CONTRADICTIONS


NV attention has been called to article in the
"Union' Of the 25th inst, headed "Mr Carr consul
to Morocco" Will you do me the common JUS
tice To give place to the following remarks, in the
same columns where am attacked.
The public might be led by II to suppose that the
influence which il says has been used to persuade
the Emperor Of Morocco not to receive Mr. Carr
as my successor in the consulate at Tangier, had
been exercised by me; but 1t is too absurd to sup
pose for moment that could have sufhcient infu-
ence to induce him to place himself IN opposition to
powerful government like that Of the United States
The Emperor's conduct in this matter must be at
tributed to some other cause
In reply to the remarks you quote from the
"Globe, !" and the "New York Sur" to the effect
that l must have brought to the United States
the information that Mr. Carr would not be
received by the Emperor Of Morocco--wiseacres
accounting for its getting into the Courier des
Etafs Uns by falsely asserting that must have ira
yelled over Europe proclaiming il along the route,-
the only informa ton or knowledge had, or have,
that Mr.. Carr will most likely be refused by the
Moorish government, have communicated to my
own government l arrived at New York on the
4th 5th of September, direct from Gibraltar, on
board the barque Missouri.
could easily show land will do so, If compelled
by any further open or secret attacks upon my
character) much which ! am not here inclined TO
disclose relative to the whole of that affair between
MIR. Carr and the Moorish government, but dclicacy
| deny that have applied, or am an applicant,
to be reappointed to the consulate at Tangier. As
to my being the means of having Mr.. Carr removed
from Office, that might get his place, can con-
scientiously affirm that never applied for the place
until it was certainly known that he would be re-
moved. At the time first applied, 1t was fully be-
lieved that he had been removed.
| cannot close this without remarking upon the
base imputations cast upon the late MIR. E. W. A.
Drummond Hay, so long the excellent and respected
British consul general for Morocco. ! am not
ashamed 10 confcss--nay l am proud to own--that
was protegs Of that gentleman. He was the
friend of my youth. My father, before his death,
placed his family and the United States consulate
under the care of Mr.. Hay; he recommended each
member Of that family to his fostering carei and
though foreigner and Englishman, lie religiously
fulfilled the sacred responsibility imposed upon him.
II, in return for his kindness and friendship in q
land where all were foreigners, am not permitted
to make some return Of gratitude for his good
ness and care towards me and the family, would,
indeed, be unworthy as well as unfortunate.
Mr.. Hay was too honorable and high-minded to
nure any man, and too wise an officer to attempt
to exercise his influence with foreign government
to have its representative removed.
Perhaps il would be well for me here to point out
for the information Of the gentleman who wrote the
paragraph in the New York Sun, an error he seems
to have fallen into in stating that nativeborn
subject Of the Emperor Of Morocco. / am proud to
say (athough il would be no degradation to be born
of parents citizens of the United States Morocco
that am an American, and was born in Philade-
pha, in the State Of Pennsylvania; and that did
not leave my native city until nine years old.
remain, your most obedient servant,
JNO. F. MULLOWNY.
