Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 6th of July, No. 1402. I thank you for the interesting account you have given me of the demonstrations of official and popular feeling produced by the; late tragical events in Mexico.

You will easily infer the present attitude of this government towards Mexico from a memorandum made at this department on the 12th instant, in regard to the adventures of Señor Santa Anna at Vera Cruz and Sisal, a copy of which memorandum is herewith transmitted for your information.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
