ces who occupy that place, with the object to hurt
or intending to hurt the forces of the supreme
government, whom | have the honor to command
in Rivas will now inform you that l am not or
will not be responsible for what may happen 10 you
personally for having interfered in our domestic
dissentons to the prejudice of the supreme govern
ment, who has recognised and submitted him, as
much..as the same made himself bearer of communi-
ali

your letter of yesterday, in which you inform me
that you are Compelled to manifest to me your
protest against my return to the city OF Granada
with the object of injury to the forces under your
command in the town of Rivas."
1 reply that had no such object in visiting
Rivas as will appear more fully by letter wrote
to the military Governor of that department, a
copy Of which l enclose to you. had no per-
sonal desire to leave Granada; but, influenced by
the chief citizens of Granada (your friends(, the
venerable fathers of the church, the tears OF your
sisters daughters and others, | consented 70 visit
you in company with Don Juan Ruez, the Minis.
ter of War; and your superior in office, bearing the
olive branch of peace, and proposition from the
Commander General Of the democratic forces to
make you the provisional President of the Repub-
lie.
When found that you were absent, and when
desired to return to this place, judge my surprise
when | was informed both by the President and
Governor, that could not return-and was thus
held for two days actually prisoner OF war, with
nv secretary servants, and my national flag. For
this gross act of the violation OF the laws oil nations
and my rights as an ambassador, protest; and be
assured, General, that my Government will hold
YOU and your Government to severe responsibility
for this lawless act
: You futher inform me that if Ireturn to Grenada
that you will not be responsible for nv personal
safety and you will inform Gov. Marcy, the Secre-

word of honor, given TO the Governor Of Rivas TO
remain here two days to await your reply, i shall
return TO Granada, and that do not request, nor

my personal safety; the flag of the United States
is sufficiently powerful for my protection, backed
IL is by patriotic President and thirty million Of
