TREATY BE'1‘WEEN THE UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO.
In the name ofAlmighty God:
The United States of America and the
United Mexican States, animated by a sin-
cere desire to put an end to the calamities
of war which iinbuppily exists between
the two Republics, and to establish on a
solid basis relations of peace and friend-
ship, which shall confer reciprocal bene-
fits on the citizens of both, and assure the
concord, harmony and mutual confidence
wherein the two people should live as
good neighbors, have, for that..purpose,
appointed their respective plenipotentia-
ries; that is to say, the President of the
United Sates has appointed N. P. Trist,l
a citizen of the United States, and the,
President of the Mexiczin Republic has
appointed Don Louis Conzaga Cuevas,3
Don Bernado Coiito, and Don Miguell
lAristaiu, citizens of the said Rt-public,l
who, after a reciprocal commuiiication of
their respective powers, have, under the
protection of Almighty God, the Author.
of Peace, arranged, agreed upon and
signed the following Treaty of‘Peace,
Friendship, Limits and Settlement, be-
tween the United States of Ainerica and
the Mexican Republic.

out exception of places or persons.
V
ART. ll.-—Immediately on the signature
of this treaty, a convention shall be en-
tered into between a commissioner or
commissioners appointed by the General-
in-Cliief of the forces of the United States,
and such as may be appointed by the
Mexican Government, to the end that a
provisional suspension of hostilities shall
take place ; and that in the places occu-
pied by said forces, constitutional order
may be re-established, as regards the
political, administrative, and judicial
branches, so far as this shall be permitted
by the circumstances of military occupa-
Lion.

fication of the present treaty, by the gov-
ernment of the United States, orders shall
be transmitted to the cou.m:inders of their
land and naval forces, requiring the latter,

ratified by the Government of the Mexican
Republic) immediately to desist from
blockading any Mexican ports; and re-
quiring tlie former (under the same con-
dition) to commence a[. the earliest mo-
ment practicable, withdrawing all troops
of the United States then in the interior
of the Mexican Republic, to points that
shall be selected by common agreement,
at a distance from the seaports not exceed-
ing thirty leagues; and such evacuation
of‘ the interior of the Republic shall be
completed with the least possible delay;
the Mexican Government hereby binding
itself to afford every facility in its power
for rendering the same convenient to the
troops, on their march, andgin their new
positions, and for promoting a good un-
derstanding between them and the inhab-
itants. In like manner, orders shall be
dispatched to the persons in charge of

pied by the forces of the United
States requiring them (under the same

'tion; and such entire amount, deducting
gonly the cost of collection, shall de deliv-
‘ered to the Mexican Government, at the

the Mexican Republic by the forces of the
United States shall-- be completed within
three months from the said exchange of
ratifications, or sooner if possible; the
Mexican Republic hereby engaging, as in
the foregoing Articles, to use all means
in its power for facilitating such evacua-
tion, and rendering it convenient for the
troops, and for promoting a good under-
standing between them and the inhab-
itants. .
If, however, the ratification of this
Treaty by both parties should not take
place in time to allow the emburkation of
the troops of the United States to be com-
pleted before the eommencciuent of the
sickly season, at the Mexican ports on the
Gulf of Mexico, in such case a friendly
arrangement shall be entered into between
the General in-Chief of the said troops
and the l.\‘lexicun government, whereby
healthy. and otherwise suitable places, at
a distance from the ports not. exceeding
thirty leagues, shall be designated for the
residence of such troop_s as may not have
yet embarked, until the return of the
healthy season. And the space of time
here referred to as comprehending the
sickly season, shall be imderstoed to ex-
tend from the fii-st day of May to the first
day of November. ..
All prisoners of war taken on either
side, on land or on sea, shall be restored

of the ratifications of the Treaty. It is
also agreed that if any Mexicans should

