Just previous to the adjournment of Congress, the President, in compliance with a resolution, sent to the Senate a mags of documents from which the following Papers were extracted, together with the reply of Senor B& Lerdo de Tejada to Minister Campbell, dated April 22, 2867, and tho mstructions of Minister Mejia to General Kecobedo, dated May 21, 1867, ia relation to the charges ‘fgainst Maximilian. Thess last documents have already Deen published in the Heratp, the former on Junel and the latter on July 18, The remaining documents fre of great importance, They are as follows:— MR. ROMBRO TO MR.

Fearing that the government of the United States might be misinformed in regard to what bad occurred in Mexico voucerning the shooting of certain persons, Mr. Romero said he was instructed to inform Mr. Seward of the antecedents of the war, of all that bad occurred during 118 existence and what he conzidered the duties of the Mexican government; that although Mr. Romero was satisfied that the government of the United States was aware of all, as he had taken par.icular care to communicate events in writing, even to minuteness, be Thought proper, in fulfilment of bis instructions, to make the following explanations :-— The government of Mexico has uot adopted the system of shooting the prisoners it takes from its enemies, Laying aside the question of the right to shoot them wnder peculiar and aggravating circumstances such as have occurred during this war, alter the departure of the Prench up to tho present time they have not been shot from the more fact that they were fighting against Mexwe. While the Frenen carried on tho war they phot most all the prisoners they captured either by court martial, by execuiing them secretly, or in virtue of the so-called decree of the usurper Maximilian of the 34 of October, 1865, The govermment of Mexico never de- sired to make reprisals; on the contrary, it often pro- posed a system of exchange, to be extended to all pris- ‘ners captured on both sides, The Freucu wonld never agree to this, and only when they wished to exchange a particular person would they make appiication \or « par- ai exchange, which was never refused by the Mexican geneiais. Tn the correspondence which Mr. Romero has rent to tbe Department of State aro several eases where the Mexican government treated its prisoners of war With great lenity, particularly Fropch aad Belgians, Mr. Romero has no knowledge of the execution of prischers of war, except those at Sun Jacinto, and a fow chiefs and officers at Puebla, In regard to the first, it is Known that the uumber of prisoners taken at San Ja- ‘einto was five of Six times 8 mauy as were executed, and of course the majority were not executed, and those that were Killed were udt killed merely becauso they were making war against Mexico, bat because they had committed crimes of all kinds in Zacatecas during the Shree days they bad remained there, Ty regard to the executions at Puebla, although Mr. Romero has received no official information to confirm them, he believes, taking into consideration the well Kuown integrity of Geueral Diaz, they were visited ‘upon military chieftains who deserved the penalty by the laws of war; as, for instance, if, belonging to the army of the republic, they betrayed their fiag and car- ned their forces over to the enemy. persons of ‘thal sort are captured by the forces they desert it ir not range they are treated with all the severity of military daw common w all pations, {Hore foliows Minister de Tejada’s reply to Minister Campbell } In a letter to Mr. Romero, dated Guadalupe Hidalgo, @eneral Basaine, render to me the cult ever Maximilian, auee Miranon, de., into my hands, provided I would 10 a proposal which he made to ‘we, and which I rejected, as 1 deemed it not very bon- erable.

MEMORANDUM OF AN INTERVIEW BETWEEN MR. SEWARD AND MR. ROMERO, Daxranrugst oF State, Wasainatoy, Jane 15, 1867. Mr. Seward said that he had asked an interview with Mr. Romero for the purpose of stating what follows :_ Mexican public journals, of both the republican and Intervention parties, seem to dwell with great pleasure upon any incident or circumstance that can be per- verted into a proof that the government of the United Siates eceks, or is willing to obtain some undue advan- tage ip Mexico, or some undue influence over the admi ion hore, These expressions do pot surprise Mr. Seward, although they are ey are an rico. rd is desirous that the administration of Pre- ‘ez should know that, besides the Emperor of Emperor of France and the Queeu of Eng- Jaud bave severally and in a confidential maaner ap- pealed to the United States to use any legitimate good Offices within their power to avert the execution of the Prince Maximilian, The United States bave already ex- pressed themselves on that subject with frankness and found respect to the government of President Juarez. fo reiterate its opini wishes in @ fordal manner, 4m compliance with the wishes ex by the sover: France and Grea\ tbe government of tend to defeat the humane purposesentertained. At the game time Mr. Seward, assuming that the question may still remain an open one, is desirous that President Juarez should be informed of the interest tm the person of the Prince Maximilian thus expressed by the last samed European Pows ir. Seward also tl sit properto say that be ap- Prehends no possible contingency in which any Eu- Fopean Power will attempt either invasion or interven- tion hereafter in Mexico or in any other republican na- Won on the American Continent. For this reason he @oes not think that Mexico has to apprehend any attempt at retaliation by European Powers as a conse- quence of whatever exirem> decision the Mexicaa gov- ernment may make; but at the same time Mr. Seward also thinks that universal sentiment, favorable, con. ciliatory and friendiy towards the republic of Mexico and the other Spanish-American repubiics would be Nkely to follow from such an exercise of clemency and magnanimity as the United States have thought proper to recommend.

Whenever the 3 do move to the assistance of the civil authorities 1t whould be for the purpose of seeing that no persons interfere with the ollicers of the law to prevent them from the proper exercise of their oifices, and not for the purpose of making arrests: neither will oficers in com- mand allow themselves to be uiade the custodians of prison- ers after arrest, except when the civil officers making the ‘est declare themselves unable to retain the prisoners in ¥) When the officer in command of the troops will take @ short time while the make preparations to secure them.
