MI. SECRETARY OF STATE:
l have received an answer to the dispatches with
which | had scot TO Vienna the note you did me the
honor 10 address 10 the 2Ist December last: and
hasten TO inform you, Mr. Secretary of State that the
arguments contained in your have not had power
to change The judgment which the Imperial Cabinet
had formed respecting the mission of Mr.. Dudley
Mann, we'll respecting the tenor and the terms of
the instructions with which he was furnished The
Imperial Government does not entertain the
opinions contained in my note OF the 30ih September;
ard il declines all Interior discussion of that annoying
incident, unwilling 10 expose the kind and friendly re-
lat IONS Which it desires to preserve with the Govern
lnent OF the United States 10 the danger OF being Sc
,iously disturbed by discussions which could have no
practical result.
President Fillmore declared. in his message of the I'd
December last, that he determined to act towards
other nations as The United States desired that other
nations should act towards them and that he had adopt
ed as rule for his policy, good will towards foreign
Powers, nd the absaining from interference in their
internal affairs. Austria has not demanded and will
never demand, anything but the putting into practice Of
these principles, and the Imperial Government is sin
ceely disposed 10 remain in friendly relations with the
Government OF the United States long as The United
States shall not deviate from these principles
Please 10 accept, Mr. Secretary OF State the assur-
ances OF my kind consideration.

FROM SANTA FE.-Lieut. Thomas, OF the U. 8. A..
arrived at Galveston the 9th inst, by the steamer
Yacht being direct from Santa Fe, by way OF Chihua-
hua Ell Paso, and Saitllo.
Since Lieut.. Thomass arrival at Galveston he has,
received letter from Ell faso, dated since he left tina
place. The following is extract from it:
"The commissioners tjointly) have fixed the starting
point We have secured the copper mines and large
tract ofcountry the ella, which did rot expect.
Col Craig starts for the copper mines on the 10th jan
uary to establish a post.
The point established, says the Galveston News is
the intersection othe sd parallel OF latitude with the
Rio Grande which is about Is miles north of Ell Paso
From this point the treaty provides that the line shall
run due TIL it strikes some branch oil the ella and
thence follow that stream to its junctue with the Colo
RADIO. In case said line should strike the ella or
any of It's bt anches, it is then to proceed west ill APP
proaches the Learest point TO the ella, from which
point the boundary is then to due north to the ella.
1t is ascertaned that the only branch of the CHA
the westerly line strike, connects with the Gila
some fifty hundred miles west of the copper
and gold mines, and runs in northwestesy direction,
leaving the mineral region considerably within the
United States.
1t is YET doubtful the News adds whether this west
line will eyen strike this branch oithe ella at al
which it will have TO little beyondsjhe meri
dian oil l09 degrees west, which is the nesest point to
the main body OF the Gila being about 100 miles to the
south. This boundary is considerably to the south Of
the actual boundary OF New Mexico, understood by
the Mexcans, and takes in large portion OF the tSt
try that has always belonged to the State OF Chihua

The gold and copper mines appear by the map TO
be nearly on the old boundary between New Mexico
and Chihuahua, and about $50 or 200 miles the
