Mr. Seward to Mr. Motley.

No. 47.]

Sir:Your despatch of October 5, No. 36, has been received. Reserving so much of it as relates to the affairs of Mexico for distinct consideration, I have now only to thank you for the information you have given me concerning the complications of peculiarly European politics, and the conflicting currents of opinion on the continent concerning the civil war in which we have the misfortune to be the actors.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

J. Lothrop Motley, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Vienna.