States will exact the release of such cap-
tives, and cause them to _be restored to
their country.
ART. V.--The boundary line between
the two Republics shall commence in the
Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land,
opposite the mouth of the Rio Grandc,
otherwise called the Rio Bravo del None,
or opposite the mouth of its deepest
branch, if it should have more than one
branch emptying into the sea: thence up
the middle of that river, following the
deepest channel, where it has more than
one, to the point where it strikes the
'the space of one marine league from
southern boundary of New Mexico;
thence westwardly, along the wholel
southern boundary of New Mexico which
runs north of the town called Paso, (to its
western termination; thence northward
along the western line of New Mexico,
until it intersects the first branch of the
River Gila; (or if should not intersect
any branch of that river, then to the point
on the said line nearest to such branch,
and thence in a direct line to the same ;)
thence down the ‘middle of said brunch
and of the said river, until it empties into
the Rio Colorado; thence across the Rio
Colorado, following the division line be-
tween Upper and Lower California, to the
Pacific Ocean.
The southern and western limits of
New Mexico, mentioned in this article,
are those laid down in the map entitled
“Map of the United Mexican States, as
organized and defined by the various acts
of the Congress of said Republic, and con-
structed according to the best authorities.
Revised edition. Published at New York
in 184-7, by J. Disturnell.” Of which map
a copy is added to this treaty, bearing the
signatures and seals of the undersigned
Plenipotentiaries. And in order to pre-
clude all difficulty in tracing upon the
ground the limits separating Upper from
Lower California, it is agreed that said
limit shall consist of a straight line drawn
from the middle of the Rio Gila, where
it unites with the Colorado, to a point on
the coast of the Pacific Ocean—distant
one marine league due south of the south-
ermost point of the port of San Diego,
according to the plan of said port, made
in the year 1782, by Don Juan Pantojer,
second sailing‘ master of the Spanish
fleet, and published at Madrid in the year
1802, in the atlas to the voyage of the
schooner Sutil and Mexicana, of which
plan ii copy is hereunto added, signed and
sealed by the respective Plenipotentia-
ries.
In order to designate the boundary line
with due precision, upon authoritative
maps, and to establish an the ground land
marks which shall show the limits of both
Republics, as described in the present
article, the governments shall each ap-

press consent of the Mexican Govern-
ment.

made, .it should be ascertained to be prac-
ticable and advantageous to vonstructn
Road, Canal or Railway, which should, in
whole or in part, run upon the River Gila,
or upon its right or its left banl.',.witliin
either margin of the river, the govern-
ments of both Republics will form an
agreement regarding its construction, in
order that it may serve equally for the
use and advantage of both countries.
Aar.VII.—The River Gila, and the part
of the Rio del Norte lying below the
southern boundary'of New Mexico, being
agreeably to the Fifth Article, divided in
the middle between the two republics, the
navigation of the Gila and of the Bravo,
below said boundary, shall be free and
common to the vessels and citizens of
both countries; and neither shall, without
the consent of the other, construct any
work that may impede or. interrupt, in
whole or in part, the exercise of this
_right—-not even for the purpose of favor-
ing‘ new methods of navigation. Nor
shall any tax or contribution, under any
denomination or title, be levied upon ves-
sels, or -persons navigating the same, or
upon merchandize, or eflects transported
thereon, except in the case of landing up-
on one of their shores. If, for the pur-
pose of making the said rivers navigable,
or for maintaining them in such state, it
slionld be necessary or advantageous to
establish any tax or contribution, this
shall not be done without the consent of
both Governments.
The stipulations contained in the pre-
sent article shull not impair the territorial
rights of either republic within its estab-
lished limits.
Aar. VIII.--The Mexicans now estab-
lished in territories previously belonging
to Mexico, and which re-rain, for the fu-
ture, within the limits of the United
States, as defined by the present 'l're:ity,
shall be free to continue where they now
reside, or to remove, at any time, to the
Mexican Republic, retaining the property
which they possess in the said territories,
or disposing thereof, and removing the
proceeds wherever they please, without
their being subjected, on this account,’ to"
any contribution, or tax, or charge what-
ever. ,
Those who shall prefer to remain in
said territories may either retain the title
and rightspf Mexican citizens‘, or acquire
those of citizens of the United States.
But they shall be under the obligation to
make their selection within one year
from the date of the exchange of ra'tifi'ca-
tions of this Treaty; and those who shall
remain in the said territories, after the
expiration of that year, without having
declared their intention to retain the cha-
racter of Mexicans shall be considered to
have elected to become citizens of the
United States.
In the said territories‘, property of every
kind, now belonging to Mexicans not es-
tablished there, shall be inviolably respect-
ed. The present owners, the heirs of
these, and all Mexicans who may here-
after acquire said property by contract,
shall enjoy, with respect to it, guaranties
equally ample as if the same belonged to‘
citizens of the United States.
[In place of the following Article, the
Senate has inserted the third article of the
Treaty between France and the United
States, for the cessidn’ o'f L‘ouisiana,' which
provides’ that the inhabitants of the ceded
territory shall be’ admitted to all the-
rights and privileges of citizenship, in ac-‘
cordance with the principles of the Con’-
stitution, as soon‘ as Congress shall deter-
mine; and t'ha’t, in’ the meantime, they
shall be protected in’ the enjoyment of‘
their liberty, property and religious be-
