Judgment not only to thwart this scheme but to
prevent rebel armed vessels from finding shelter
IN Mexican ports and from carrying arms through
the territory of that republic. The defense Of the
Mexican sovereignty is urged upon the attention
of that Government and the declaration made
that the United States does not desire to acquire
any part Of Mexico On the 9Th of June Mr.
Corwin informs Mr.. Seward thas il had been MS
constant endeavor since his arrival at the City of
Mexico to possess the Mexican mind of the true
case of our difficulties and thus enable them 10
estimate the danger which would result from any
unfavorable termination OF them
He was quite sure that when the Mexican Gov
eminent would endeavor TO preserve relations
with all European powers on fair terms she would
succeed. Ii regarded the United States as its
true and only reliable friend In any struggle
which might involve its national existence. To-
ward the close of July Mr.. Corwin, in the course
Of his dispatch. incidentally remarked that Europe
is quite willing to see us BUNDLED, and viii not
fail to take advantage Of our embarrassments to
execute purposes of which she would not have
dreamed had We remained at peace. This was
said with reference to the joint Intervention Of
England, France and Spain in the affairs OF
Mexico.
Mr.. Seward, writing to Mr. Corwin on the ID
of Seotember. assures him the President greatly
desired that the political status of Mexico as an
independent n0uOn permanently fnAn
tain, and in December, after speaking OF the
joint intervention. informs him that the Govern
ment can not consent to his returning from Mex
leo as desired.
Ii is knawn that Mr. Corwin negotiated a
treaty With Mexico, but the Senate rejected II on
the ground that IL was not advisable TO assume,
as was proposed, any portion of the principal or
interest of the debt Of Mexico which would re-
quire the commerce of the European powers.
In communicating this result TO Mr.. Corwin
Mr.. Seward says, April 3, under these circum-
stances the President is unable 10 suggest to you
any other mode for contributing To the deliver
ance Of our sister Republic from the embarrass-
ments by which she is surrounded which will be
acceptable TO the Senate. Meanwhile desire to
direct your most earnest attention To the neces-
sity of guarding. if possible. against any such
pledge of the resources of Mexico TO foreign
powers might affect our cause iniurously or
impair the ability of the people of Mexico 10
sustain the free Government established 10y their
own choice. You will not leave the Government
of Mexico in doubt for a moment that the Gov.
crnment of the United States is not Indifferent u
the perils by which they are menaced.
