WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The follow
ing is the official Mexican correspon-
dence between Secretary Seward and
Mr.. Bigelow, our Minister at Paris:
No. 800, LEGATION OF THE
UNITED STATES, PARIS,
-Hs@a8 8sFs& May 16, 1866.
Sir: translate from La France, of
last evening, the following announce
ment: The embarkation of volunteer
troops for Mexico has been counter
mandeG. Those enlisted have been
discharged, and the majority of them
have been enrolled in the army of the
North. }sSG86 9ae2aigss.
i may consider this paragraph, In a
semi-of6cial paper, as practically an
swering the inquiry which addressed
to the minister of Foreign Affairs, on
Thursday last, and as finally disposing
| of what threatened to become an un-l
pleasant complication. AprOpos, of
our relations with Mexico and more
especially of the latest phase of them,
| invite your attention to the annexed
extracts from the Mexican Diplo
n1Gtique, semi official, and from the
| Debates. saet
The Government has had no
difficulty in convincing Mr.. Mat
tley that Austria has no Intention of
sending troops to Mexico to replace
those of France, and that the volun-
teer question can't be considered as
composed of Austrian soldiers, as it
is of their own accord that, after hav-
ing fulfilled their obligations
in their country, they enlist in
the service of the Emperor
Macmillan, to form an integ-
raj portion of the Mexican army. A
proof that this incident seems to have
been settled in satisfactory manner
is that the embarkation Of 10000 Aus
trian volunteers was to take place on
the 10th of May last, at Trieste,
where, since the 7th, the Tampico
has been lying at anchor, vessel
of the trans Atlantic, on board of
which they were to be transported to
Vera Cruz. .,l.rers ss-g 9sags
ENCLOSURE NO. 3, FROM THE JOURNAL
'DEs VOTES, OF MAY 14TH, 1866. Z
We yesterday called attention
to the dispatches of Mr.. Seward
to the Minister of the United
States at Vienna, In which the
4 American Secretary of States pro-
tests against the sending of Austrian
volunteers to Mexico ID terms whose
earnestness every one can appreciate.
The Constellation thinks it can an
nounce this morning that all Difficult
ties are removed in the matter, and
that the explanations given by the
Vienna Cabinet have fully satisfied
the Minister of the United States, so
that first detachment of 1 900, volun-
teers was on board on the 10th of
May, at Trieste, for Mexico. s 10 tell
the truth, this Consul, knowing
nothing of these facts of itself, but
| gets them from the memorial diplo-
matique, in which, for our part, we
are far from having absolute conf
dence. It may be, after all that Aus
tria has not thought proper to- pay
attention sto, the protest from w ash
ington, ialth ugh lit has, at this mo
4 ment, affairs enough on hand,
1 not to- seek for new ones. Tf
it is true, that the corps of vol
unteers set out three days ago
for Vera Cruz on board the Tampico, it
could not be enough to prove that an,
understanding in regard to this ques-
tion of volunteers exists at present
between Austria and the, United
States. The very categoric language
of Mr.. Seward permits us to doubt
this. We shall wait, therefore, until
the text of the arrangement concluded
between the two governments is made
known to US before We believe it.
MR.. BIGELoW TO MR.. SEWARD.

Court, as the Representative of Mexi-
co, has arrived.
