Mr.. Seward in writing to Minister Motley September
g. 1853 says The United States not Indifferent to
the events which occurring in Mexico. While the
Governments Of those two countries not improperly
left any uncertainty about the sentiments Of the United
States the reported relations of member of the Imperial
family Of Austria to those events do not sufficient to
justify this Government in making any representations
that subject to the Government of the Emperor. His
and fairness towards the United States warrant
the President in believing he firmly does, that bis
Majesty will not suffer his Government to be engaged in
any proceeding hostile injurious the United States"
Thel Secretary thanks Mr. Motley for his interesting
summary of the recent movements at Frankfort for The
reorganization Of the States of Germany "The United
States entertain such cordial sentiments towards the
States of Germany, severay must forbid any proceed
ngs calculated to embarrass the just action Of either Of
them for its security aud advancement But this
feeling ought not to restrain from saying that every
effort to consolidate all the German States under eder
asm which would promote the common development and
progress of the entire fatheand would be hailed in this
country with profound satisfaction

of the kindgom may be averted without sacrifice of the
liberties Of its very enlightened and generous people

ward says The Congress of German princes st Frank
fort hiss cosed its labors The Austrian scheme has
ceved the sanction Of nearly all the princes and they have
joint lette, submitted it to the King of Prussia
for bis acceptance 1t is however manifest that it will
not be accepted and that the scheme must fail unless
Austria induce number Of princes to join in sepa
coDfederationa which, like secession in the
United States, would result in war; and hence it will not
be ventured upon
