American Government had a just cause of corn-
against us. Although it was, no doubt, painful and
humiliating on the part of this country to submit to

removal of our Minister from America, and at
sahle time to recognise the authority of the
American Minister in this country, yet, believing the
Americankr Government had just cause of complaint against
