INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS a. ere Y INTERESTING DOCUMENT. THH INSTUCTIONS oF THE HON. JAMES BUCHANAN, THE SECRETARY OF STATE, To THR HON. JOHN SLIDELL. ‘Darantuen or Stars, - Wasnuxaton, November 10, 1846. ied I tranemit herewith, copies of a despatch addressed by me under date the 17th September, 1845, to John Biack Esq., Consul of the United States at the city of Mexico, of a note written by the Consul to the Mexican Minieter for Foreign Affairs, dated October 13, 1845, end of the answer of that minister, under date Ootober 15, 1845. From these papers, you will perceive that the Mexi- cam government have accepted the overture of the Pre- sident, for settling all the questions in dispute between the two republics, by negootation, and that conseqveatly the contingency has ocourred, in whioh your acceptance of the trast tendered you by the President is to take effect. You will, therefore, repair without delay to your post, and present yourself to the Mexican govern iment, ag the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- tentiary of the United Stats, In the present crisis of the relations betwoon the two countries, the office for which you have been selected is one of gal importance. To counteract the iafluence of foreign powers, exerted against the interests of the United States in Mexico, and to restore those ancient relations of peace and good will which formerly existed botween the governments and people of the sister re- publics, will be the prin pal objects of your min- sion The wretched condition of the internal affairs of Mexico, and the misunderstanding that exists between her government.aud the ministers of France and England, seem to render the present « propitious moment for the accomplishment of these objects, From your perfect knowledge of the language of the country, your well firmness and «bility, and your taste ‘and talent ty, the President hopes t! you will accomplish our intercourse with the Mexican authorities Tho ready and deoided stand whioh the much in and people. peopie of the United States and thetr government took and maintained, in favor of tho independence of the Spanish American republics on this continent, secured their gratitude and good will Unfortunate events have tince catranged from ua the sympathies of the Mexican people. They ought to feel arsured that thelr prosperi ty is our prosperity, ond that we cannet but have the strongest desire to see them elevated, under a free, bie, aud republican goveroment, to # high rank among the nations of the earts, The netious on the continent of America, have inte- reste peouliar to themerlves, Their free forms of go- verument are altogether different from the monarchical institutions of Europe. The interests and indepen- dence of these sister nations, require that they should establish and maintain an American system of policy, for their own protection and security, entirely distinct from that which has ro long jailed in Europe. To interfere: on the part of European sove- relgas, with controversies ia America ; to permit them tow ply the worn-out dogma of the balance of power to the free States on this continent; and abcve all, to suffer them to entablish new colonies cf their own, intermingled with our frea republics, would be to make, to the same extent, a voluntary sacrifice of our independence. ‘There truths ought e throughout the continent «f America, t im- pressed on the public mind. If, therefore, ia the cousre of your negotiations with Mexico, that government should propose the mediation or guarantee of any European powe:, you are to roject the proposition witnout hesita- lon, The Usited States will never afford, by thoir oon- duct, the slightest pretext for any interference from that quarter in American concerns. Separated as we are | trom the Old World by a vast ocean, and still further re- moved from it by the nature of our political institution, the march of free governments on this continent must not be trammelied by tho intrigues and seifish interests of European powers, Liberty here must be allowed to work out its natural resulta ; and these, ere long, will astonish the world. Neither is it for the interest ot those powers to plant colonies oa this continent, No setilements of the kind can exist long. ‘The expansive energy Of free institutions must soon spread over them. The colonists themselves will break from the mother country to become free and independent States. Any European nation which should plant a new colony on thin continent, would thereby sow the of troubles and uproars, the injury from which, even to her own in- terests, would far outweigh all the advantages which she could possibly promise herself from any such establish- ment. The first subject thet will demand your at- tention is the claims of our citizens in Mexico.— It would be useless here to trace the history of these claims, and the outrages from which they tpring. The archives of your legation will furnish The history hort a period of 40 many wanton attacks on the rights of persons and property, as have been endured by citizens of the United States from the Mexican autuorities. never would have been tolerated from any nation on the face fs the earth, except from a neighboring and sister republic. President Jackson, in his message to the Sena! the 7th February. 