 ''We have had the pleasure of re- ceiving your courteous communica- tion of the 18th of May last, which we have noted very carefully.
 We must in the first place ac- knowledge the recognition by the first chief of the constitutionalist army of the wishes and Sympathies which prompted the tender of our good of fees toward the settlement of the conflict pending between Mexico and the United States, a tender inspired by the declared purpose of 'furthsrins the interests of peace and civilization on our continent and the earnest de- sire of avoiding further bloodshed, to the impairment of the cordiality and union which have always governed the development of the relations of the governments and peoples of America. In carrying out these purposes, we could not but welcome the advent to our conferences of representatives of all parties interested, provided they agree to submit to the consideration and counsel of the mediation and diff ferences which now divide them, in order that peaceful settlement thereof may be sought in ar atmos- phere of tranquility and conciliation.
 Hence it would be a source of great satisfaction to us if we knew that we are authorized to interpret the suggestion in the last paragraph but one of your communication as an ex- pression on the part of the first chief of the constitutionalists of that spirit Nf osal, i., should prevail at the conferences of the mediation and as an adhesion to the terms set forth in our last tele- graphic communication of the third of May last.
 If this were so we would take the liberty of suggesting through you to the first chief of the constitutional . ist army that he hasten the appoint ment of his representatives to the con- ferences in which we are now engag- ed
 We avail ourselves of this oppof- tunity to extend to you the assurances of our distinguished consideration" had elapsed without an answer being received that the correspondence was made public.
