Mr. Ruelas to Mr.
Neill.
Department of Foreign Affairs, Mexico,
March 20, 1880.
Sir: Your note dated the 17th instant,
inclosing copy of a communication from the Department of War of the
United States to the General in Chief of the Army, announcing the
revocation of the order of the 1st of June, which authorizes the passage
of American troops into Mexican Territory under circumstances which it
describes, has been received.
The President has been informed of that measure, which was dictated by
the Government of the United States in justice to Mexico, and sees in it
a proof of the desire that the relations between the two republics may
be sincere and cordial.
As the Government of Mexico participates in the same sentiments, I have
the honor to state it to you, upon replying to your said note, to whom
it is pleasant for me to-reiterate upon this occasion the assurances of
my attentive consideration.
