Synopsis

A Memorial Setting Forth The Rights And Just Reasons Which The Government Of The United States Of Mexico Has, For Not Recognising The Validity Of The Privilege Granted To D. José Garay: For Opening A Way Of Communication Between The Atlantic And Pacific Oceans By The Isthmus Of Tehuantepec, Nor — Jose F. Ramirez. This bilingual memorial, prepared by the Mexican government's Secretariat of Foreign Relations, defends the state's action to declare Garay's privilege null and void and to challenge the private and overseas transfers that followed. It traces the March 1, 1842 grant to Garay to open an interoceanic route, the subsequent extensions and legal controversies, including the 1843 extension, the 1846 decree, and the 1851 decree declaring the 1846 grant null. The document argues that Garay acted as a government agent, that private transfers violated the law, and that Congress alone possessed ultimate authority to ratify such acts. It condemns foreign speculation, emphasizes national sovereignty, and outlines how Mexico would safeguard future interoceanic projects under lawful terms. It is a historical-legal defense of state prerogatives in the Tehuantepec matter.
