DISABILITIES OF AMERICAN
PERSOAS OF COLOUR.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
Sin,—l beg to forward to you a correspondence which
has recently taken place between Miss S. P. Remond, a
free-born American lady of colour with whom I have the
honour to be acquainted, and Mr. Dallas, the American
Minister in this country. I add a copy of her passport.
You will observe that a visa to Miss Remond's passport
is refused by the American Minister on the sole ground that
she is a person of colour.--I am, &c.,
London, Dec. 29.
A BARRISTER.

6, Grenville-street, Brunswick-square, W.C.,
Dec. 12, 1859.
beg to inform you that a short time since I went
to the office of the American Embassy to have my passpoli
vised for France.
I should remark that my passport is an American one,
granted to me in the United States, and signed by the
minister in due form. It states what is the fact, that lam
a citizen of the United States. I was born in Massa-
chusetts.
Upon my asking to have my passport visaed at the Ameri-
can Embassy, the person in the office refused to affix the
visa, on the ground that I am a person of colour.
Being a citizen of the United States, I respectfully demand
as my right that my passport be visaed by the minister of
my country.

As I ancdesirous of starting for the continent, I must
request an answer at your earliest convouience.—l remain,
sir, your obedient servant,

SARAIL
The Hon. --. Dallas, American Minister,P. REMOND,
24, Portland-place.
Legation of the United States, London, Dec. 14, 1859.
Miss Sarah P. Remond.
I am directed by the Minister to acknowledge the receipt
of your note of the 12th inst., and to say in reply, he must,
of course, be sorry if auy of his countrywomen, irrespective
of colour or extraction, should think him frivolously dis-
posed to withhold from them facilities in his power to grant
for travelling on the continent of Europe, but when the in-
dispensable qualification for an American passport, that of
" United States Citizenship," does not exist; when, in-
deed, it is manifestly an impossibility by law that it should
exist, a just sense of his official obligations under certain
instructions received from his Government as long as the
Bth July, 1856, and since then strictly conformed to, con-
strains him to say that the demand of Miss Sarah P. Re-
mond cannot be complied with.—Respeefully your obe-
dient servant,
1313.N.T. Monix, Assistant-Secretary of Legation.
Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of yesterdays date.
Tho purport of your communication is most extraordinary.
You now lay down the rule that persons free-born in the
United States, and who have been subjected all their lives
to the taxation and other burdens imposed upon American
citizens, are to be deprived of their rights as such, merely
*cause their complexions happen to be dark, and that they
are t) be refused tho aid of the ministers of their country,
whose salaries they contribute to pay.—l remain, sir, your
obedient servant, SARAH P. REIIOND.
PASSPORT.—I, the undersigned Secretary of State of the
United States of America, hereby request all whom it may
concern, to permit safely and freely to pass Sarah P. Re-
mond, a citizen of the United States, and in case of need to
give her all lawful aid and protection.
Given under my hand and the impression of my seal of
the Department of State of the City of Washington, the 10th
day of September, A.D. 1858, in the 83d year of the Inde-
pendence of these United States. LEWIS CASs.

RETURN OF TIIE IRISH ASSEMBLY'S DEPUTA-
TION FROM AMERICA.—The Rev. Dr. Edgard, the Rev. S.
M. Dill, and the Rev. David Wilson—the Irish General
Assembly's Deputation to the United States of America—
landed at Queenstown at half-past two o'clock p.m., on
Wednesday last, after d somewhat tempestuous voyage.
We may mention that the friends in America of our mis-
sion schemes have sent the deputation and the mission
secretaries home some £6,000 richer than they wore upon
their departure.—Xcifitst Bay nee.
