f the expulsion of the Emperor of the French, evidently regarding the Mexican potentate as only the tool of his great prototype in France. On the 20th of July, 1866, Grant wrote to Sheridan: Your dispatch relative to selling the arms at Brownsville to the Liberals was referred by me to the President, strongly recommended. I also saw the President in person about it, who said: Why can't we let them have them? The subject will be up before the Cabinet to-day, and as Seward is absent, I am in hopes it will be decided to let them go. Whether this is done or not the Liberals are now getting arms. I got the Secretary of the Treasury to give clearances for a large lot of arms for Brownsville, for export beyond the limits of the United States. Some are now on the way, and others will follow. There has been entirely too much lukewarmness about Washington in Mexican affairs. I am afraid that it may yet cause us trouble. It looks to me very much as if Napoleon was going to settle

This had been granted with the concurrence od Grant, convenient to be permitted to go into Mexico, if they can be got into the hands of the defefelt to see the Liberal Government restored in Mexico, and no doubt exists of the strict justice of e whole question between the United States and Mexico so befogged that I know nothing really to writinue, the friends of the Liberal Government of Mexico can do nothing to help it.

There has been entirely too much lukewarmness about Washington in Mexican affairs. I am afraid that it may yet cause us trouble. It looks to me very much as if Napoleon was going to settle the European quarrel in his own way, thus making himself stronger than ever before. If he does, will he not compel Austria to sFenian movement against our Northern neighbor. There is but one party, one Government in Mexico, whose complaints or wishes have claim to respect from us. No policy has been adopted by our Government which authorizes us to interfere directly on Mexican soil with that country, but there is nothing that I know of to prevent the free passage of people or material going through our territory to the aid of the recognized Government. Our neutrality should prevent our allowing the same thing when th
City Point (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 21
Chapter 21: The French in Mexico. Grant always regarded the French occupation of Mexico and the establishment of the Empire of Maximilian as a part of the attempt to subvert our own Republic, and his indignation at the course of Napoleon III on this continent, was both active and outspoken even during the war. I often heard him declare at City Point that as soon as we had disposed of the Confederates we must begin with the Imperialists; and when the Rebellion was actually crushed, it became his first object to insure the expulsion of the French from the neighboring country. On the first day of the Grand Review at Washington in 1865, he hurried Sheridan off to Texas, not leaving him time to witness the conclusion of the pageant, and gave him secret orders to watch the course of events on the Rio Grande. Grant, indeed, at this time, hoped that Johnson could be induced to issue a peremptory demand for the withdrawal of the French, and in case of non-compliance, that he would a

Between the would-be empire of Maximilian and the United States all difficulty can easily be settled by observing the snt by the aid of foreign bayonets; and on the 6th of September following Mr. Seward wrote to Mr. Bigelow, our Minister to France: We do not insist or claim that Mexico and the other States on the American continent shall adopt the political institutulsion of the Emperor of the French, evidently regarding the Mexican potentate as only the tool of his great prototype in France. On the 20th of July, 1866, Grant wrote to Sheridan: Your dispatch relative to selling the arms at Brownsville to f his Memoirs—written under the very shadow of the scythe of the Destroyer —may be found these lines: I did not blame France for her part in the scheme to erect a monarchy upon the ruins of the Mexican Republic.

Secretary of the Treasury to give clearances for a large lot of arms for Brownsville, for export beyond the limits of the United States. Some are now on the way, and others will follow. There has been entirely too much lukewarmness about Washington in Mexican affairs. I am afraid that it may yet cause us trouble. It looks to me very much as if Napoleon was going to settle the European quarrel in his own way, thus making himself stronger than ever before. If he does, will he not compel Austria to sustain the Imperial Government with such aid as he will give? This looks to me to be the danger to apprehend. You and I should, and we have done it, aid the Liberal cause by giving them all the encouragement we can. A Minister to the Liberal Government has been confirmed, but he is idling about Washington, waiting for Mr. S. to give him his instructions. On the 30th of July Grant wrote again to Sheridan: Since the repeal of our neutrality laws I am in hopes of being able to get au

I always told my chief whatever was said to me about him, of whatever character; but he was in no degree mollified. He was never good at concealing emotions of a harsher character, and disliked to the last all hollow courtesies. The Empress heard some of his criticisms and retaliated in kind. In the last months, almost the last weeks, of Grant's life, when he was closing his eyes upon the dissensions and rancors of this world, after he had forgiven the South and spoken kindly even of Rosecrans and Jefferson Davis, he still retained an implacable dislike for Louis Napoleon's acts and character. In the concluding pages of his Memoirs—written under the very shadow of the scythe of the Destroyer —may be found these lines: I did not blame France for her part in the scheme to erect a monarchy upon the ruins of the Mexican Republic. That was the scheme of one man without genius or merit. He had succeeded in stealing the Government of his country and made a change in its form ag

At the same time Grant wrote to Sheridan that there must be a large amount of captured ordnance inimilar articles left there by discharged Union soldiers. Sheridan was directed to send none of these articles to the North.s. This letter was delivered to Schofield to carry to Sheridan. It was on the 25th of July, 1865, that Grant wrote: It e in France.
