Mr. Warren to Mr. Seward
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge, by last mail, the receipt of your circular of March 29th, in relation to diplomatic uniforms.
Since my last (No. 23) there has been nothing worthy of note, unless it be a slight emeute near the northern boundary, headed by a brother of the late rebel Cruz. The Gaceta, which I send by this mail, will give you all of the information yet received.
I think there is an apprehension on the part of the government here of some difficulty with Mexico. The sympathy of this republic with Maximilian and the imperial usurpation are well understood by the Juarez administration, and an unadjusted boundary question will give an excuse for demanding territory or pecuniary indemnity. At present this is only an apprehension, and nothing may come of it.
I also send by this mail a decree of the government granting a concession for a national bank. The parties, excepting Mr. Thomas Jump, are all residents here.
I have nothing further to write in connection with the two claims which are in process of adjustment.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington D. C.
