Most Excellent Sir: — \\'i< Excellency the constitutional Pre- sident ad interim of the iiei)ul)lic has ordered the following de- cree to be published: THE CITIZEN BENITO JUAREZ, Constitutional President ad interim of the United States of Mexico, to all its inhabitants, know ye: That with the unanimous approval of the Cabinet, and CONSIDERING That the present war, promoted and sustained by the clergy, .
