Thus was the extraordinary spectacle presented
to the civilized world, of a government, in viola
lion oT its own express agreement, having twice re
jected a minister of peace, invested wills full pow
ers to adjust oil the existing difTerences between the
two countries in a manner just and honorable to
both. lam not aware that modern history presents
a parallel case, in which, in time of pence, one mi
dicn hen refused even to hear propositions from
another for terminating existing difficulties between
them.
Scarcely a hope of adjusting our difliculties,even
at a remote day, or of preserving peace with Mexico,
could be cherished while Paredes remained at the
head of the government. He had acquired the su
preme power by e military revolution, and upon the
most solemn pledges to wage war against the U. S.,
and to reconquer Texas, which lie claimed as a re
volted province of Mexico. He had denounced as
guilty of treason all those Mexicans who considered
Texas as no longer constituting a part of the terri
tory of Mexico, and who were friendly to the cause
of pearr. The duration of the war which he
waged against the U. S. was indefinite, becaus • the
end which he proposed, of the reconquest of Texas
was hopeless. Besides, there was good reason to
believe, from all his conduct, that it wail his inten
tion to convert the republic of Mexico into a Mon.
archy, and to call a foreign European prince to the
throne. Preparatory to this end, he hod, during
his short tale, destroyed the liberty of the press, tol
erating that portion of it only which openly advo
cated the establishment of a monarchy. The bet
ter to secure the success of his ultimate designs, lie
had, by an a bit• ary decree, convoked a Congress—
not to be elected by the voice of the people, but to
be chosen in a manner to make them subservient
to his will, and to give him absolute control over
their deliberations.
Under all these circumstances, it was '
believed that any revolution in Mexico, ,
founded upon opposition to the ambitious
projects of Paredes, would tend to pro
mote the cause of peace as well as pre-
vent any attempted European inter
ference
in the affitirs of the North Amer
ican continent—both objects of deep in-
Iterest to the United States. Any such
foreign interference, if attempted, must
have been resisted by the United States.
My views upon that subject were fully
communicated to Congress in my last
annual message. In any event, it was
certain that no change whatever in the
government of Mexico which would de
g prive Paredes of power could be for the
worse, so far as the United States were
concerned, while it was highly probable
that any change must be for the better.
This was the state of affairs existing
when Congress, on the 30th of May last,
recognized the existence of the war
which had been commenced by the gov
ernment of Paredes ; and it became an
object of much importance,
with a view
to a speedy settlement of our difficul
ties and the restoration of an honorable
peace, that Paredes should not retain
power in Mexico.
Before that time there were symptoms
of a revolution in Mexico, favored, as it
was understood to be, by the more lib
eral party, and especially by those who
were opposed to foreign interference and
to the monarchial form of government.
Santa Anna was then in exile in Havana,
having been expelled from power and
banished from his country by a revolu
tion which occurred in December, 1844;
but it was known that he had still a
considerable party in his favor in Mex
ico. It was also equally well known
that no vigilance which could be exert
ed by our squadron would, in all prob
ability, have prevented him front effect
ing a landing somewhere on the exten
sive gulf coast of Mexico, if he desired
to return to his country. He had open
ly professed an entire change of policy ;
had expressed his regret that he had
subverted the federal constitution of
1824., and avowed that he was now in
favor of its restoration. He had pub
licly declared his hostility, in the strong
est terms, to the establishment of a mon
'l archy, and to European interference in
the affairs of his country. Information
to this effect had been received from
sources believed to be reliable, at the
date of the recognition of the existence
