Ternment Of any particular afate, consider
ing him the irgal and proper organ through
whom all official correspondence should

ing TO the treaties made with our nation
and The United Safes.
" Some differences existing bet een the
present Agent Of he Greek Nation, and
myself, and not having any confidence in
his advice, ! have determined to Act sccor-
ding To the dictates OF my best Judgment,
which results in the determination to agree
tn the request of Your ExcelIrncy ia giving
my consent, ana IN behalf Of the nation
who signed the treaty, their consent tina,

It was TO your people 70 be ready to occu-
py the country Immediately after our re-
moval from il, and have with true hearts

would have though it dsgracrfu in rs To
