Extract Of a, letter from Mr.. Pinkney to Mr..
Smith, Secretary Of State Of the United
States, dated London, March /, 1911
81 had my audience of leave at Carlton
House yesterday. In the course of the short
address which the occasion required, stated
to the Prince Regent the grounds upon which
it had become my duty to take my leave and
to commit the business of the legation to a
| Charge d'AHaires and l concluded BY ex-
pressing my regret, that my humble efforts,
in the execution of the Instructions of my go
verninent to set to rights the embarrassed and
disiointed relations of the two countries had
wholly failed, and that saw no reason to ex-
pect that the great work of their reconcilia-
ton was likely to be accomplished through
any other agency.
The Princes reply was of course general;
| but ought to say that exclusively of phrases
of courtesy it contained explicit declarations
of the most amicable views and feelings To-
wards the United States. Lord Wellesley
was the only person present at this audience.
While was in the outer room, waiting un.
til the Prince Regent was ready to receive me,
Lord Wellesley told me that they intended to
send out Mr.. Foster Immediately
Extract Of letter from Mr.. Pinkney TO the
Secretary ofState fthe u. States.
Cowes, May 7, 1911.
I enclose duplicate copies (more legibls
than those transmitted in my letter of the 9th
of March) of Mr.. Russell's communications
to me of the lst, It'll, 9th and Soth of De-
cember last. They are necessary to account
for, not the general characte1npr substance of
nv late correspondence WtHNord lVelIe slew.
but that particular part of the last paragraph
of my letter to that nobleman of the l4th OF
January, 1911, which is contained in the fol-
! lowing words: The information which
/ have lately received from the American lega-
ton at Paris, confirms what have already
stated, and think proved to your lordship,
that those DEGREES aresgepealed and have
ceased to have any effec@S
have the honor to be, &c. &c.
