WASHINGTON, January D.
The first Of these papers is q commu
nication from Senator Arrero to Mr.
Corwin, dated March 2, 1863, in which
he expresses desire to see Mr.. Seward
EXTRA. officially, and to ascertain whether
the recognition OF our Consul can be
obtained because of embarIassmens
which exist in consequence Of their non.
habitualion while in Mexico. Tbs exer.
else Of their functions has been combined
without embarrassment to the American
Consuls. and stating that that Govern,
which was that Of Don Behiio
Juarez-does pot exist in de .tacto or de
jure.
a memorandum by Mr. Seward notes
that the Marquis de Monthoon, on the
I7th of July, called ut the Department
of Stale, saying that y special agent had
arrived from Mexico hearing letter
from Naximilian to the President Of the
United States, with papers making GER
tain explanations reiatlYe~to transactions
'ou the Bio Grande, upon which the
United States Government had made
representations TO the Imperial Govern
ment OF FRANCE. The Secretary, OH the
3.h, a(tera conferences with the Presi-.
dent. returned the letter to Monthoou,
saying the United States was in friendly
communication with the Republican
Government of Mexico, and the Pres.
dent declined to receive the letter or to
hold intercourse with the agent who
brought it.
On August !, Minister Romeo inform
ed Acting Secretary Hunter that San
Luis Arrero, assumed to act as II Com.
mercial Agent in New York without an
exequntur, or other recognition by the
United States Governments, and asks
whether the Government recognized the
right Of hasimiliar TO wake SUCH appoint
ment, or whethey, as he believes In the
case, this Government onl y sees in the
Republic Of Mexico a war between it and
France. without recognizing Maximilian
even as q Government ds tdcto. The
charge he intinsatss may seem 10 show
that the Government OF the United States
recognizes French intervention inMexico
MIR. Seward replies, ON Augnst oh,
that no law Of the United 9taIes prevents
a person from advertising himsei as q
consul but this Government, in ap its
official correspondence. has recognized
no other Government in Mexico except
tha. of Juarez, and assures him that such
a commercial agent can perform mol
consular act relating to the affairs of hiss
countrymen in the United Safes. Tol

selves discharge duties AS commercial
agents in ports vhich are not under con-
troll of that Government, in all respects
like those which the person Arrero, IN
the same way, and to the samy ex.ent,
claims TO do in New Yors.
In respect to said ports, Senator Ro
nero. on the 18th, complains that no
positive answer is given TO his inquiries,
and noLSes Mr.. Seward that he has sub
mitIsd the correspondence to his Govern
meps and will wait for Instructions, OIL
which Communication Mr. Seward makes
a formal acknowledgment, November I,
without further explanation.
On November 9th the Secretary OF
Stale addresses Miuissey Biglow, and rep
resents that the preseHcs aud operations
of Fssnch army in Mexico. and its
maintenasce of an Authority there, is a
cause OF sertoHs ecsscern " the United
States. Nevertheless, ihs objection oil
the United States is stilt broader, and
includes the authority itself which the
Freash army is thus aoaintsinsng. That
authority is in direct autagonisn, to the
policy of this Government. and the prin>
cipls on which it is founded. Every