1837, uses the following language, with great justice and truth: “The length of time since some of the injuries have been committed, the repested and unavailing applications for redress, the waaton cha- racter of some of the outrages upon the property and persons of our citizens, upon ‘he officers and flug of the United States, independent of recent insults to this go- vernment and people, by the late extraordinary Mexican minister, would justify, in the eyes of all nations, immo diate war.” Still, he was unwilling to resort to this last extremity, without “giving to Mexico one more opportunity io atone forthe pst, before we take redress intoour own nds.’’ Accordingly, he reoommended “that an act be passed authoriz'ng reprisals, and the uae of th yal force of the United States by the executive again Mexico, to enforce them,in the event of a refusal b; the Mexican government, to come to an amicable ed- justment of the matters in controversy between us, upon another demand thereof, made from on bosrd one of our vessels of war,on the coast of Mexico.”’ ‘This messege was referred to the Committee on For- cign Relations, which, on the 19th of February, 1837, Made # report to the Senate entirely in sccordance with the megsage of the President in regard to the outrages and wrongs committed by Mexico on oitizens of the United States. They recommended, however, that another demand should be made for redress upon th Mexican government in pursuance of the form required by the 34th article of our tresty with Mexico, anu the result submitted to Congress for their decision before actual hostilities should be authorized. The commit- tee say “after such a demand, should prompt justice be d by the Mexican government, we mey appesl to of ail nations, not enly for the equity and moderation with which we have acted towards # sister republic, but for the necersity which wil! then compel us to seek redreea for our wrongs, by actual war cr by reprisals. The sub- ject will then be presented before Cougress at the com- mencement of the next session, ine clear and distinct form, and the committee caunot doubt but that euch measures will be immediately adopted as may be neces- sary to vindicate the honor of the country, and insure ple reparation to our jojured feliew oftizens.”” ‘The resolution with which the report concludes, was on the 27th of February adopted by the unanimo: ‘The report of the committee on Foreign Affairs, made tothe House of Representatives on the 24th of February, 1837, breathes the same spirit with that of the Senate, In pursuance of the sugcestion of the Committes on Foreign Relations, of the Senate, @ special merreuger was sent to Mexico to make a final demand for redrees, with the documents required by the 34th article of the This demand was made on the 26th July, 1937. The an: wer to it contained fair promlses. How these were evaded jrom time to time, you will learn by an examination of the archives of your legation Finally, on the 11th April, 1839, a convention was con cluded “for the adjustment of theclaims of the citizens of the United States of America upon tho government of the Mexican Republic.” The Board of Commissioners was not organised under thie convention until the 26th August, 1840; and, under its terms, they were obliged to terminate their duties within eighteen months trom that dato. Four of these eighteen months were spent ia preliminery discussions, wi had arisen on objections, raised by the Mexican commissioners; and, at one time, there was great danger that the board would separate without hea or decid- ing a single case. It was not until the 2ith December, 1840, that they commenced the examination of the claims of our citizenr, Fourteen months only were left to exa- mine and decide upon these numerous and complicated er The claims allowed by the commissioners, without reference to the umpire, amount- principal and interest, to........+ The amount, principal and interest, subse- quently awarded by the umpire, was. ... $439,393 82 1,586,745 86 $2,026,139 68 The Mexican government findiog it inconvenient to pay the amount awarded, either in money or in an issue of treasury notes, according to the terzos cf the conven- tion, ® new convention was conluded between the two governments on the 30th January, 1843, to relieve that 0: Mexico from this embarrassment. Under its terms, the interest on ths whole amount awarded, was to be paid on the 30th of April, 19: and the principal, with the aceruing interest, was made payablo in five years, in equal instalments of three months Under this new agreement, made to favor Mexico, the claimants have yet received only the ioterest up to the 30th April, 1843, and three of the twenty instalments, But this is not all. There were pending before the umpire, when the commitsion expired, claims which had been examined and awarded by the American commie- sioners, amounting to $928,627 88. Upon these he re- fused to decide, alleging