The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister

last respectively, in regard to the which were
committed in New Orleans after the piratca invasion of
Bahia Honda.
The undersigned has just received reply from her Ma
estys Government expressive of the very deep grief it
had experienced Gas it to be expeced consequence
of such omnous and abominable events. Nor has the
Spanish Government felt less pain in seeing the uty
the numerous and constant efforts had made with view
to prevent the catastrophe which has been witnessed in
the island Of Cuba 1t is certainly not its own fault if
turning deaf to all it's warnings and persisng to
disdan the voice of and of justice of wicked
agtaors have succeeded in carrying into effect under
taking which has been denounced all times every
civilized nation and which had condemned before
hand by the enlightened public opinion of the country
Since the Cardenas expedition of last year. military pre-
paratons have been going without interruption
rous points of the Conederacy keeping the Island of Gu
ba in constant state OF uncasness until finally the new
attempt upon Bahia Honda consummated in spite of
our repeated protests and constant reclamations
And if the scandal which the New Orleans agitators
presented to the world in sending pracal expeditions
against country from which not the least insult pro-
vocation had been received and with which the Govern
ment was entirely at peace guaranteed by solemn
treaties and preserved until this moment through the
dunn of the most friendly intercoursehad not been suf
Gent these and other agators, in the phrenzy of
just resentment have committed upon the territory of the
United States acts of violence which of public
rety and which would not have been justified under
circumstances OF open state of between the two
Governments. tt
Apprizcd all the facts her Maestys Government has
ordered the undersigned persist in asking he again
asks in the name of said Government for full satisfaction
for the aggravated insults committed upon the Spanish
flag and upon her Majestys Consul in New Orleans
also that the Spanards residing in that city shall be in
Identified for the losses they have sustained the hands
of an Infatuated and icentious mob
Her Majesty Government has been likewise informed
and it does not deny the fact how painful it has been to
the iusrous President of the Republic to see his aus
thority set ut Defiance and the noble mpershabe prnc
Piles contained in his proclamation, the 18th of last
April undervalued His Excellency however cannot fail
likewise to acknowledge his part and in the pleni
tude of his liberal sentiments how impossible it is for
Spain put up with such outrages which has never
tolerated before If the excitement produced in the South
and at other points recent events has been umuuous
Iar-Sprcu, sensation winch mas Deen caused
Spain has been equally deep well unanimous among
all classes and parties, with the public press md in pr
vate life, at Court well in the provinces In the
Island of Cuba there also exists opinion the subject
which the Spanish Government is bound respect be-
it is at just and honorable And in view Of
this expression of national sentiments her Maestys Gov
ernmen whether optional with it otherwise could do
less than to sustain at all hazards the honor of the
Casian flag without STAIN Notwithstanding the unfore-
disasters and msforunes through which the Spanish
nation has had to pass for long series of years nation
which shrinks from any species Of sacrifice when it
is question of maintaining her honor and of indicating
her rights
Her Maesys Government has been gratifed observe
that respectable portion of the people of the United
States have expressed themselves openly and resoluey
against the criminal committed in the South
and relying moreover upon the support which the Cab
net of Washington will meet from all good and sensible
her Maestys Government hopes also that the former
will succeed in suppressng and restraining all similar
misbehayiors.
The undersigned has been instructed inform the Gov
eminent of the United States that the Captain General
of the Island of Cuba has received positive orders from
her Maestys Government efficiently to protect the per-
and property of all Ango-Americans established
there because with the severity it has used towards
the praca invaders Of Spanish territory it would like
wise punish all who should attempt commit any offence
against those respectable foreigners who reside there
under the assurances of our good faith.
Her Maestys Government fears however that if these
agitations and hostile designs should continue, the SUI
preme authority of the island might be placed in such
circumstances not to be able avoid ordering all those
who belong the Southern States it. and even to
compel the United States Consul himself to quit in case
the Spanish Consul in New Orleans should not have re-
ceived due satisfaction.
