Mexican ant airs.
The President of the United States yester
day sent a large mass of documents to the
House of Representatives, in reply to a
resolution of that body. Among them is
the letter of General Santa Anna, addressed
to the President, dated at St. Thomas, De
cember 12,1865, in which he states that on
the 19th of October .he commissioned Mr.
liisander Lormada to place in the Presi
dent’s hands a communication, sanctioned
by his signature, setting forth his intention
in respect to Mexico, and soliciting some
aid from him as a basis to commence the
work of redeeming his country from the
yoke which oppressed it. He concludes
his letter as follows:
“I speak to yonr Excellency in the name
of unhappy Mexico, pledging solemnly her
national honor for the fulfillment of the
engagements which may take place in con
sequence of the aid- with which your Exoel
lency’s government may favor me. Mr.
. Miazuera will explain to you confidentially
the class of resources I ask for, and all that
he may bargain with your Excellency, in
accordance with the contents of. this com
munication, and on the instructions I have
placed in his hands, will be recognized and
approved by me, in the name of the Mexi
can Republic.”
In another letter, dated St. Thomas, Dec.
lßt, he informs the President that he had
commissioned Colonel Maznera with more
ample powers, that he might place in the
President’s hands a document referring to
the resolution he, Santa Anna, had formed
to deliver Mexico from foreign domina
. Ron. He concludes by saying, “Under the
protection of the Almighty, and that I may
receive from the government of the United
States, I think that very shortly the flag of
. the republic will be hoisted in all the cities
and villages of my beloved country. She
will never forget in the day of triumph all
ohewill owe to her glorions sister, and will
return with measure the benefits which
• may be dispensed to her.
. Next follows a letter from Santa Anna to
Secretary Seward, dated Elizabethport. N.
1 21,1866, staUng his arrival in the
United States, .thus accomplishing one of
his moßt constant desires, and stating that
- i* was very pleasant to him to fulfill the
. firstjpart of his duties by presenting, in
bis character of a Mexican citizen, the hom
. age of his profound respect to the govern
ment of this great and happy nation, and
the expresaion of his particular sympathy
toward the Secretary in person, and through
him to the President of the Republic.
He says he has commissioned his friends
Don Abraham Baez andJColonel Don Mazue
mi to present this letter, in which he avows.
“The object of my coming is to placemyself
m the way of discharging my dnty as a
Mexican General, to fight against the
foreign and despotio government which at
this day rules over the capital of my conn
try, and to reinstate in that place the consti
tutional republican government, by offer- i
mg for this purpose my services to the emi- 1
nent patriot, Senor Juarez, who is now at
its head, and by plaoing myself under his
orders.

New York, Nov. 7, 1866 — Bon. William
M. Seward:—My Dear Sir; I am the ne
phew of. Santa Anta; the Mexican general,
and as his only relative,now, near him, am
bound in all duty and conscience to see that
he suffers no harm from designing persons.
I have sufficient grounds to make -me be
lieve that the general is not faithfully served,
and that In consequence of trusting to reb*
resentations urged upon him, he may lose
not only bis reputation and his fortune, but
even more, his life in a mistaken enterprise.
I therefore am driven to take the Hberty of
addressing myself to yon, and I beg you
not as Minister of State, bat upon your
> generous instincts, as a man ready to aid a
fellow man, to tell me, if it may be, done
without detriment to the pnbllo interests,
whether the United States Government is
treating witn my unde, the General, in re
ference to Mexico. He believes, and is act
ing under the belief that such a treaty,
exists between himself and tie Government:’
but Ido not believe that he in person has
ever met an accredited agent of the Govern
ment, and therefore it is. that I pray you for
such ah answer to this, my respectful inqui
ry, as may enable me to disabuse his mind
and save him from dangers to which his
presen t ill-advised course must expose him.
I have the honor to be, very respeotfoily,

