Mr. Romero to Mr. F. W. Seward
Mr. Assistant Secretary of State: I have the honor to acknowledge the reception of your note of this date, informing me that your department has received authentic information that the imperial family of Austria consents to the eventual reintegration of Prince Maximilian, and requesting me to communicate the fact to my government in the same way that I transmitted recent similar information. In reply, I have the honor to inform you that I sent a translation of your note this day to my government, by telegraph as far as New Orleans, in time for the steamer leaving that port to-day for Matamoros.
I embrace this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurances of my distinguished consideration.
Hon. F. W. Seward, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
