safeguard of the law of nations, the good sense of the.
Spanish people, and the power of my country, which I
fed resides as much in me alone, and in the midst of
evilly excited persons, as in the mighty armaments
which, under a sense of wrong, a word from the Sove-
reign of Great Britain can ever call forth.

Iu respect to other matters I shall not wilfully cause
any rupture of those relations of which you speak; but
after a series of measures so singular and unprecedented
as those which I have seen here lately, I can in no wise
answer for what may be the conduct of my Government.
Without, therefore, prejudicing that question one way or
the other, I leave Mr. Otway here, who will not be able
to carry on with you officially any affairs, without re-
ceiving further orders, but who, as a highly sensible and
trusty member of this legation, will, in case of any great
necessity, speak to you on any subject that may occur
respecting pressing British interests, and whe is autho
rised by me to sign passports and official documents Plc
British subjects.—l avail, &c.,

to say in person that the communication of my departure
at two o'clock this day had been received. And he then
added that he came also as an intimate friend of the
Duke of Sotomayor, who had charged him to come and
assure me of his great personal regard and esteem for
me, to which M. Caballero added his own expression of
similar sentiments.—l have, &c.,