Department of state, Washington
November 8, 1866.— T0 Antonio Lopez
De Santa Anna, Jr., New York:—
Sir; I have received your letter of yes
terday representing yourself to be the
nephew of General Antonio Lopez De Santa
Anna, formerly President of the Mexican
Republic; that you have reason to believe
that the Government isnot faithfully served,
but that owing to improper influences he
may lose his reputation, his fortune, and
even his life, in a mistaken enterprise. You
ask me if this Government is treating with
the General upon the subjeot of Mexico.
The practice of the Government requires
that Executive correspondence involving
foreign affairs shall be conducted on behalf
of the Government, in the customary diplo
matic manner, by recognized and responsi
ble offioial agents, and that it shall always
be registered and recorded for national in
formation and uses. It is equally a prac
tice of the Government to hold correspon
dence in regard to the affairs of a friendly
foreign republic, exclusively with the gov
ernment of that repuhlio which is recog
nized by the United States, and never with
pejsons ■ whom such foreign government
pronounces to be hostile.
Under these circumstances you will per
ceive that the correspondence which you
have opened cannot be continued
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant, Wu. H. Seward.

In process of time the imperial foroes

United States for an armed assertion of his
claims at the expense of a violation of our
neutrality laws.
To counteract these maohinationsand to
prevent our neutrality laws from being vi
olated, my letter of October 23d, to General
Sedgwick, was written, and a copy of it
placed in the hands of General Ortega in the
city of New Orleans, Not heeding this, but
under the belief that we gave directions in
| onr country for bunoombe, General Ortega
was about to cross the line of our frontier
and was arrested on the same principle that
the Eenians were arrested in attempting to
violate our laws by the invasion 6f Canada.
Since the termination of the rebellion the
people of the United States have suffered in

KHA JOB- GENKBAIi SHBBIDAN TO BREVET
MAJOR-GENERAL BAWLINB.
Headquarters Department of the
Gulf, New Orleans, December 11,1866.
I Major- General J. A. Bawlins, Chief of Staff,
I Washington, D. C— General: I have the
honor to make the following repo rt of my
recent trip to the Bio Grande frontier: t
I arrived at Brownsville at 4 A. M. on the
6th inst. and found that on the 24th of No
vember, General Sedgwick, commanding
the new district of the Rio Grande, had de
manded and received the surrender of the
city cf Matamoras from Canales, who arbi
trarily held possession of the city against
the legitimate authority of the Government;
I that on the 30tb ult. the few United States
troops (about fifty) holding the city had
.been withdrawn in obedience to instructions
sent by me disapproving the act of occupa
tion or any action arising from it
The motives which Influenced Brevet Brl
r gadier General Sedgwick in this act are un
known to me, but the alleged one of protect
ing American citizens and their property
was in Violation of a decision made by the
honorable Secretary of State on this subject,
which decision is on file in this office. The
case presents itself to my mind in this way.
After the surrender of Matamoras to Gan.
Carvaial. the merchants of Matamoras,
most of them foreign-born, and some claim-'
mg American citizenship, but ultra Maxi
milian adherents and blockade-runners j
during the rebellion, induced Canales, a I
noted character, to pronounce against the
authority of the Liberal Government.
They had two objects in this—first, to help
the Imperial cause, by creating as mucu
dissension as possible among the Liberal
leaders; secondly, that they might pass one
goods from the city free of duty, or nearly
so. This worked well for them, and goods
said to amount to a large Bum were so moved
cut.
This condition of affairs continued until
General Escobedo, in command-of the Li
beral forces, advanced troops against Mata
moras for its recapture. Pending this event
Ortega was sent for. As Canales was a
usurper, it was necessary to support him
by a more noted character, like Ortega; but
Ortega having been arrested at Brazos San
tiago, and Escobedo having laid siege to tho
city, these merchants wereobliged to change
their planß.
They then proposed that Canales should
surrender the city to Escobedo if he would
agree to pay them the money given or said
to have been given to Canales, the amount
being some §600,000. This Escobedo refused,
and leariDg that they would lose their claim
I and perhaps their property if the city was
taken, they brought their influence to bear
on Brevet Brigadier General Sedgwick. This
is the point of the whole affair. The occu
pation of the city was a mere matter of
form, and had the consent of Escobedo, who
made no objection, and since the city passed
into his bands has called on Gen. Sedgwick
in the most friendly manner and asked me
toforeivehis action. I am, General, very
respectfully, your ob’ti servant,
