gainst the possession lately taken by the u
Eited States Of certain parts Of West Flori-

Although the president cannot admit the
right Of Great Britain to interfere IN eny
question relating to that province, he is will

considerations which induced the United
States to take the step against which you
have been ordered 70 protest.
II is to be inferred from your view Of the
subject, that the British government has been
laugh, 70 believe that the United Ststes seiz-
ed a moment of national embarrassment 70
wrest from Spain province n which they
had no right, and that they.were prompted
to il by their interest alone, and a knowledge
that Spain could net defend II. Nothing,
however, is more remote from the fact, than
the presumption IN which your government
appears tn have acted. Examples of so un-
worthy conduct are unfortunately too fire.
