BIS Exccllency the Chevalier S. DE MAcEDo
Minister Penipotentary, SC, Washington.
The Department in this letter abstans from saying any
riug about Mr. Macedos expenses which appears to
very good taste. By it he made the guest Of
Ihz Government and the order furnish him
passage and accommodations TO Rio de Janero, and
pravide for his comfort in becoming manner so that
ne shall be subjected to expense on the voyage"
susmit whether under these circumstances should have
aeeu ating with proper OF delcacy to have
tanually reminded Mr. Macedo that he was being convey
al "a Brazil at the expense of our Government.
The letter of the Department Mr.. Maeedo is plain
i explicit in its terms and if he did not understand the
English language sufficiently comprehend its import il
fault of mine. II the Department had simply
cHei copy of its letter to Mr. Macedo, without Civ
ing specific order, it did, should have considered il
sufficient authority have conveyed him Rio de janet
the public expense. Such, apprehend wQall have
sen the construction placed upon it by any other officer
aF the navy, and well advised when say that the
aorntng officers Of the Treasury would have deemed Il
NJ eicen authority for the allowance Of any proper
aiiarge for the expenses incurred.
