Mr. Mejia to Mr. Nelson.

Citizen-Minister of Foreign Affairs: In reply to your communication dated yesterday, in which you are pleased to transmit that which you addressed the same day to the minister of the United States of America, announcing the appointment of a new military commander of the line of the Rio Grande, in the person of the Citizen-General Florentino Carrillo, and the instructions to be given to the said commander in order to maintain the most perfect harmony between the citizens of both frontiers, I have to inform you that the proper orders have already been given in the sense indicated in your note.

Independence and liberty!

MEJIA.
