my hands has received the attentive consideration Of h
the contained in my note 10 you OF the 30h
Of April that no intention existed the part Of her Ma
Jesys government TO violate the laws, compromise the
neutrality, or disregard the sovereignty OF the United
States baye been accepted by the Presidents
ton OF enlistment has ceased TO exist between the
governments Of Great Britain and OF the United States.
It Is with much regret. howsver tua. her Majestys
able alter the view which he had taken of the conduct
Of her Maestys Minister az Washington and Of her Ma
jestys Ccnsus at New York, Philadelphia and Cincin-
na regard TO the transactions which have been under
discussion between the two governments
Mr.. Marty bad IN his despatch OF December 2S, 1855,
stated that the President OF opinion that these o
GERS q her Majesty had violated the laws OF the United
states by being parties TO ensments within the Union:
unacceptable organs Of her Maestys government in the
United States and that be consequently requested that
thew might be removed from their respective posts.
Her Maiesy's government did not share this opinion
Of the President in regard to the conduct of
inundated to those officers the charges made
against them and the evidence on which those charges
and as s1eh sa
they able to procure tending to invaidate the
testimony brought against them her MaJesys govern
ment laid all these matters fully and frankly before the
Of the United States with the persuasion tnat
they would the unfavorabc impression which had
been created the mind Of the President with regard to
the conduct and proceedings oil her Maestys Minister at
Washington, and Of the three above mentioned Consus.
II appears however, that this communication has not
rodnced nc elect which her Maes,y's aoyernment had
xpcced and Mr. Marcy, in stating that the Presidents
view Of these matters remaiHed unaltered, accompanied
that statement by number Of additional documents tend
ing to confirm the view which the President had orgi
nally taken of these matters.
Her Maesty's government have carefully examined
these additional documents, but do not find in them any
evidence worthy OF belief which should shake the con-
fdence which they have reposed the assurances OF Mr.
Champion and Of the Consult
Her Majesty's government retain the high opinion
which they have ned OF the ZEAL ability and in
tegry Of Mr. Champion, and OF the earnest desire by
which he has been animated to avoid all just cause OF
offence to the government 70 which he was accredited
Her Macstys government cannot but believe that on
many material points in respect TO his conduct the Presi
dent has been msed by erroneous information, and by
The o. %
to the conduct Of her Mestys Consus at New York,
Philadelphia and Cincinnati
the govern ments o. Two great Powers, must ne
cessariy be the s1Y,ect Of serious elaboration by
both and her Maesty's government have not failed "
give to this matter all the consideration which Justly
deserved
her Najesty's government had been convinced, like
the government Of the United States that her Majestys
officers bad in defiance Of their instructions, violated The
laws Of the United States her Maesys government would
both out Of Difference TO the United States and from due
regard 1.-THE authority the British crown, have remov.
ed those officers from the posts which they held.
cousiy and without any sppares belief that it had good
ground for doing TO break of its d 2lomac relations
with lthe minister accredited TO by her Majesty her
Najestys confidential servants answerabe Tor mants
ing the honor and dignity Of the crown could not hest
tate as to advising her Majesty equally TO break oil all
diplomatic intercourse with the minister o. such govern
ments accredited TO her court
But In the present her MaJestys government nre
bound 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,
that account unacceptable organs Of communication
with the government and authorities Of the United
Satce and her Maestys cannot deny to the
government Of the United States right similar TO that
which, in a parallel case they would claim for them
seNes-the right namely offermng their own Judgment
the bearing OF the laws OF the Union upon transac
tons which have taken place within the Union.
I have therefore. the honor inform that. how
deeply her Maestys government regret proceed
ing the part OF the President Of the United States
which cannot but be considered Of unfrendy cha
racter, they have not deemed It their duty that
count advise her Majesty TO command me TO suspend
my diplomatic intercourse with you; and ! have 10
you that the high personal esteem which felt
for you by all the members Of her Maestys
will render most agreeable myself have the honor
entering communication with you upon all matters
connected with the mutual relations OF two countries.
You will be certain Of meeting the part Of her Ma
jesy government the most friendly feelings towards
the United States and the most anxious desire so 70
range all questions Of difference 10 reconcile the just
rights interests Of the two countries with the
maintenance OF those amicabe relations the preservation
of which IS Of such great importance 70 both ! am,
