These instructions, which I lay before your Lord ship without disguise. require no comment. Before I conclude this letter, it may be proper, very shortly, to advert to two communications, received by Mr. Secretary Smith from Mr. Oakley, after the correspondence with Mr. Jackson had ceased. The first of these communications (of which I am not able to ascertain the dale) requested a docu ment, having the efts ct of a special passport, or safeguard, far Mr. Jackson and his family, during their further stay in the Canted States. Tuts ap plication was regarded us somewhat singular, but the docoment, of which the tieceissty was not per ceived, was nevertheleas furnished. The remsims assigned for the application, excited some surprise. I have troubled your Lordship, in con%ctsation, with a few remarks from my instructions, upon our of those ressons, which I lake the liberty to 'Teat. The pt• er iu question states, that Mr. its kitou had already lweu Insist grossly insu:ted by the inhabitants of Hampton, in the unprovoked lan guage of abuse held by them to severed office:s hearing the h.'ing's uniform ; when these offiettio were themselves violently assaulted, 'and put hoo i iiiii anent danger."
