he is most anxious TO preserve peace between the
NO countries, and lhat he will do every thing IN
ms power to ards that desirable object.
In reference 10 the course OF the Executive, SO

Mr. Livingston, with his Legation, 10 return, IN
the event of refusal to fulfil the Treaty, IS proper

vantage could be expected from his remaining

There Is no sense IN this diplomatic carte and
herte, # there lac desire both sides to maintain
peace between the two countries. II IL ulfllng
