Sir: I inclose a copy of a note that I addressed to the minister of foreign affairs on the 13th instant, transmitting a copy of a dispatch from the United States minister at Paris, to the Department of State, respecting his conduct in extending his good offices in behalf of Mexican citizens in France, and also a copy of the response of the Secretary of State, (A and B.)

I now have the honor to inclose a translation of the reply of the minister of foreign affairs, dated the 15th Instant, (B,) in which he manifests the gratitude of the government of Mexico to the Government of the United States, and our worthy representative at Paris, for the good offices of our legation in that city in behalf of Mexican citizens in France, and requests me to transmit his communication to the Department of State.

I am, &c.,
