Counterfeit Mexican dollars—Henry Matson
was lately arrested in New Orleans accused of offering
counterfeit Mexican dollars: but upon his examination, it
wasclearly provedathat these dollars were imported from
Mexico and had been received in good faith as genuine
coin. Dr. Riddel assayed several of the dollars, and found
that they contained 55 cents of pure silver and the- rest
copper. The testimony offered tenders h probable that
this spurious coin was actually issued from the Mexican

“Thee arms and equipments necessary for this invasion,” :
cptinues Mr. Bocanegra, "have been obtained in Mis-
souri, Illinois and Arkansas, provinces of the United
States This conduct is the more singular as Mexico is
known to have embraced every opportunity of demonstra-
ting her desire to preserve harmony between the two
countries, and as at this very period, she is effecting the
payments stipulated in the treaties of 1839 and 1843, with
that punctuality and good faith which nations should al- 1
' ways exhibit in the fulfilment of solemn agreements."
"The hostile expedition to which the undersigned al-

to him, inorder that he may transmit i he same to his l * 4 ** htih
goverment, that the government of Mexico, solemnly and
formally protests against the said invasion of New Mexi-
co, accomplished by citizens of the United States, as an !
act of direct hostility and contrary to international rights;
that consequently all the expenses incurred by Mexicoin
repelling this aggression, together with whatever preju-
dice or injury may result therefrom; will be claimed here-
after by the Republic which has a right to full and ample
satisfaction. To require such satisfaction as a right estab-
lished between two friendly nations, is another duty im-
posed upon the undersigned, and which he will fulfil.”
"This demand is sustained by common law, the laws
of nations, international' taw and the principles of rigid >
justice. Mexico’beholds one of her depaitments assailed

will of the aggressors; she beholds also the intention by . . .. «
