With sincere regret, tho uudeiaigned
finds himseV again obliged to ropot an at
tack made against himself persoually. and
against the nation which he has the hon
or to represent, by a body of men, who
whatever may bo their character asitxli
I !J ?? a A -tt ?? s_- a J
viduals, are entitled to respect in their rep-l
resentatire capacity. The Legislature od
the State of Moxioo hsb accounted It doco
rous and neeetfsaiy, to excite the executive:
of this Union to expel the ondehiigned j
from tho territory of the Republic. This*
suggestion is accompanied with reasons, i
wliich if well founded, ought to occasion a
cessation of all friendly rotations, both Com
mercial and diplomatic, between tho two
nations. As an American, the undersign
ed has seen with tho most painful emotions
this assumption of Executive prerogatives
by the legislature,?departing from the
course prescribed by tho constitution, and
violating the laws of nations. Why, then
afford a new pretext to the accusation so of
ten repeated, that the new States of this
continent are incapable of governing theiu
eelvcsl But with all the forbearance In
toning to a man who is not disposed to
criminate the inobnsiderato measures of a
youthful nation, and which certainly haVe
excited in his mind no other sentiments
than those of oompaasion, he owes it to him
self and his country, to reply,?not to the
arguments, for he has not been able to dis
cover any argument either in tho first pro
proposition or in the resolution of the Le
gislature of the State of Moxico,?but to
the extravagant notions which it has been
deemed fit and proper to publish to the
world, by means of a solemn Act. "
The .members of the Legislature of M

to compromise the national honor, we omit

fine ourselves, In the present Remonstaaco
to the discredit, and the prejudice, if any
one pleases to eaH it so, iuto whieh thfs
foreign functionary has fallon." So that
vulgar prejudices, and the fear which they
express, lest the national honor should bo
fimiislied by a catastrophe effected by po
litical AuiaUcism are the only motivea for
requesting theex pulsion of the undersign
ed.?Would it not have been moro deco
rous to ask the general government for tho
peoofs cf criminal conduct in a diplomatic

people! Who can believe that a foreign
minister is exposed to any danger In the
Mexican Renuhlicl Kucha threat can nei
ther alarm tho authorities of the country,
nor intimidate the undersigned: not only
because In the discharge of his duty ho
knows no fear, but also becaupo he relies
t?oti the

*tfy?tlons what their clime denies, and it ia
very natural to persuado themselves that
Mexico, in the enjoyment of the same polit
ical system, united with tho udvantigea qf
itn delightful tempefnture, the fertility of
iu soil, and the mild and docile character
of its inhabitants, will attract anMcrease of
population ami wealth, which will give it a
name ond preponderanee among the other
Republics of tho Continent. The North
American policy, so called, is contradictory
to our own* and it is for their Interest to pre
serve things hi tlieir present State, that
Mexico may offer no guarantees, nor any
kind of attraetives in its society, nor any
advantnges in Its departments of industry,
which can diminish the credit and aggrun
dlxt'mciit of that nation. On this principle
tlicy have to eatabliah their diplomacy iu
regard to ourselves, and their Agents must
fulfil their mission accordingly. Whether
this reasoning is well founded or not, cer>
tainly it is so understood by every one, and
henee the alarm, dUtiust and unfriendly
feeling iu the parties, and among all the
Mexicans."
If this matter stood as here represented,
this Republic ought not to permit any Agent
of the united States of America Ui reside
within its territory. But the supposition i?
entirely gratuitous and founded iu a total ig
norance of the relative position of the two
countries. Their productions, their indus
try, and their commerce, are so perfectly
distinct, that no competition can exist be
tween them Mexico certainly possesses
within itself ail the elements of greatness;
and no one ean take a more lively interest
in iu prosperity than the undersigned. ;He
earnestly deUree that those who govern it,
may give opportunity for the dcvclopement
of all Its resources, that it may become a
great and consolidated nation. In this con ?
dition, the two great Uepuhllcs of North
America, will contribute more to the pros
perity and security of each other, than they
can possibly do at present, and then t^e po
liticians of this country will be convinced
that there can be no competition between|
the two HepuMics. Mexico enjoys some
advantages which the United States do not
possess} and would present in other clrcum
Ec?, great allurements to European em
tst but nothing can be more erroneous
to suppose that the United States linve
an interest in diverting this emigration from
Mexico to their own country. The popu
lation of those States has increased, during
tho last 3a years, from about 4,000,000 to
13,000,000, although the emigrants from,
foreign countries since the Revolution have;
not exceeded 13,000souls per annum. It is
K" iin, therefore, that the losa of this troro
r. although it all went to Mexico, would
net injure the prosperity of theUnitcd States.
Without thia aid, the population of those
States, irom Ha naturalmereMe, at the rate
ot progression hitherto, srlH amount hi 1870,
i. v. in 10 yean, to the prodigious number
of 4^*000,000. Whence then can arise this
fear, which hi attributed to them, Of the ag
grandisement of Mexico* It has been seen
that it Is not Irrtm an apprehension ot hav
ing their population diminished {neither can
it be from u suspicion that Mexico will
edlnse theif commerce. Mexico mav one

