WASHINGTON, July IA
The reply of Sec'y Seward which is a lengthy
document, to the application of DR.. Naphegyi for
the Intervention of this government for the release
of Santa Anna and his return to the United States,
is furnished for publication. Mr.. Seward demon
strates that the Virginia at the time of the cap
ture OF Santa Anna, was not engaged in her regu-
lar business as a merchant and passenger yes
sci, but was chartered by Santa Anna to convey
himself and suite TO Mexico on an illegal and bell
ligerent expedition that while at Vera Cruz he
was in consultation wththe enemies OF the Repub-
lic and that they had arranged to proclaim him
commander of Vera Cruz in opposition to the
Republican governments that he falsely pretend
ed that he went 10 Mexico with the sanction of
President johnson and Sec'y Seward and that he
prevented the surrender of Vera Cruz after the
terms OF surrender had been agreed to and ac-
cepted by both parties, and this under declara-
ton that he was acting under the authority of the
United States
The State department does not disallow or cen
sure, but approves, of the proceedings of the Unit
ed States Consul and Commander Roe at Vera
Cruz Mr., Seward also quotes from the letter of
Santa Anna TO Gen. Peraza TO show that he San
ia Anna landed voluntarily, and that the captain
OF the Virginia protested, not against the capture,
but against his landing, contrary TO the orders Of
Commander Roe not TO land him on Mexican ter
ritory. The Secretary concludes as follows:
Upon this review of facts it seems proper that
the government should wait for further aud more
definite information before entering npon a com
munication in relation TO the complaint OF DIR. Ma
phegyi with the government of Mexico That ma
ton seems at last to have trumphed all its in
ternal and foreign enemies, and to have reached a
crisis, where, il left alone, it may be expected to
restore tranquility and to reorganize itself upon
permanent foundation of union, freedom and re-
publican government. Only some great nation
al injury, wrong or offence would Justify this gov
ernnent in suddenly assuming hostile and IN.
friendly attitude toward the Republic of Mexico.
