of desire to return to my country, has favored me
with Letter Of Recall, and now have the honor

high estimate upon the maintenance Of the most
friendly relations with Ecuador the Chief Magistrate
Of my country has commissioned, as my successor
near the Government of your Excellency, the Hon
Orable Charles X. Buckalew. gentleman o! high re.
putaton for talent and for his pleasing manners and
q most worthy representative of the elder republic
of this hemisphere. .--..
The moment has consequently arrived, when, in
the performance of my last public act as the Dplo.
matte Representative Of the United States in this
Republic, it devolves upon me to take official leave
Of your Excellency, and of your executive colleagues
in this government And in The execution Of this
duty, | am instructed to assure your Exceency OF

have been OPPORTUNITY entrusted to the executive
guidance of your Excelency and TO express his anx
ious desire. that those cordial relations which have
so long served to keep alive a sentiment Of nterna
tional brotherhood between the two nations, may
continue through the lapse of ages to shed their
smeliora,:ng influence over the fortunes Of bsth
countries
And as regards myself Individually, can, in all
sincerity declare TO your Excelencv, that nv mis-.
sion in Ecuador has been one of peasanness, and
all my associations, official and personal with your
self and your colleagues, as well as with your imme-
date predecessors in this government, have been
characterized not alone by nice observance Of those
rules Of diplomatic intercourse that sanctioned by
international usages. and which to refine the
amenities of official life but superadded to these
have constantly experienced cordialty of greeting,
and succession of fattering attentions, which
sured me was in the midst of warm hearted friends,
among whom a community of interests and con-
geniality Of sentiments constituted us brothers in
principle and sharers in common heritage Of free
government
severance of relations thus cordial and pleasant
and which have been cemented by years of constant
and intimate association with the high functionaries
Of this Government, is an incident in my public

In yielding to these normal impulses Of the heart,

bearing most cheerful testimony to the marked sue
which, in view OF all the attendant circunStan.

which are seen and felt in the maintenance of per-
nanent g0rernment within your own borders, and
in the preservation of peace abroad and tranquility
at home,-while, with one solitary exception all
the other States Of hon,,eae. or,n this
continent, have been periodically desoated by civil
wars and wasted by fraternal bloodshed! And for
the very reason that many of your sister States

for so many consecutive years the ineStmable boon
Of peace and prosperity to your interesting country,

SO kindly expressed in the communication you have

crance of relations thus mutually agreeable, has
caused the profoundest regret among the members
Of this Cabinet, well the citizens Of Ecuador in
general, who cherish the sincerest esteem Tor the
high qualities and noble department of your Excel.

prves Ecuador of your frank and ardent cooperation
in maintaining unlnpared the amicable relations
which so happily exist between the two countries.

as the organ Of the two Governments, be pleased to
assure his Excellency, the President Of the United
States, of the sentiments of high esteem and exalted
appreciation which cherish for him. and my Ter.
vent aspirations for the increasing prosperity of the
enlightened and powerful nation which had the sa-
gacity and good fortune TO confide its political dest
MES to of the wsest and most lustrious of its
Statesmen.
