Foreign Office, June 26
Sir: The dispatch of Mr. Marcy, which you
| read to me on the 1lth instant and of which you
placed a copy in nay hands, has received the at
ten'ive consideration of her Majestys Govern
ment.
Her Msjcsty's Government are gratified at learn
ing that the>assurances contained In NV note tc
You of the Both of April that no intention existed
on the part of her Msesty's Government to violate
| the laws, compromise the neutrality, disregard
| the sovereignty Of the United States have been
unreservedly accepted by the President and that
tion of the enlistment has ceased to exist between
the Governments of Great Britain and of the Uni
| ted States.
| "It is with much regret, however, that her Mai
has been unable to alter the view which he had
taken of the conduct OF Her Majesty's Minister at
| Washington, aud Of her Majesty's consus at
| New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, in regard
to the transactions which have been under discus.
sion between the two governments
Mr.. Marcy had, in his dispatch of December %
1855 stated that the President OF opinion that
those officers of Her Msjesty had violated the laws
of the United States, by being parties to enlist.
mcnts within the Union; and he, on that ground,
considered that they had become unacceptable or
gans of Her Msjesty's Government in the United
States. that he consequently requested that they
might be removed from their respective posts
Her Majestys government did not share this
opinion Of the President in regard to the conduct
of those officers of Her Majesty; and having COM
municated to those officers the charges made
against them, and the evidence which those
charges rested, and having received from them full
denias of the truth of the charges, and such
boratng evidence as they were able to procure
tending to nvalidate the testimony brought against
them, Her Majestys governmentlad all these mat
ters fully and frankly before the government of
the United States, with the persuasion that they
would remove the unfavorabe Impression which
had been created in the mind of the President
with regard to the conduct and proceedings of Her
Msjestys Mi2ister at Washington and of the three
above mentioned consuls.
SIT appears, however, that this communication
has not produced the effect which Her Majesty s
government bad expected: and Mr.. Marcy, in sta
ting that the Presidents view of these matters re-
mained unaitered, accompanied that statement by
a number of additional documents, tending to
| firm the view which the President had originally
taken of these matters.
"Her Maiesty's Government have carefully exa.
mined these additional documents, but do not fiud
| in them any evidence worthy of belief which
should shake the confidence which they have re-
posed in the assurances of Mr.. Champion and of
| the Consuls.
"Her Majesty's government retain the high opin-
ION which they have held of the ZEAL ability,
and integrity of Mr. Champion, and of the earnest
desire by which he has been animated to avoid all
Just of offence to the government to which he
was accredited. Her Msjesty's government cannot
but believe that on many material points in respect
to his conduct, the President has been misled by
erroneous information, and by the testimony of
witnesses undeserving belief.
"Her Majesty's government entertains similar
convictions to the conduct of Her Majesty Con-
| suls at New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati
Such conflict of opinions on such matter
| between the governments of two great powers
must necessarily be the subject Of serious delibe
ration by both; and her majesty's government
have failed to give to this matter all the con-
| sideration which 1t Justly deserved.
"U her majesty's government had been con.
vinced, like the government of the United States
that her majesty officers had, in defiance of their
| instructions, violated the laws of the United
| States, her msjesty's government wond, both out
| of Difference to the United States and from a due
regard to the authority of the British crown, have
removed those officers from the posts which they
| held
"If the government of foreign country were
caprciOusly, and without any apparent belief that
| it had good ground for doing so, to break off its
diplomatic relations with the minister accredited
| to it by her majesty her majesty's confidential
| servants answerabe for maintaining the honor
and dignity of the crown, could not hesitate as to
advising her majesty equally to break off all dip
lomatic intercourse with the minister of such gov
| ernment accredited to her court.
But, in the present case, her majesty's govern
ment are bound to accept the formal and repeated
| declarations of the President of his belief that
| these officers of her majesty have violated the
| laws of the Union, and are, on that account, un
acceptable organs of communication with the gov
ernment and authorities of the United States and
her majesty's government cannot deny to the gov
| ernment of the United States right similar to
| that which, in parallel case. they would claim
for themselves-the right namely, of forming their
own Judgment as to the bearing Of the laws of the
Union upon transactions which have taken place
within the Union
"Ihave, therefore, the honor to inform you that
| however deeply her majesty's government regret
| a proceeding on the part oe the President of the
United States, which cannot but be considered as
| of an unfrendly character, they have not deemed
1t their duty on that account to advise her majesty
| to command me to suspend my diplomatic inter-
course with you; and / have IL assure you that
the high personal esteem which is felt for you by
| all the members of her majestys government will
render it most agreeable TO myself to have the
honor of entering into communication with you
upon all matters connected with the mutual rela-
tions of our two countries You will be certain of
meeting, On the part of her msjestys government,
the most friendly feelings towards the United
States and the most anxious desire to arrange all
questions of difference to reconcile the just
rights and real interests of the two countries with
the maintenance of those amcabie relations the
preservation of which is ef such great importance
to both. am, &c, .
The following is an extract from Earl Clarcn'
don's letter to Mr. Dallas which contain. the giss
| of the whole letter. He says:
81 repeatedly informed Mr. Buchanan that it
was the wish of her majesty government to with.
draw from the protectorate of Mosquito, provided

| provision for the King aAd the Indians of that

ment could not to abandon the protectorate

friendly course 70 pursue was to refer the meaning
