Mr.. IGNACIo MAREsCAL was introduced to-

Of which the following is a translation:
"Mr. President: | have the honor to put in
the hands of your EXcellency my credentials
as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenpo-
tCntiary Of the United States of Mexico near the
governmental of the United States of America.
No one better than myself could appreciate
such an honor for, having resided in this coun-
try, as / did, during the gigantic war with
which she had lately astonished the world, l
had an opportunity to admire her colossal
grandeur and the indisputable merit of her
free institutions. At the very time that this
great people was engaged in civil war, my
country was struggling against foreign inva-
sion which would never have been attempted
but for the temporary situation of the Ameri-
can people.
''ThiS close relation between the sufferings of
the two countries, and above all the noble SYM
pathy shown by the people of the United
States by giving their moral support to my
countrymen, who were struggling by them
selves against one of the strongest European
Powers, morally supported by nearly all the
rcst-these facts, Mr.. President, and the pru-
dent and disintereSted policy pursued by the
government Of the United States to cooperate
in the salvation Of Mexico, have made more
intimate the relations between our govern
mentS, destined by their vicinity and the SINH
larity of their political institutions to be per-
| petually good friends.
"The government and people Of Mexico do
not and will never forget how noble the SYM
| pathy, and how diSintereSted the policy with
| which they were assisted to rescue their most
| cherished blessings, their independence and
republican institutions. / am instructed to
make this manifest to your Excellency, assur-
| ing you also that my government remembers
| with great pleasure the most important part
! which you took yourself in that wise and COM
mendable policy Of your nation, by using the
influence you then had, from your high posi-
| tion at the head Of the army, and your merits
| SOiustly admired.
"The circumstance of your being at present
the chief magistrate of this powerful republic
is a new guaranty for Mexico that her rela-
| tiOns with the United States will not cease to
be inspired by the sincerest friendship, based
upon those principles Of justice and upright
ness which in every country should constitute
the only secret of diplomacy. l shall feel
very happy, Mr.. President, if l shall have the
! good fortune to contribute by the discharge
Of my official duties to the continuance of that
sort Of relations between the two countries,
and to the uninterrupted increase of their
| commercial and industrial intercourse for the
! benefit of their respective citizens. By so do
| ing will fulfil the wishes of my government,
and crafty allmy personal ASPIRATIONS"
The President replied as follows:
"NIr. Ministers l am greatly pleased to re-
ceve from the republic of Mexico a Minister
! to this government so acceptable as yourself.
! Your previous residence in the United States
| has made you familiar with its institutions and
| its people, and must have satisfied you that its
government shares the views of the Mexican
! statesmen who deem a republic the form of
! government best suited to develop the re-
sources Of that country, and to make its peo-
! pie happy For myself, may say it is not
necessary for me to proclaim that my sympa-
| thies were always with those struggling to
maintain the republic; that | rejoiced when the
! evident will Of the nation prevailed in their
success, and that they have now my best
| wishes in their labors to maintain the integ-
| rity of their country, and to develop its mate
rial wealth. am prepared to share in your
| efforts to continue and increase the cordial So
cial, industrial and political relations so hap
PLY existing between these two republics"
| GENERAL GRANT has not either in conversa-
| tiOn or by letter requested Judge Dant to
withdraw from the Mississippi canvass, and in
! view of the present complications it is reiter-
ated that Judge Dent will canvass Mississippi
in the interest of the Conservative Republican
candidates, whether himself or another heads
| the ticket In the meantime Judge Dent con-
| tinues a candidate before the Convention.
