LOUIS-PHILIPPE Roi des Francais. Ordonnance du Roi qui prescrit la publication du Traité de paix et d'amitié conclu à la Vera-Cruz, le 9 mars 1839, entre la France et la République du Mexique. Au palais de Saint-Cloud, le 14 Août 1839. Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1839 8vo. 198x128 mm. Pages 6, numbered 313-318, 2 blank. At end seal with the Table of the Law impressed in woodcut. Good state of preservation. Important historical source. This treatise marked the end of the so-called 'Pastry War,' the French invasion of Mexico in 1838, the first French intervention in Mexico. The pretext was the devastation and looting of a French confectioner's store in 1832 by Mexican army officers. A fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Charles Baudin imposed a naval blockade of all Mexican ports; by December 1838, virtually the entire Mexican fleet had been captured and concentrated in Veracruz. Mexico then declared war on France. Out of fear of being caught up in the naval blockade, Texans organized a militia with the intent of patrolling the affected area, thus preventing smuggling. The United States of America sent the schooner Woodbury in support of the French naval blockade. With diplomatic intervention from England, President Bustamante finally pledged to reimburse 600,000 pesos to France. The French forces returned home on March 9, 1839.Ordinance published in 'Bulletin des Lois N° 674. 8vo. 198x128 mm. 6 pages, numbered 313-238, 2 blanks.
