" 6, Barton-ttreet, Westminster, Mai 37, 1852.
"My Lord,—The communication of your lordship of the
24th inst., by Mr. Addington, reached me hero to-day.
" The feelings with which I perused such a document I
will not attempt to express to your lordship.
" Now, my lord, you will do me the favour to remember,
that a British subject, my son, was attacked in Morena by
two armed Austrian officers, receiving the most 'unmerited
and brutal treatment,' as your lordship has expressed it;
that he was cut down by one of them, left in his
blood, his life in danger for a length of time, and his health
perhaps for ever injured; and all this without any provo-
cation, any offence, as has been proved by evidence not to
be controverted, by the most respectable witnesses—people,
the subjects of the state whose officers had so acted.
" Yet, for all this, no real redress has been obtained : that
officer is still at large, and remains unpunished.
" Upon my return from prosecuting the inquiry at Fla
mace, you demanded to know what redress and reparation
I deemed sufficient for such an outrage ; to that demand,
in my memorandum of the 6th March, I replied—' lit.
That some marked punishment for an act, proven by the
sworn evidence of impartial witnesses, to have been gross
and unprovoked, should he inflicted upon the offender, such
so is fitting for an act of that description committed upon a
British subject b' an officer of another country at amity
with Britain. 1% hat that should be it is for Lord ?chimes.,
bury, who represents British interests and British honour,
and officially secures protection to British subjects abroad
to decide.'
. _

" Whatever personal reparation you might deem proper
to demand—which I conceded with regret to your lord-
ship's express commands, as I foresaw a pr3bable misappli-
cation of such concession—was, as you know, to give place
to the public honour.
"You now inform me that Prince Schwarsenberg, the
late l'rime Minister of Austria, previous to his death, 'hail
addressed a note to her Majesty's government, expressing
his great regret at the occurrence, and at the act of the
Austrian officers.'
" The extent of such regret ntly be estimated by this.
The Austrian officer, who stained the honour of the Aus-
trian army by his bloodthirsty and cowardly act, has been
allowed to go free and unpune•hed ; and his conduct has
been approved, at least defended, by Prince Sehwerzen-
berg's lieutenant, the Austrian commander-in-thief in
Tuscany, Prince Lichtenstein.
" This man I frequently saw in all the pride of military
array and overhearing insolence in the streets of Florence,
a public example to his brother officers and the world of
the impunity with which British subjects may be treated,
and the evidence of the low estimation of his superiors f
British honour and British power.
" This, all the while that British statesmen and diplo-
matists were making urgent dem.dads for redress—your-
lordship amongst the number.
" Ilas anything been done since to impress them with
the contrary?
" Your lordship continued to demand redress at Florence,
notwithstanding Prince tichwarsenberg's note, as I undet-

stood you. Has it been obtained ?
" The offer made by the Tuscan government, as named
in your communication, is too absurd to be deemed so; and
which is even submitted to me in terms as if it were felt
to be most humiliating.
"It would require of itself no notice from me ; but that
it is an indication of the expected impunity with which an
Anetrisin °Meer may outrage a British subject, and a prece-
dent and encouragement to any one disposed to repeat such
offence. In that it is a matter of some concern.
t" The patriotic manner in which I have repeatedly
expressed myself in this unfortunate affair,' as you are
pleased to observe, has originated in feelings that induce
me now to express the pain which I feel, that this crime
is sought to be compromised, end the indignation, as far as I
am concerned, with which I reject the offer of the Tuscan
government and any participation in such proceedings.
" I will not pretend to he &judo of what is due to the
honour of England, but I know what is due to my own.
My eon, who is still abroad, will, I am sure, participate in
three sentiments.
" I have the honour to remain, my lord, your lordship's
most obedient and humble servant,
" JAMES MATHER.
" To the Right Hon. the Earl of Malmesbury, her Ma-
jesty's Secretary of State."
