learn the

tion by iuch opinions legally expressed ifl
the difficult measures which his Administro

the danger and the gravity of circumstan,
ces, since, recent events . have, led to th
occupation of (he capital of ihe Republic
by the army of the invaders. All ihe mea- '
sures . of the War' Department,-will b
directed mainly to the attainment of tho
important ends above indicated. , ' . .
