MEXICO--Treaty.] Primera secretaria de estado. Departamento del esterior. El Escmo. Sr. Presidente... el decreto... un Tratado de amistad, comercio y navegacion entre los estados unidos mexicanos y los estados unidos de america... Mexico City, 1 December 1832. 2 o (297 x 208 mm). 21 pages, printed in double columns in parallel English and Spanish. Unbound; red calf portfolio. FIRST EDITION of the second treaty between Mexico and the United States, negotiated in 1831 and ratified in Mexico on 1 December 1832. The Mexican government refused to conclude a treaty of amity and commerce until a boundary treaty was concluded, and that treaty, negotiated in 1828, was ratified the same day. The treaty has the interesting addition of a clause by which the powers agree not to incite hostile Indians to attack each other. Since Texas was then a part of Mexico, this treaty applies to trade with Texas as well, but Streeter fails to note a Mexican printing of the treaty, only listing the Congressional printing.
