Señor Romero to Mr. Seward

Mr. Secretary: Referring to my note of the 24th of February last to your department, relative to certain duties collected in Acapulco by the governor of the State of Guerrero, I have the honor to send you the copy of a communication I have received from Mr. Lerdo de Tejada, minister of foreign relations of the Mexican republic, dated at Paso del Norte the 31st of March following, and numbered 180, explaining why that business has not yet been decided upon by the Mexican government.

I accept the opportunity of renewing to you, Mr. Secretary, the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

M. ROMERO.

Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
