the United States of Mexico, to exchange the Ratifications of the 1832 Treaty of Mexico of the 7th of March 1831; that, as doubts may possibly arise as to the precise meaning of the XVth Article of the said Treaty, which stipulates that "the Negotiations which may be entered into with the Court of Madrid or any other whatsoever, having for object the securing of Independence and Peace, shall equally include and comprehend the interests both of Chili and Mexico," the Government of Chili understands by the above clause, that neither of the 2 Contracting Parties shall be bound by what may be agreed upon between the other and the Court of Spain, without its special consent to be included and comprehended in the Negotiations, and that it is with this construction that the National Congress has approved the Treaty, and that the President has ratified it, in the name and on behalf of the Chilian Nation.

Although the Government of Chili believes the above to be the natural sense and meaning of the aforesaid Article, and has no doubt that it will be so interpreted by the Government of the United States of Mexico, it has judged it to be expedient, from the importance of the point to which it has reference, to make this Declaration, which the Undersigned is commanded to present to Señor Troncoso at the time of exchanging the Ratifications. The Undersigned begs to repeat, etc.