that his authority had expired ‘To obviate this injustice, and to provide for the dect- sion of other olaims of American citizens, amounting to $3 336,837 05, which had been eubmitted too late to be considered by the board, # third convention was sign- od at Me h November, 1843, by Mr. V dy Thompson, onthe part of the United States, and Measrs. Boca nd Trigueras onthe part of Mexico Oa the 30th January, 1444, this convention was ratified by tho Senate of the United Stater, with two amend- ments. The one changed the place of mesting from Mexico to Washington ; and the other struck out the sixteenth article, waich referred the claims of a pecu- niary nature, that the two governments might have against each other, to the commirsione:s,with an appeal to the umpire in case a majority of them could not agres These amendments were manifestly reasonable end necessary. To have compelled the claimants, all of whom are citizens of the United States, to go to Mexico with their documents and testimony, would, in a great degroe, have frustrated the object of the commiasion. — Besides, the new commission was, in fect, but a contiau- ance of the old one; and its duties simply were, to com- plete the bueiness which had been left unfinished in the city of Washington, It was new in the history of soversiga na- toms to refer thelr P § board compoaed of thelr own citize to a Milject appotatad hy » forge ao Fedgtt sides, it hover had been suggested that either of the two governments had claims upon the other, or that thero were any claims in existence except those ef American | would vigorously interposs to prevent citizens on Mexico. It ts diffloalt to conceive why thin convention, depart- ing frou that of the 11th April, 1829, should have em- bracedany such provision; or ‘shy it should have stip States, when no suca claims exist. Upon a reference of these amendments to the govarn- ment of Mexico, it interpored the same evasions, diffl oulties and delays, which have always characterized its policy towards the United States. It has never yet de- cided whether it would, or would not, accede to the: sltbough the eul its consideration by our ministers: The result of the whole is, that the injari rages committed by the authcrities of Mexico on Ame- | tion of ceding it to one or the other tual sisime to the arbitramant of ! the go with an aopent The Ge | Larktea, hag, oor ity of soversign States forbade such aproceading.

But in what mannor can this duty be performed con- siatently with the amicable spirit of your mission? The fact is, but too well kaown to the world, that the Mex!- can goveroment are not now in a condition to ratiafy these claims by the pnymentof money. Unless the debi should be assumed by the government of the United States, the claimants cannot receive what is justly their due, Fortunately, the joint resolution of Congress, ap- proved March Ist, 1845, *‘for annexiog ‘Texas to the United Ststes,’’? preaents the means of satistyiog these claims, in pertect consistency with the interests, as well a the honor, of both republics, It haa reserved to this government the adjustment “of all questions of boun- dary that may arire with other goveroments” ‘hiv question of boundary may, therefore, b» adjusted in ruch® manner between the two republics, 2s to cant the burdenof the dobt due to American claimants, on thelr own government, whilst it will do no injury to Mexico. Io order to arrive at a jastconclusion on this anbjest, it is necossary briefly to state what, ab present, are the torritorial rights of che parties. The Congtens ot Texas, by the aot of December 19, 1836, have declared the Rio Dol Norte, from its mouth to {is source, to be # bouudary of that republic. In regard to the rizht of ‘Texas to the boundary of the Del Norte, from the mouth to the Paso, thera cannot, it pprebended, be any very serious doubt. [t would bs easy to establish, by the authority of our mort eminent statesmen. time, too, when the question of the boundary, of the province of Louisiaua was better un- derstood than it is at present—that, to this extent at least, the De} Norte was its western limit. Mess:s. Mon- roo and Pinckney, iu their communications of January 28,1805, to Don Pedro Cevalios, then the Spanish Minis. tor of Foreign Relations, asserts’ in the strongest terms, that the bounderies of that provinee “ are the river Per- ido to the e eed the Rio Bravoto the west.” They say, * The facta and priaciplos which justify this conclu- sion, are so ratirfactory to our government, as to con- vince it that the United States have not a better right to the Irlavd of New Orleans, under the cession reforred to, (that of Louisiana) than they have to the whole district of territory which is above ‘described. Mr. Jefferson was at that t'ma President, and M Madison Secretary of State; and you will know how to appreciate their authority, in the eubsequent negotiation with M. Cevailo, Messrs Monros and Pinck- ney conclusively vindicate the right of the United States us far west ax the Del Norte. Down to the very con- clusion of the Florida treaty, the United States asserted their right to this extent—not by words