NUMBER 622,
The Mextean Question—Views of the
Government,
Tha following circular, embodying the
views of our Government on the Mexican
question, bas been addressed by Secretary
Seward to the several Amesican legatious
abroad:
Wasurneroy, March 3, 1862.
Str—We observe indications of a growing impression in Burope that the demonstration made by the Spanish, French and
British forces against Mexico is likely to
provoke a revolution in that country whieb
shall briog about the introduction of a
monarchical government, and the aesumption of the crown by w foreign prince. Our
countay is deeply interested iv the peace
of the world, and desires to preserve loyal
relations as well with the Allies as with
Mexico. The President bas, therefore, directed me to eubmit to the parties iojereriee his views on the new aspect of afairs,
The President has relied upon the assurance given his Government by the Allies,
that they were io pursuit of no political
object, but simply the redress of their grievances, He entertains no doubt of the sincerity of the Allies; and if bis confidence
in their good faith bad been disturt ed, it
would be restored by the frauk explanetions given by them, that the Goveruments
of Spain, France and Great Britain have
no intention of intervening to procure a
change in the constitutional form of government how exiting in Mexico, or an
political change which should be io opposition to the will of the Mexican people. In
short, he bas cause to believe what the Allies wre unanrmous in declaring that the
revolution proposed to Mexico is solely
prompted by certain Mexican citizens, who
are now in Europe,
_Nevertheless, the President regards it as
hie duty to express to the Allies, in all
kindness and candor, that a monarcbial
government established in Mexico, in the
presence of foreign fleets and armies, occnpying the waters and soil of Mexico, bas no
promise of security or permanence; in the
second place that the instability of euch a
monarchy would be enhanced if the throne
were assigned to @ person alien to Mexico:
that iu these circumstances the new government would instantly fall unless sustained
by Kuropean alliances, which, under the influence of the first invasion, would be practically the begining of a permanent policy of armed intervention by monarchical
Europe, at once injurious and inimical to
the system of goveroment geneially adopted by the American continent,
These views are based ‘upon some koow)edge of the opinions and political habits
of American society, There can be po
doubt that io thie matter the permanent interests aud sympathies of our country would
be on the side of the otber American Republics,
We mut not be understood as predictin
on this occasion the course of events whic
may ensue, both in America and in Europe,
. from the steps which are contemplaied. It
is enough to say that, in the opinion of the
President,the emancipation of the American
contineot from the control of Europe bas
been the principal characteristic of the past
half century, it is not probable that a revolution in the opposite direction can suc
ceed in the age which immediately follows
this period, and while the population of
America increases eo rapidly, while its resources develop in the same proportion,
and while society forme itself uniformly ac
cording to the principles of the American
Democratic government,
It is unceceseary to indicate to the Allies
how improbable itis that the wations of
Europe would accept cheerfully w policy
favorable toa similar counter-revolution,
thus incompatible with their own proper intereste, Nor is it neceseary to point out
that, uotwithstanding the care of the Allies
. to avoid aiding by means of their laud maratime forces the internal revolutions of
Mexico, the result would be none the Jess
due to the presence of their forees in the
country, however different the objeet they
may have proposed; tor without their presence it may be considered as certain that
such revolutions woula probably not bave
been attempted or even conceived.
The Senate of the United States has cers
tainly vot accorded its official sanction to
the precise measures proposed by the Press
ident, to lend our aid to the actual Mexican
Goveromept, in order that the latter might,
with the approbation of the Allies, extricate itself from its present embarrasemente.
But this is strietly a question of internal
administration, There could be no greater error. than to see in this dieagreement, a
divergenee of opinion in our Government,
or in the American people, in regard to
their cordial wishes for the eafety, welfare,
. add stability of the Republican Govern. ment in that country,
Lam your obedient servant,
Wa. H. Sewanp.
