The following Is a ciie u.ar iiUin The French Min
lister Of FuIeisa Affairs to the French Agents iii
soleiga ports, (.la.ed May ~ upon the subject Of
The recent Mouroc Doctrine resolution OF the Tan
kee Congress:
Gentlemen. The recent vote OF the House Of
KepIeSe naiivCs At Washing tOa, the subject OF
Mexico, has given iise 10 certain interpre Ialohs
Waich 1t will be aa we'll 10 fecity. The idea has
L aistI that this vote mlgi induce the United States
to adopt towards us new attitude, oil such nau Z
10 affect the cordial feelings existing between
the<ao countries, or, at any rate, To complicate
the Mexican question by cmbarraSsments arising
noin without. We need only, however, observe
the circ umstnnces under which The manifest alton
alluded took place 10 understand tha; the vote is
very far from possessing The importance imputed
To H. IL is doubtless the reflection Oi the feeling
carefully ios,efed by the Amercan press in the U
States which leads that people to consider as an in
direct attack upon their rights The most legitimate
Intervention oil European Power, On any point of
the American continent. Bnt we must consider
that in the United States above all Others, the
legislative assembly may Indulge In demOnstrI
tiJns OF this Chafactcr without p!edgng the Gov
eminent in any way OF forcing IL gulate Its
duct accordingly. The Imperial Government had,
tnerelo,s no reason to conceive any apprehension
oa Ills subject, even ii the incident had
| ecittd no explanation from the Federal
| Government hat the Cabinet at Washing
| ton has made IL a duty spontaneously 10 an
| ,icipate ana ooviaIe any unfavoTAbtc i'm
pressions that we might have formed from IL Mi
Dayton called upon nie To read a dispatch al
dressed To him by the Secretary of State for The
Union, fepudiatirs all responsibility the part OF
the Cabinet Of Washington In this mater, and es
,abi.shing the principle that vote of The ll"ise
OF Representatives OF OF the senate, or even Of
both Houses, while IL would naturally be a sub
rct tor the seiiOuJ attention OF The tabinet, could
not possibly oLigc IL 10 modify It's policy Or dc
Lrive IL OF lis lbcf " Oi action MIR seward sees
no reason ior adopting in the Mexican question
any ling OF conduct other than that which he mas
followed up to the present tlme4
answered Mr. Dayton that nothing, according
tn our ideas, could justify change that our Con
fience IN the wisdom and prudence OF the Ame
rican Cabinet great for us to suspect il OF
any thoughts ct compromising, by hasly acts,
| The true interests OF Inc United States La ex
| pressing TO Nj Dayton how much satlsiac tioa the
assurance he was commissioned to give mt caused
to the Government Of the Emperor, added that
thought In fact, that, even seen from the point OF
view OF The United States themselves, the choice
could not bs doubtful between the establishment
| Of a stable and regular Government in Mexico
and the perpetuatOn of an anarchy aud its at
tendant evils, which they themselves had first felt
the effects of AMI called attention to. Tho reor-
lgani alton OF great county, which the return OF
order and security Will bic 10 play an Import
ant eeonomica al part in the world, should be, for
the United States especially, real source of ad-
| vantsge, because ii opens for them new mar
| ket, and one by which they than any one
prosperity of Mexico corresponds will, their truest
| interests, aad l could rot believe that the
| Cabinet of Washington would recognize this
| truth. This answer 10 AT Daytons c0IDMunic
| tiop, and the fact ot this communication Itself,
must shaw you sufficiently in what light the Incl
deat On which now write TO you must be regarded.