to be sufiiciently circumspcct, appear inter
ested and as it proceeding from a studied
anxiety to make himself a party, to be used
as opportunity may dictate, for the accom
plishment of hU nee ret political design*."
This is certainly what may be culled a
new doctriue, and the diplomatic corps will
be surprised to learn that in order to escape
suspicion and exercise due circumspection,
they moot separate themselves entirely, or
at least not associate, with the inhabitants
of the country where they reside. The un
dersigned confesses tluit he had thought
differently; both iu rcspcct to the qutdific*
tions and conduct of foreign Ministers; and
ii, to be tolerated in this country, it is amen
tia! for a Minister to he rude, austere, and
distant in Ida manner*, aristocratieul in his
sentiments, and monarchies! in his princi
ples, it will be necessary to suspend all dl
filomatic relations between the countries,
or such churncters arc not found among the
public men of the United States.
The Legislature of the State oi Mexico
exprcnaci its surprise at the long continu
ance of the undersigned iu this country af
ter the rebellion of Tulanclngo and attri
butes it to dark and iwjtterlou* flur/ionct.
They wish to know how it is, that the Cab
inet of Washington has not rrculled Mr,
Poinictti or rather, that he ha* not in the
extrcke of due decorum, vctitntarllj rt tired
from the country. The Cabinet at Wash
ington regarded the affair of Tuluncingo at.
the movement of a faction in open rebellion
against the authorities of the country, mul
therefore, unworthy of its consideration:
and however diwtinguishcd were the men
who headed the rebellion, it* character and
the mode of conducting it, rendered it *u
i premely contemptible. With rcgunl to the
! voluntary permanence of the undersigned in
the United Mexican States, it is a little sur
prising that the legislators of Tlalpam, who
In the former paragraph consider them
selves so well acquainted with the duties
which belong to a good diplomatist, should
lie ignorant that Mr. Poinsett hi hert de
Sending uj*on the orders and dispositions of
is government. The undersigned was sent
to Mexico to conclude a Treaty between the
twolleiiubliscs; and does not consider him
self at liberty to leave his post, until he Ims
enectea tuat important object. He cannot, I
in thh place, reveal the progress ot the nc-!
goctations; nor the causes which have occa-'
stoned the delay. It is suflioicnt to wv, that'
lie hat urged this government again and
again to bring the matter to a compute de
cision, that he might he able to rctnrn t?
the United Stntes. So that his ucrmancncc
has nut been voluntary, nor the cflVct of
Hark and myterioui /lur/ioin. It liasheeu
occasioned by thedetuy of this government
in deciding on the articles concluded lon^
since, betweet||the Plenipotentiaries of the
two Republics.
The Legislature of Mcxico ir.nulrer,
"Would it not be most painful anil distres
sing, if in the fury of political fanaticism, a
catastrophe should result, which would tar-1
nish oar glory, and compromise our nation-'
af honor? I* It not, in short, nadly proved i
by history* that when an honorable and ea
sy remedy is not tc be found, thu mo?t vio-,
lent and criminal means arc employed?"?1
Whether It is the Intention of the LegUtu-1
tare, in presenting this alternative to intinti j
date, or to recommend Its adoption by the
people, the undersigned regards it with e-!
itual contemn! and renrnimtion. Hu con
fides, without fear* in the honor of the Mcx- I
lean people; ami consider* himself it* secure 1
in Mexico, as if he were in the capitol of
Washington. But he will suy to the Lc-!
gislnture of Mexico, that history <l< < . not
present an example like that which its,
members anticipate with so much compla*1
ceocv,??for it lint never occurred in ar.y
civilized country: and that such insinuation*
white they cutuminatc the character of n
magnanimous people, will excite the honor
and indignation of a whole civilized world.
The undersigned cannot take leave of the
Mexican people, to whom he direct* hi?
speech for thu 'ast time, without exhorting
them to remove from their minds uli suspi
cions against foreign nation* which profess
friendship. The deceit, concealmetit and
intrigue, wMch characterised diplomacy in
ancient times, arc no longer practised l>y

actions and thu most honorable conduct, a*

of this country, the Mexican people may
rely unon It that there In no natlou, either
