Mr. Otterbourg to Mr. F. W. Seward

No. 13.]

Consulate of the United States, Mexico, March 9, 1867.

Sir: Enclosed herewith I have the honor to transmit copies, No. 1, of a reply to the foreign representatives by the minister of foreign affairs of this government upon their protest against the contribution of one per cent.

No. 2 is the answer of the representatives thereto.

No. 3, the reply of the minister of foreign affairs, that completes, for the time, a correspondence which, though it may not be of any immediate importance, I have thought might, in the possession of the department, prove highly interesting, in connection with the history of the French intervention, and be referred to with advantage in the future.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

MARCUS OTTERBOURG, U. S. Consul in charge of United States Legation.

Hon. F. W. Seward, Assistant Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
