IMPORTANT DIPLOMATIC Correspondence.
The President, in response to a resolution of
inquiry respecting any attempt made to secure
the recognition of Maximilian's Empire in
Mexico, sent to the House of Representatives
yesterday an important message, covering vol
luminous correspondence in relation to Next
can affairs. From this correspondence ii appears
that on the 18th of July last, the French Min
lster, Count MOnthOlon, gave to Mr.. Seward
copy of a letter from Macmillan to the Presi-
dent of the United States, brought by a special
agent; and on the 18th, Secretary Seward re-
turned II with the answer, after consultation
With the President, that the United States are
now, as formerly, in friendly relations with the
Republic of Mexico, and that this Government
could not depart from its usual course in the
matter; and therefore the reception of the letter
was declined. On the 9th of December. 1865.
Mr.. Seward addressed a note TO Count Mon
tbolOn, IN reply TO a communication from the
French Government, in which he informs it
that the suggestions of the Emperor of France
were reduced TO practical shape, which seems
TO be this That France is willing to retire from
Mexico as soon rs she may, but that il would
be IncOnyenient to her without first receiving
from the United States an assurance of a friend
ly and tolerant disposition to the Macmillan
Government. The President is gratified at the
fr emily regards expressed by France, but re-
with. MI Secretary Seward explains TO Coun:
MOnthOlOn that the nature of the discomfort of
our people is not well understood by the French
Government; that while the United States are
not disposed to make n war of propogandisn.
IL is in favor of Republican Governments on
this continent, and believes that the people
Will secure it if left to themselves.
