his telegram to Marshal Bazains was purpose
ly cent in way to show that there was moth
ing in his plans to disguise"
Mr.. Seward writes to Mr.. Bigelow, say
ing:
- We cannot acquiesce
First. Because the term next spring, as
appointed for the entire evacuation, is indefi-
lite and vague.
Second. Because We have no authority for
stating to Congress and to the American PEG.
pie, that we have now a better guaranty for
the withdrawal of the whole expeditionary
force in the spring than we have heretofore
had for the withdrawal Of part in Novem-
Der.
Third In full reliance upon al least lite
raj performance of the Emperor's existing
agreement, we have taken measures, while IA
ciitatiug the anticipated French evacuation, to
cooperate with the Republican government OF
Mexico for promoting the paci6cation of that
country, ard for the early and complete resto-
ration of the proper constitutional authority OF
that government. AS part of those meas
ures MIR. Campbell, our newly appointed Min
istsr, attended by Lieutenant General Sher-
man, hes been sent to Mexico in order to COZ
fer With President Juarez subjects which are
deeply Interesting to the United States, and Of
vital importance 10 Mexico
The Emperor will perceive that We cannot
now recall MIR. Campbell, nor can modify
the instructions under which he is expected to
treat, and under which he may even now be
treating with tie Republican government OF
Mexico.
Thai government will, of course, ost ear
nestly de sire ard confidently expect an early
and entire discrimination OF foreign hostile oc-
cupa,ion. You will, therefore, state to the
Emperor's government, that the President sin
oersly hopes and expects that the evacuation of
Mexico will be carried into effect, with such
conformity to the existing agreement as the
inopportune com plication which calls for this
di patch shall allow. MIR. Campbell will be
advised Of that complication. Instructions
will b. issued to the United States military
forces of observation to await n every case,
sp. cial directions from the President. This
will be done with confident expectation that
the telegraph The mail may seasonabiy
bring Us a satisfactory resolution from the En-
perar in reply to this note"
This correspondence also gives the resson
for sending Lieut-Gen. Sherman to Mexico.
Mr. Seward says it was originally determined
to send Gen Grant with Minister Campbell,
but Gen. Grant not desiring to 60, Lieut-Gsn.
Sherman was sent. The reason for sending a
military gentleman is thus stated {:
" His military experience will enable him to
advise you concerning such questions may
arise during the transition stage of Mexico
from state Of military seige BY foreign en-
my to condition of practical self government.
At the same time it will be in his power, being
near the scene of action, to issue any orders
which may be expedient or necessary for main
taining the Obligations resting upon the Unit
ed States in regard 10 proceedings upon the
borders of Mexico"
4 Matanoras Journal reports, on what it
seems 10 believe good authority, that the il.
structions of MIR. Campbell are to the effect
" First-That the United States do not recog-
Mise, neither will they recognize, any other
government in Mexico than that of the cousti-
.u,iolsl President J1arez. Second-That they
do not propose, neither do they wish. to ac-
quire any part of Mexican territory. Third
That they do not recognise in any manner the
claims Of France. Fourth-They are willing
to ex end to Mexico any aid with the object to
queii local Disorders whenever required by the
constitutional government of Mexico, or her
authorities, without proposing to interfere in
any manner, whatever, in the domestic differ
ences OF the Country.
l. is elsy to see from this programme, to-
gether with the great probability that Napoleon
viii not withdraw his troops from Mexico until
he gets ready or is forced to, that both Mr..
Johnson and Mr.. Seward nave done about all
they can do to provoke some sort of a quarrel
regard to Mexico; and conclude they
have done this deliberately, in the hope that
rome serious foreign complication threatening
if not actually involving the nation in war,
will Overt the minds OF the people from the
question OF reconstruction and the rehabilits-
ton of the late insurgent states. Dir. Seward
is not only sending threatening messages to
France, bat ne has already determined that
Jaarez is the lawful President of Mexico, and
h.s sent to Juarez's government minister &C
companied by Lieut.. General to be near, in
