Diplomatic Corr, spenderce--Withdrawal
French Troops from Mexico


WASHINGTON, April 23.-In the House Of
Representa- tives 70 day message was received
from the President transmirtiI g a yolunnious
correspondence relating to the occupation Of
Mexico by French troops This correspondence
dates from several Gonths back up TO and in
Guiding today: (April Esd, 1865 J The most
important part Of it appears TO be contained in
q letter from the Secretary Ct State to tn"
Marquis dc Montholon, the French minister:
dat. d Washing on: February IL, 1866, in
which il is proposed, in a document Of great
length, that if he Frenrh will withdraw their
troops from Mexico, this 20 eminent will viz
tu.lly ad"pt the principle Of nou-interventon
with regard t., Mexico after such With drawal.
In thisc nnec ion Mr.. Seward writes as follows:
with these explanations | proceed to say
that in the opinion # he Pr sident, France
need no longer delay for moment her promis-
ed withdrawal Of military forces from Mexico,
and thus hasten the principle Of non-nterven
ton into full and complete practice in regard
to Mexico, through any apprehension that the
United states will prove unfalthful to the
principles Of the policy 10 that respect which
on their behalf 1t has been my duty TO main
tain in this now very lrngtby correspondence.
The practice Of this government from the be-
ginning is to guarantee to all nations in the
respect Of the claims Of the people the full SOW
eroignty OF the people of every other State
The French Minister Of State, n. Drouyn
de L Hugs, replies to Mr.. Seward, under date
Of Paris, April 5, 1865, (which was communi-
Gated to the State Department on Saturday,
April, q, by the French minister in which
he discusses the attitude Of the United States
government on the Mexican question, and in
concluding says:
The policy OF Doninter7ention will hasten
the withdrawal Of French troops from Mexico.
We find there Mr. Seward; letter OF Februa-
~ l2) sufficient guarantee not to any longer de-
lay the adoption OF measures intended to pre-
pare for the return Of our army. The Empe-
ror desires that the French troops should evac
uate Mexico in detachments-tbe first in No
vember, 10 1866, the second in May: 1867; and
the third in November. 1867.
Another important letter appears from alr
Seward to Mr. Bigelow, orr Minister 10 France,
informing him that the Department Of State
has information that it is contemplated TO send
10000 Austrian troops to Mexico, and request
ing him to inform NJ Drouyn de l. Hugs Of
the fact Mr.. Seward also write: TO our Mini
lister to Vienna in effect demonstrating against
