Mr. Minister: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your excellency’s note under date of 22d instant, by which you are kind enough to tender your good offices in the present conflict between the government of the nation and the authorities of this province.

It is very agreeable to me to communicate to your excellency that the national government, giving due weight to the kindly sentiments of your excellency, will always bear in mind your agreeable offers, and will accept, whenever opportunity offers, your friendly mediation.

At the same time that I thank your excellency in the name of the President of the republic for your spontaneous offer and the interest you manifest in behalf of the peace of these countries, I have the satisfaction of reiterating to you the expressions of my extreme and distinguished consideration.
