much pleased to learn that the British Govern

immediate measures to put a stop to such pro-
ceadings. -
AEr. Buchanan communicated these views of
the President to Lord Clarendon, July 18th.

poets Great Britain to take effective measures to
discharge from her service such as were enlisted
in the D. s., and who left this country under
contracts made here to enter as soldiers in the
I British army.
Mr.. Buchanan to Mr. Marcy, July lftl, re-
ports Lord Clarendon as. saying that any in.
fringement of the laws OF the q. S.was entirely
contrary to the positive instructions of the
British Government, and as thinking that our
Government had no just cause to complain. The
British Government determined that all proceed

!structions to that effect had been sent before Mr.
Buchanan had received his.

Lord Clarendon to Mr. Buchanan, Sept. 9th,
complains that we have violated our neutrality,
saying that arms and military stores in large

tvs dominions

port of the Hortz trial, saying the disclosures
made thereby leave no doubt of the facts in, the

Mr.. Buchanan to Mr.. Marcy, Oct. Sd, says the
enlistment case presents serious aspect, and re-
marks that the plots referred to by Lord Claren-
don mean the movement of the Irish Emigra
ton Society of Boston, the members of which
must be astonished at the importance their
scheme has elected from the British Govern
mcnt and press.
Mr.. buchanan (no date) assures AR. Marcy
that he did not entertain the most remote idea
that the enlistment question had not been salts
actoriy settled, until he heard of the completely

to remove all causes for further complaint, by
putting an end to all proceedings for enlistment,
which satisfaction ought honorably to terminate