only, but by deeds. In 1918,this goveroment heaving learned that a number of adventurers, chiefly Frenchmen, had land-d at Galveston, with the avowed purposes of forming a set- tlement in that vicinity, despatched Georgs Grabam, Es with iostructions to warn them todesist. The following is an extract from these instructions, dated 2d June, 1818: The President wishes you to proceed, with all convenient apaed, to that place (Gelveston), un- leas, as.is not improbable, you should, in the progress of the journey, learn that they have abandoned, or been driven from it. Should they have removed to Mata- gorda, or any other place north of the Rio Bravo, and within the territory claimed by the United States, you will repair thither, without, however, exposing yourself tobe captured by any Spanish milivary force.’ When arrived, you will, ina suitable manner, mak known to the chief or leader of the expedition, your authority from the government of the United States; and expre surprise with which the President has seen pose thustaken, without authority from the United cf @ place within their territorial limite, and upoa which no lawful settlement cam bé made without their sanction. You will cail upon kim explicitly to avow under what national authority they profess to act, and take care that du ning be given to the whole body, that the place is within the United States, who will sut- fer no permanent settlement to be made there, under any suthority other than their own.” It cannot be doubted that the Florida treaty of 224 February, 1519, ceded to Spain oll that part of ancient Louisiana within the present limits of Texas; and the more important inquiry now is, what is the extent of the territorial rights which Texas has acquired by the sword im a righteous resistence to Mexico. In your no gotiations with Mexico the independence of Texas must be considered @ settled fact, and is not to be called ia queation. ‘Texas achieved her independence on the plain cf San Jacinto, in April, 1836, by one of the most decisive and memorable victories recorved in history. She then convinced the world, by her conduct ard her courage, that she desrrved to rauk as an independent nation. ‘To ‘use the languages of Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, in a despatch to our Minister at Mexico, dated sth July, 1842: “ From the time of the battle of San Jacinto, in April, 1836, to the present moment, Texas has exhibited the same Mexico herself, and with quite as muc® atebility of go- verament. Practically free and independent; xckvowls edged as & political sovereignty by the principal power ofthe world—no hostile foot finding reat within her t ritory for six or seven years; and Mexico herself refr: ing, for all that period, from any further attempt to we tablish her own authority over that territory,” 0.) Ke. Finally,on the 29th March, 1815, Mexico conrented, inthe most solemn form, through the intervention cf the British and French governments, to acknowiedss the independence of ‘Lexus; provided rhe would stipu- late not to annex herself, or become eu! jeot to any coun- iy | whatever. it may, however, be contended on tha pari of Mexico, that the Nueces, and not the Del Norte, is tha tus western boundary of Texas, I need uot furnish you er- guments to controvert this position. and know that the jurisdiction of Texas has been ex- tended beyond that river, and that representatives from the country between it and the Del Norte heve partici- ted in the delibeFations both of het Congrees aud her Convention. Besides, th embraced within the limics of ancient Louisiana Pho case indifferent with regard to New Mext Santa Fe, its capital, was settled by the Spani thau two centur! “ee ‘ds more # 2g, aod that province hes bren ever since in their possession wud that of the republic of | Mexico, The Texans never have conquered or tak poesersion of it, nor have its peoplo ever been represent. ed in any of thelr legisiative asseaiblies or couventions Tho long and narrow vallry of New Mexico, or S Fe, in rituas aad is bound-d on both sides by mountains. 1¢ is many hundred miles remote from other ssttled portions o/ Mexico; avd from its distance, it is both ¢! expensive to defend the inhabitants against the tribe. of fierce and warlike savages that roam over the sur- rounding country. From this cause it has nuffered se- verely from their incursions. Mexico must expend far more in defending so distant a possession than ple cur porsibly derive benefit from coutinuing to bold it Benides, it is greatly to bu denired] that our boundary with Mexico should now be ertablished fa such as mman- ner as to preclude all future difticulties and disputes be- tween the tworepublios. A great portion of New Moxi- 0 being on this side of the Kio Grande, and incladed within the limits already claimed by Texss, it may here- after, should it remain a Mexican provinces, become a subject of dispute, and a source of bad feeling betweea pe trust, are destined in future to be always riends On the other band, if, in adjusting the boundary, the province of New Mexioo ehould be inciuled within tho Nmite of the United States, this would