Sir:

We hear as yet nothing from her Catholic Majesty’s government concerning the question of maritime jurisdiction. We are frank, direct, and friendly in our attitude towards Spain. I need not say that we do not fear aggression, although we deprecate it.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Horatio J. Perry, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Madrid.
