It cherish- tib ed thi the most flattering hopes of attaining kehd by frank explanations and reason ings addressed to the judgment and pru- deAce of the virtuous and patriotic gov mht AC General Herrera.

Duty, honor, and dignity, placed us Jhcier the necessity of not losing a sea son? of which the monarchical party was fvtlakinjj advantage. As not a moment Zto ie'iost, we acted with a promptness ..nd decision suited to the urgency of the cas sin Order to avoid a complication of inti?rdsts which might render our relation morejdiifficult and ihvolved. -' Aiin: in the course of civil vrar, th government of General Paredes was over- hrown. We could not but look upon th:s s a fortunate event, believing that an ther ad ministration representing Mexicfi vould be less deluded, more patriotic, an ore prudent looking t6:th'e 'com mot Cood, weighing probabilities, strength, re ources, andabove all, the general opinio s to the inevitable results of the nationa var. We were deceived as perhaps you Vlexicans, were also deceived in judging f the real intentions -of General Sana Vnna, whom you recalled, and whom your government permitted to return. I Under this State of things, the Mexican lation has seen the results lamented by ill, and by us ; moatu siaerejy;. ' for.. iye ajj predate, as is due, thef valor and nobjje de ision of those unfortunate men who 'go u jattle, ill-conducted; worse cared for, and ilmost always enforced by violence de ceit, or perfidy. ! We are witnesses and we shall not be taxed with partiality, as a party interested, when we lament with surprise that the heroic behaviour of the garrison of Tera Cruz, in its valiant defence, has been as: persed by the general who had just been routed and put to shameful flight at Huena Vista by a force far inferior to his own: that the same general rewarded the insur gents of the capital promoters of civil war and heaped outrage on those who had just acquired for themselves singular distinction by a resistance beyond expec tation, and of admirable decision. 1 Final I, the bloody event of Cerro Gor do has plainly shown the Mexican nation what it may reasonably expect, if it Idnger continues blind o'its real situation a sit- " oeen oroHgnj . by some of its generals, whom it has most di. . , , , . . , imguisneu. ana in wnom it has most con fided.
