The General in Chief of the .Irmit of th e L-nited States of America to the xeij Wricoi. Mexicans; The recent events of the war, and the measures adopted in consequence by your government, r?!.i1ee it myduty te :ul lress vou lo show you truths of'which vou are ignorant, because they have been crimin ally concealed from you. I do not ask you to trust my words, (though he who has never falsified them bus a light to confi dence',) but to judge of these truths by facts within the view ami knowledge ef you all. Y ha lever may have been tl'e origin of this war,' which my country saw il$elf forced lo undertake by irremediably circumstances, which' I learn "are unknown to the g'eater part ef the Mexican nation, we regard it as a necessity ; such is it always lei both bellig erents, 3ntl reason and justice, if not forgot ten ein both sides are in dispute, each believ ing them its own. You have prejt f of this truth as we'll as ourselves, for in Mexico, as . - i in the United States, there Lave existed a"tl do exist two opposite parties, desiring the phe peace, the other war.,. But Governments have sacred eluties, from which they cannot depart; and often these duties impose, fur national reasons, silence and a reserve some times displeasing to the : majority of those who, from views purely personal or individ ual, make opposition. To this a Government cannot pay any regard, expecting the na tion to place in it the confidence merited bv n magistracy ol their own election. Reasons of high policy and of continental American interest precipitated events in spile of ihe .'.'circumspection of the Cabinet of Washington, which, ardently tiesiringio ter minate its differences wilh Mexico, spared no resource, compatible with honor and dignity, to arrive at so desirable an end; and when it was iHdiilginjj.the rilelst flatter ing hopes of accomplishing its' aim by frank explanations and reasonings,' addressed lo the judgmeut and prudence of the virtuous and patriotic Government of D. J. Ilerera, the misfortune least looked for dispelled this nbaasi:jithorje, and at the same . time blockeil up every avenue which could lead to honor able settlement between . tho' The new Government eliscardeel the nation al interests, as well as those of continental America, 3nd elected in pteferecce foreign influences the most opposed to those inter ests1 arid the most fatal to the existence bfMex ici.n liberty and oY the republican system, which the United States ho!d it a duty preserve and protect. Duty, honor and dig nity itself impose upon us the necessity of not losing a season of which Ihe monarchical party was taking violent advantage, lor not a moment was to he hist, and we acted with the promptness and decision necessary in a case so urgent, to avoid thereby a complica tion of interests, which might render our rela tions more. difficult and involved. Again, in the course of civil war the Government of Paredes was overthrown." ,W'e could not but hope this would prove a fortunate event, and that whatever oilier Adminisf ralion might represent ihe Govern ment, it vvould be. lesVdeluded, as well as more patriotic and prudent, if it looked to ihe common good,, weighing probabilities, lis own strength and resources, and especially the general opini'n. as toi the inevita ble're sVfts of a national war. We were deceived, as perhaps yu, Mexicans, were also eleceiv ed in judging of the true intentions of Gen. Santa Anna, whom you recalled, and vvhoni our Government permitted to leturn- From this condition of things the Mexican nation ha.'i seen what have been ihe results results lamented by all, and by us sincerely ; for we appreciate as is due the valor antl noble determinaliem of the imfort'ihates who go to battle ill-led, worse governed ami .al most invariably outraged by deceit or per fidy. .
