In the course of tho instruction Secretary Seward
You may possibly meet agents OF this projected

Mexico that the President neither has havc

In Niev Of the PTes.dents cmer and political habits, and

And again Mr. Seward says
The President would regard it as inconsistent with his
habtialy high consideration for the government md
people Of Great Britain u allow 10 dwell
longer the merely commercial aspects OF tho ques-
on under discussion. Indeed, he will not FOR moment
believe that upon the coEridci alton Of merely financial
gain the government could be iadaced 10 lend its MD
revolution dcsgcd 10 overthrow the institutions OF
this country, and involving ultimately the destruction Of
the liberties of the American people.
The President viii not dwell on the pleasing recollection

kei attention 10 the United States, her desire
