- "The correspondence with the French
Government concerning Mexico, which has just
been published at Washington. will enhance Mr..
SEwAnp's reputation as diplomatist. We may
trace in the dispatches Of the American Secretary
Of Stale the development Of . consistent policy
frankly announced when the Government Of the
United States stood at every possible disadvantage
and maintained without arrogance when fortune
mad declared openly on the side Of that republic.
Nothing could be hrmer than Mr. sEwARD's Ian.
susgs when the Emperor NAPoLEos diselosed his
'ntsntions as to Mexico three yesrs sgo. But In.
stead Of becoming stronger with the military power
Of the Union, its tone became more moderate.
There has been on the part Of the United States
resort to threats, no sending Of ultimatums. but a
moral pressure has been patiently, persistenty and
c"urtsously applied to the French Government
which has at last fairly given way, and edged II.
elf in diplomatic form withdrew its troops from
Mexico. The dseision Of the Emperor on this
.ubject, which was published in the Monifsur Of
April 5, 1865, was officially communicated to Mr.
SEWARD by M DE MoSrHoLoS, on the 2lst Of the
same month"
