WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 28.-The main points Of
this voluminous correspondence are contained in
the letters from Mr.. Secretary Marcy to Mr.. Buch-
anan. In one dated July 10Th, is o statement
that something more than disavowal will be e1-
pected from Great Britain for infringing on the
rights Of this country, and that she should dis
charge from her service oil whom she had enlisted
in the United States, or who had left this country,
unless contracts had been made here to enter the
British army.
A letter from Mr. Buchanan, July l6, reports
that Lord Clarendon had said that friendship

Pirecs to ask her Britannia Majesty's government
to recall him Also similar instructions were sent
respecting the British Consuls Rowencroft Bar
clay and Mathews Consuls at Cincinnati New

Of complaint, as instruction had been sent to Mr..
Champion to terminate,the enlistments before Mr..
Buchanan's note had been received.

B.. desires him to inform Clarendon that the Pres

Champion, and says that her Majesty had thought
that frank expression ofregret for any violation
