the facility afforded to your departure by

TO authorize an infe, ence that you were

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN

Mr.. MADISON and Mr.. ROSE,
O" the subject Of the attack on tie
Chesapeake.
Mr.. Roses reply to Mr.. Madison's
letter published last week.
Washington, Mlrch II, 1908.
BEING deeply impressed with the
sense of his malesty's anxiety, that full
effect should be given to those views Of
justice and moderation, by which his
conduct has been regulated through the
whole of the unfortunate transaction
whence the. present differences have ~
risen; and of the disappointment of
which he would learn the Illustration of
his just and equitable purposes; haze
felt 1t incumbent upon me, on the receipt
OF the letter which you did me the honor
to address me on the 5th instant. to ap-
ply anew to this matter the most ample
and serious consideration. 1t is with
the most painful sensations Of regret tina,
l ind myself on the result of it, under
the necessity of declining to enter into
the terms Of negotiation, which BY di.
rection OF the president of the United
States, you therein offer. do not fee
my self competent, in the present in.
stance, to depart from those Instructions
which stated in my letter of the 26th o.
January last, and which preclude mt
from acoeding to the condition thus pro.
posed. Z should add, that I am abso.
lutely prohibited from entering upon
matters nnconnected with the specific OBJ
Ject am authorized to discuss, much
less Can Ithas give any pledge concern
ing them. The condition suggested,
moreover, leads to the direct inference
that the proclamation of the president Of
the United States of the ed ofJuly, So7
Is maintained either as an equivalent fol
reParatlon for the time being, or as .
comP0lsion to make it.
Its with the more profound regret thai
teel myself under the necessity Of de.
elaring, that I am unable to act upon tn.
terms thus proposed, as it becomes m,
duty tointorm you, in conformity to m,
instructions. that on the rejection of the
demand stated in my former letter, or
the part OF his majesty, my mission Is
terminated. And as his maiesty's 90,
vernmens in providing me with those in.
structlons, did not conceive that after
the declaration ofhis sentiments respect,
lngths affair of the Chesapeake wa. made
known to this government, the state o.
any transactions pending or unterm;r.,ed
between the two nations could Justify the
perseverance in the enforcement Of tn,
presidents proclamation, can exercise
no discretion on this point
AS on former occasion I detailed
though minu,ely, the motives for tha
demandon the part ofhis majesty, which
| with so much concern learn to be deem
ed inadmiss,ble by ,he>governmeut OF the
| United States, I should here abstain
from an exposition Of them, which visi.
bly, can have NO further effect upon the
