on your return you receive' from Admiral Horn.
by, communications apprizing yol Of the disagree
able result OF his visit 10 the coast Of Salvador and
also Of his intention TO send you some OF ships
sf-war, to be used you may direct and see ht
with view TO obtain full satisfaction for the many
hnsalts which the government of Great Britain has
suffered from mine, which insults, not specified by
you, have also been extended TO the persons EN-
pioyed by the British goyt rnmen as well as TO the
British public
Besides this, Mr. Consul, you procsed to speak
in q sense foreign 10 your mission, for you alude
70 q revolutionary IA ton which is making the
greatest efforts create public opinion in its fa
yor. and with this view producing the more false
and absurd Impressions with regard to the conduct
of Great Britais great monarchical power;
asserting, moreover, the moment as decisive to in
duce my government 10 adopt more decorous
sonduc in its intercourse with England, and to take
the necessary for putting an end to the false
and slanderous ass' Ttlons which have been atioat
with regard TO the proceedings of the British govern
ment and its agents. The government of Salvador
must, moreover chan ge the course II has pursued,
and put a stop 10 the publication of the public
papers, which yoR assert are recognized as the
official organs Of the supreme government Of Saliva
dor, formally demanding, at The same time, that
immediate Subtraction be gwen for the outrage
and iusults already complained OF, and requiring,
moreover, in the first place, that the government OF
Salvador issue decree IN which II VIII engage
faithfully 10 execute ali the stpulatlons OF the
agreements entered upon between Don Miguel Mon
taya and Don Juan Antonio Alvarado, as special
Charges of the government Of salvador, and your
self az entrusted with the affairs Of her Britannia Ma
iesty. Secondly, that the government OF Salvador
exonerate ID. Marcos ldlgoras, British consular
agent, of the duties 1T Il criminal judge, which
you say he has been obliged 10 fulhl by order ofthat
same government; and thirdly, that the supreme
government of Salvador direct 10 you charge
dsfiairs statement contradcting the manifes-
tors which the organs OF the government have re-
peatedly published concerning her Majesty and her
employees.
that the government of Salvador will not prove
diatory in giving the required satisfaction as, in
case that were not done, you would find yourself
under the obligauon OF giving orders TO the effect
that the ships OF Her Majesty, which will reach
the coast in the coming month OF September, shall
put in execution the most stringent and cosrcive
measures against the Stbte OF Salvador
Ths above having been submitted to the Presi-
dent of the Stale, | have the honor, under his
direction, To forward You the following reply -
The President is well aware that the armed
vessels of the Pacic may be a. the dsposa of the
consulate, and that his honor, the Consul, may
bring all the power this gives him, for he knows
very well that, by using violent measures, he may
compel the State 10 render the satisfaction he un-
Justly demands, and that the most hostile steps will
be taken in continuation of the aggressive and OPP
pressive system, thus ever impending reasonable
and peaoeabie arrangement
Your Honor Terms de nbeTate insults and OutraCea
the official expostulations which have ever been
made in the case of overbearing communications,
and oppressive acts, executed by your orders, and
violating the sovereignty Of the country. The
supreme government of Salvador could neither
keep silent nor fail energeticay TO protest, and
with that language 10 which the insults proceeding
from power ogHinst weakness and justice, cannot
fail 10 prompt They who speak of decofum in
language, should first exhibit II in the unobrusive-
ness and moderation Of their official conduct-in
their forbearance om taking any part IN the affairs
OF the county-in stnct regard for right, and
not for blind and mpassioned right in their own
causC-and, lastly, IN respect and regard for the
country where they exercise their functions. If
decoTum be duty, the peaceful, regular, circum-
scrlbed uthment OF consular duties is a no less
imperious one
Snch are the cause. Of complaint, which the
governments Of Central America have urged
against the British consul, while the other
hand The question rs asked, what are the insulting
expressions complained of when the words EN-
plcyed were the precise ones necessary TO desg-
Rate the acts OF violence OF which the country had
10 complain. AId 1t be allowed you, Mr. Con-
sui, TO act asyou have thought ht TO do is not the
language Of just complaint TO be allowed TO the
offended goyemmentl Viii it he reasonable to
blockade and tHke possession of the island aud
hafbers, 10 exact by violence homlthe employees of
Tmjillo, arbitrary sums which they delivered up,
that the place might be eyacuated unjustly TO
take possession Oi san Juan, 10 alter at pleasure

savsges, and Of Obtaining satisfaction for meney
claims, not fully proved ~ British subjsctsl And
will it not be allowed US Mr. Consul, 10 speak OF
all this IN strong and expressive erms, as of most
unjust yeyatcu.
Your honor lie. employed the word trembls
against this government, aud that word employed
after the use of volenee contrary TO the rights aRd
integrity OF the countTy--this word, after many
acts uudeniably intended to lower and degrade
Central Ameuoa--that word, flung in the face Of
the government, that u might actually sec and at
the same time fear tor the future deprivation and
outage, rs the most violent insult which could be
offered 10 the hIs. authority Of the country. II 10
