Fenton's Hotel, Julie 16, 1856.—Sir,—Before Loikl
John Russell asks his question to-night, I think it of
importance that the country should be informed of the
facts stated in the accompanying document. I hope
you will give it a place in The Globe.—Respectfully,
W. BROWN, M. 13, for South Lancashire.

1. In 1793, M. Genet, the French Minister, by con-
duct endangering the neutral relations of the United
States, became personally unacceptable. General Wash-
ington, through his Secretary of Sate, set forth the
details of his conduct, and requested his recall. His
government disapproved his conduct and recalled him'
2. In 1809, Mr. Jackson, the British Minister, by
conduct which gave offence to the government of the
United States, became personally unacceptable to the
President, and he was informed that no further com-
munication could be held with him. Mr. William
Pinkney was then the American Minister in London,
and continued so without interruption. Mr. Madison,
President.
3. In 1850, M. Poussin, the French Minister, having
used language, in one or more diplomatic notes, want-
ing in respect to the Secretary of State, was sent his pass-

at the tune en route to the United States ; but his
successor, Mr. Rives, was received without obstacle,
and a new French Minister sent to the United States,
