Lero de Tejada the President OF the Supreme Court
in speech said that Mr.. Stewards name would be
imperishably written in the history OF an important
epoch for his services in behalf OF humanity and
republican institutions on the American continent
On the night of the 9th utimo, grand banquet was
given Mr. Seward at the Palace President Juarez,
the Ministers of the Cabinet, and other prom
jnent persons were present President Juarez
toasted President Grant, and paid high
compliments to America. Minister Nelson responded.
Lerdo de Tejada spoke at considerable length defn-
ing the relations of the Governments OF the United
States and Mexico. He proceeded to point out the
resembances between the laws ana institutions of
the two countries and declared that IN these respects
and in the common pursuit OF liberty they were
much alike.
Mr.. Seward followed lin a speech discaiming all
personal interest in coming to Mexico. The Mexican
Government, he said wisely give their political
positions to their own countrymen and not to foreign
adventures. His sole ambition was to inspire
the American people with thorough I'M
derstanding of the destinies Of this continent.
Although originally colonized by European
Honarches vet sooner OF later it must be made en-
tirely independent of foreign control and of every
form of despotic government. Mr.. Seward proceeded
to give an eloquent exposition of American Repub-
canism especially in its application to the Ameri-
can continent, and closed by proposing a toast to
President Jnarez, whose name, he SAID, would re-
main indssoluBly connected with the memories OF
Lincoln, Bolivar, and Washington. An operatic
troupe present sang the Star Spangled Banner"
Minister Iglesias interpreted Mr. Stewards speech.
Immense enthusiasm prevailed. very large crowd
of people were present, all of whom were anxious to
see Mr.. Seward Mr. Seward will probably leave
about the 10th inst.