obviate the den- ger of future collisions. Mexico would part with a re- mote and detached province, the possession of which can nover be advantageous toher; and she would be re- lieved from the trouble and expense of defending its in- habitants against the Indians, Besides, she would thus purchase eecurity from th tacks, for her other pro- ‘vin ces, west of the Del Norte, as it would at once be- come the duty cfthe United States to restrain the sa- » rage tribes within their limite, and prevent them from | making hestile incursions into Mexico. From these considerations, and others that will readily saggeet themselves to your mind, it would seem to be equally the interest of both powers, that New Mexico should belong to the United State But the President desires to deal liberally by Mexico Youare therefore authorized to offer t arsume the pay- ment of ail the just claims of our citizensagainss Mexioo, and, in addition, to pay $5,000,000 ia cas» the Mexican goverament sbail agree to establish the boundary of the two countries from the mouth of the Rio Grands, up the principal stream to the point where it touches the line of New Mexico; thence weet of the river along the exterior line of that province, and so as to include the whole wi:hin the United States, until it again intersects the river; thence up the principal stream of the same to ite couree, and thence due north until it intersects the forty-aecond degree of north latitude, A boundary still preferable to this would be an exten- sion of the line from the north-west corner of New Mex. ico, along the range of mountains until it would inter. sect the forty-second parailel. Should the Mexican authorities prove unwilling to extend our boundaries teyond the Del Norte, you sre, in that event, instructed to offer to assume the pay- ment of the just claims of ci'izeos of the United gainst Mexico, should she agree that the line shall bo established along the boundary defined by the act of Congress of Texas, approved December 19, 1836. to wit; beginning at “the mouth of the Rio Grande; thence up the principal stream of said river to itssource; thenes due north to the forty-second degree of north latitude ” It is scarcely to be suppesed, however, that Mexico would relinquish five millions of dollars for the sake of retaining the narrow strip of territory in the velley of New Mexico, weat of the Rio Grande; and thus p under two distinct governments the amail settient closely identified witn each other, on the opposite banks of the river. “Besides, sil the inconveniences to her from holdiog New Mexico, which | have pointed out would be seriourly aggravated by her continulrg to hold that small portion of it which lies west of the river Thero is another subject of vias importance to the United States, which will demand your particular #/tea- tion, From information pesreased by this department it Is to be aerlousl, ended that both Great Britain ‘and France have pon California, The views of You have been | perfectly famtiiar with the suijecc from the beginning, | portion of the territory wes | 4 on both banis of the Upper Del Norte, | ult and | | | Feprosches with equanimity. ternal signs of national indepsndence as | j; The popsession of the bay and harbor of San Francisco in all important to the United States) The advantages to 0 } Pe peptone SA of its acquieltion are so striking, that it would ba & wants of time to enumerate them hero.

Another Minister to Merico. Mr. Attorney General Clifford has just been appointed joint commissioner with Mr. Sevier, with equal powers, to proceed to Mexico for’ the purpose of procuring the ratification of the treaty by that government. This appointment das caused no small suiprise. It is universally laughed at; and while Mr. Polk thinks his ob- | ject 18 wholly unknown, every body sees in it an b attempt to conciliete Mr. Woodbury and his friends, in whose support Mr. Clifford has mani- tested no common zeal. As to the gentleman’a ness for a diplomatic station, the less said, thaps, the better, It would be doing injustice to Mr. Polk’s penetration to suppose that fitness was lora moment considered in connection with the appointment. Mr. Clifford sets out with the treaty to-mor- .morning. Mr. Sevier will follow as soon as his health will permit. GALVIENSIS. Wasuincron, Mareh 19, 1818 Evening Memoranda.

But startling as was thia flashing of the Inght- i m the Catubria, there wes an excitement ated from another which has thrown even the news fron ran into the shade.

So high runs the current of indignation and wrath to-day, that if the person or persons im- slicated in the publication of this extra, could be identified, they would be impalea and quartered alive. The thing was doubtless gotten up as a speculation, and has succeeded ; but if the spe- culators are found out, it will spoil the protits of the job. Mr. Clifford, late Attorney General, appoint- d and confirmed so unexpectedly to every body ns well as himself, jo.nt commissioner with evier, to Mexico, left last night with Mr. Secretary of Legation, for Queretaro.— Mr. Sevier expects to be well enough to fol- low intwo or three days.
