The two instalments due in april and Luly 1844, in Jer lha Puc liar circumstances connected with them have been assumed by the United slates and discharged to the claimants but they Are still due by Mexico. But this is not All of which we Hare just cause of complaint. To provide a Rem Edy Lor the claimants Whoie aaes were not decided by joint commission under the convention of april the eleven a 1839, it was expressly stipulated by the sixth article of the convention of Ibe thirtieth january 1843, Ibal a new convention shall be entered into for the settlement of All claims of the government and the of the United states against the Republic of Mexico which were not finally Deci ded by the late commission which met in the City of Washington and of All the claims of the government add the citizens of Mexico a Amsl the United Stales. In conformity Wilh this Chi Pulatian a third convention was concluded and signed Al the City of Mexico on Ibe 20lh of november by Ibe plenipotentiaries of the two govern ments by which provision was made for ascertaining ail paying these claims. In january 1s44, this convention was Ratiee by the Senate of the United sidles with two Amcnda is which were manifestly reasonable in their character. Upon a reference of the amendment proposed to the government of Mexico the same evasions difficulties and delays interposed which have so Long marked the policy of that government towards the United slates. It has not even ret decided whether it would or would not accede to them1, although the subject has been repeatedly pressed upon its consideration. Mexico Bis thus violated second time the Faith of treaties by failing or refusing to carry into effect the 6th article of the convention of january 1643. I such Are the wrongs which we have suffered and patiently endured from Mexico through a Long series of years. So far from affording reasonable Satis faction for the injure and insults we have borne a great aggravation of them consists in Ibe fact that while the United Stales anxious to pre serve a Good understanding with. Mexico have been constantly but vainly employed in seeking redress for past wrongs new outrages were con stantly occurring which have continued to increase our causes of com plaint and to swell the amount of our demands. While the citizens of the United slates were conducting a lawful com Merce Wii Mexico under Ibe guaranty of a Irsay of Amity Commerce and Many of them have suffered All the injuries which would have resulted from open War. This treaty instead of affording Protection to on citizens has been the Means of inviting them into lha ports of Mexico that they might be As they have been in numerous instances plundered of their property and deprived of their personal Liberty if they dared insist on their rights.
