Mr. Seward to Mr. Plumb.
Sir: Your dispatch of the 25th September, No. 193, has been received. It treats of alarms which have been raised in Mexico, by proceedings of General Santa Anna in Havana for organizing military expeditions in the Island of Cuba to invade Mexico, through the territory of the United States. You are authorized to communicate to the Mexican government the copy hereunto appended of two dispatches which have been received at this department from the United States vice-consul general at Havana. One of these is a dispatch which came by telegraph and bears date the 7th of October, and the other is a dispatch in writing, which carries the date of the 6th of the same month. There is no reason to apprehend any danger of such a proceeding originating in the United States.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Edward L. Plumb, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
