Sir:I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 15th instant, transmitting to me printed copies of a protest by Don Jesus Escobar y Armendariz, agent of the Mexican government, in the city of London, on the 10th of June last, against the acts of the French intervention in Mexico, and of the functionaries emanating therefrom, and principally against the loan decreed on the 10th of April previous by the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria.

I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you, sir, the assurances of my very distinguished consideration.

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
