from the date Of the aforementioned commupIosiio.
Secretary Seward says under date Of Sept "a laS1
"Iho United States hold in regard to Megco the sams
principles that theS hold in regard to all other nomns
tons They have neither tight the disposition "a

whether to establish and maintain republic or even
domestic government there. or to overthrow an mperiS
OF foreign one n Mexico chooses TO establish or acoe
it. The United States have neither the fight nor t
disposition to intervene by force on either sdo In ths
lanentable war now going on between France aai
Mexico.
On the contrary, they practice in regard to Mexon
in every phase of that war; the nonntervention whoi
they require all Foreign Powers to observe In regard =
The United states But. Notwithstanding this self
restraint this Government knows full well that the in
herent normal opinion Of Mexico faYors government

that this normal opinion Of the people of Mexico 70
suited largely from the influence OF popular opinion II

The President believes moreover that this populss
opinion in the United States is just in itself and emf
nently essential to the progress of civilization the
American continent which civilization he believes oaq

ever.increasing activity Of the material. moral an(
political forces which peculiarly belong IN the Amercas
continent Nor do the Uned states deny that In theh
opinion, their own safety aud the cheerful destiny q
which they aspire are intimately dependent on the
continuance Of republican institutions throughout
America.
They have submitted these opinions to the Empera
Of France on proper occasions worthy Of his serio
consideration in determining how be would conduct and

1t necessary to practice reserve upon the point that
France should, upon due CONSIDERATION determlns

Mi..ster Dayton, IN a communication to Secretary
Seward dated October last, speaking Of conversation
with NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys, says the latter remarked
him "tha the early acknowledgment ofthat Government
by the United States would tend TO shorten or perhaps
be said to end, all the trorb!esome complications q
France in that country; that they would hereupon qu

without any authority from my Government to say SO
7 should scarcely suppose that France, under tnS
circumstances, would expect the United states
make haste TO acknowledge new monarchy ID
Mexico but that would report his views to the Gov
ernment at home; not suggesting. however that any
answer would be given. In the course OF oonyersao1
he took occasion to repeat voluntarily disclaimer
every purpose to interfere with Texas or 10 make o.
seek any permanent interest or control in Mexico. e

attempting 70 interfere with u.s.
The dispatch of Secretary Seward TO Mr.. Dayton
dated Oct 90 1863 contains the following sentences:
1.-THE United States when invited by Fraece or Mex
leo cannot omit to express themselves WITH perecs
frankness upon incidents they occur In the prog
ress Of that war NJ. Drouyn de Lhnys now speaks q
an election which he expects 70 be held IN Mexico and
to result In the choice Of his Imperial Hghness TN
Prince Macmillan Of Austria, TO DO Emperor o
Mexico.
declared bis willingness to accept imperial throne
Mexico on three conditions namely: First that be
shall be called to II by the universal suffrage OF ths
Mexican people, Secondly that he shall receive inds
pensabe guarantee for the integrity and Independence
of the proposed empire Thirdly that the head OF hi
family the Emperor OF Austria, shall acquesce. R6
ferring 10 these facts NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys intmata
that an early OF the proposed empire By
the L. States would be convenient France by relieving
her sooner than might be possible under other crcu
stances from her troublesome complications IL Mexico
Happily the French Government has not been left unn
formed that in the opinion Of the United States the
permanent establishment Of foreign and monarohica
Government in Mexico viii be found neither easy nos
desirable You viii inform NJ. DroDyn de Lhuys tbat
this opinion remains unchanged.
"On the other hand the Uuited States cannot an
tcpate the action Of the people Of Mexico nor have
they the least purpose desire to interfere with the
proceedings control interfere with their free
choice or disturb them in the enjoyment OF whatever
institutions OF Government they may In the exercise d
an absolute freedom establish 1t Is proper also that
NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys should be informed that the
United States continue TO regard Mexico tho theatei
Of a which has not yet ended in the subvcrsion
Of the Government long existing there, With
which the United States also remain In tue
relation of peace and sincere friendships and that os
this reason the United States are not at liberty 10
consider the question Of recognizing Government
which, in the further chances Of war; may come into its
place. The United States. consistently with their
principles do otherwise than leave the destins
OF Mexico in the keeping Of her people, and recog
nze their sovereignty and independence in whatever
form they themselves shall choose that this sovereignty
and independence shall be manifested
