Additional Details

A decree on the formation of an agency for internal colonization. It denounces the Texan rebels and the recent invasion by the United States, and hopes that military colonies on the frontier will help protect the republic. Texas is held out as an example of successful colonization, failing only because Mexico naively "abría sin recelo sus brazos a todas las naciones estrangeras en los primeros días de su existencia independiente' (opened its arms to foreign nations in the first years of its existence).
