Mr. Seward to Mr. Warren.

No. 19.]

Department of State, Washington, February 11, 1868.

Sir: Your dispatch of the 6th of January, No. 32, has been received, and its accompaniment, which is a copy of a communication which was addressed to you on the 9th instant by the minister for foreign affairs for Guatemala. The assurance which the minister gives that the rumors of an interruption of pacific relations between Guatemala and Mexico which have obtained circulation are groundless, is highly gratifying. The President especially appreciates the kindness and confidence which the Guatemalian government manifests toward our own in making the matter a subject of formal communication.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD,

Fitz Henry Warren, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
