;rtarcoprse with the Envoy Extraordinary and Min
i+or Parliamentary of Great Britain. The Message
| is as follows
{. To the Senate and House of Representatives.;
| have ceased TO hold intercourse with the envoy
extraordinary and minister pleniPotentary OF heI
majesty, the Queen of the United kIngdoms Oh Ofe"'
Britain and Ireland near this government.
In making communication of this fact, 1t has been
deemed bv me proper also, to lay before Congress
the considerations of Indispensable public duty when
have led to the adoption OF measure OF SO much
importance They appear In the documents mere
with transmitted to both Houses"
! Hereafter follows the letter OF MIR. Marcy to MIR.
Dallas partly in reply to that from Lord Clarendon,
and partly for the purpose of announcing the def
mite conclusion to which this government has come
in default of the withdrawal OF MIR. Champion ana
the Consuls This is document of such 'mpor-
lance that even at the risk of occupying an unoue
proportion of limited space, we shall insert IL vi
Monday at length and need not therefore iiaAe any
very extended synopsis of it to-day except 1or the
use of those who have not, or fancy they rave no''
| the time to read the letter ITSELF
The President through Mr.. Marcy, recIprocases
the conciatory pirt displayed in Lord ClarendonS
last DISPATCH and is fully satisfied with the dScam-
or Of anv intention either to nrir &c the law or 10
disregard the policy not to respect the sovereign
rights of the United States, the part OF the BRITISH
government and their regret, if contrary TO their IN
tentions and their reiterated directions there has
| been any infringement OF the laws OF the Unneo
States The ground of complaint, so far as respects
| Her Maesty's government, is thus removed
But the individuals implicated in the enlistment
business are not acceptable representatives OF Her
| Majesty in this country and for this cause their
Withdrawal has beer asked for by the government OF
the limited States but not acceded 10 by Great Britain,
because of difference of opinion between the two
governments as to the completely of these persons in
illegal proceedings within the United States. The
main cause of the difference of opinion is the different
appreciation OF the proofs by which the charges
against Her Majes'ys diplomatic representative and
consuIs are sustained
| Lord Carendon's dispatch of the Goth of April
would convey the impression that the evidence ny
which the completely of these officers is established is
derived from Que or two witnesses whose credibilty
has been assailed. This, however, is not a correct
view of the case. Mr.. Marcy proceeds to bring tor-
ward mass of other conclusive testimony, at the
same time he remarks that Mr.. Champion having
long employed and maintained intercourse with Stfa-
BEL is not position to question the standing or We
racity Of his own agent, the holder OF Captains
commission in the foreign legion.
1t belongs exclusively to this government and It's
judicial tribunals 20 give construction to It's NUM-
cipal laws, and to determine what acts done within
its jurisdiction are nfringements of those laws
This is matter (which concerns is internal admlnls-
traon and it cannot allow the agents of any foreign
power to controver that construction, and justify
their conduct by different Interpretation OF our
laws which renders them ineffective for the purposes
intended 1t is by putting his own construction upon
our laws that Mr.. Champion contrves to deny his re-
sponsibility in certain cases
Mr. Mercy then goes into review of the circum
stances and the exculpatoy allegations OF Mr. Cramp
+ ton Abiding to one matter, he says:
Ct The Earl of Clarendon remarks in his letter O
the 3Oth of April that
"sThe intentions or the British government ant
the arrangements made to carry these intentions IN
to execution, not concealed from the government
= of the United States.
"sThose intentions and arrangements were frank
- " stated by Mr.. Champion to Mr.. Marcy in con
yersaton on the 22d Of March, 1855, and the only
. observations which Mr.. Marcy made in reply were
that the neutrality laws of the United States wou
be rigdy enforced but that any number of person
who desired it mis- ht leave thu United States and ge
enlisted in any foreign service
is incumbent me to say that, In this respect
the Earl of Clarendon labors under serious misappre
4 henson which, while it in part TO explain how
E it happened that the enlistment went on for so man
months in manner contrary to the intentions an
express orders of the British government, also serve
f to increase the weight of Mr. Champions respons
d bility in this respect"
n Mr. Marcy most distinctly affrms that Mr. CramI
ton has misrepresented him, and comments upon tn
a Misrepresentation in language of considerable 81
n verify. THIS would appear to be another of thos
- cases in which Mr.. Champion has either sgnedly
l. stupidity misunderstood misrepresented prominer
gentlemen in the United States, among the re
Messers. Clayton, Cass, and others. 1t is probabl
to something of this nature that Mr.. Marcy had re
ence when towards the conclusion of his despatc
the last paragraph of which we give in full, ne says
elf, in the earnest desire to act with all possb
.. courtesy towards her Maesty's government, Il
- President could have suspended his determination
the case in order to submit the testimony, whiC
ey he is confident would have been found sufficient
H. induce compliance with his request for the recG
of the British minister, he is precluded from al
such thought of delay by The exceptionable charact
a of dispatches of that gentleman, copies of whc
4 having been recently laid before Parliament, ha
thus come 10 the knowledge of this government, al
po which are CT tenor to render further mtercour
1t between the two governments, through that mnstt
alike unpleasant and detrimental TO their good u
-, derStanding
Gu 1.-The President has, therefore, been cOnsrainG
te by considerations of the best interest of both
it, tries reluctantly 10 have recourse 10 the only RENAL
,te ing means of removing without delay, these We
unacceptable officers from the connexon they nj
III have with this government. This course has be
lie deemed necessary on account Of their untnesS
ur the positions they hold arising from the very act
