Earl Of Mrlmesbpry to Lord C0rley.

fOREIGN OFllCB, MhTcu 4, 1919.
My LoRD: You will take the earliest OppJrtunit}
Of assuring Count Walewski tina. her VI sj 3stys ad
vissrs on their accession TO Office, earnestly de
srous Of maintaining in their integrity those close an
friendly relations which since the restoration OF th
Empire have marked the allis1ce between Franc
md Great Britain, TO the great bench. OF both cou-
tIes.
Convinced that these sentiments are shared by the
Government of his Imperial Majesty, and that both
Governments will in the opinion that such
friendly relations are best maintained by frank and
EnTeserved intercourse, her Maje'tys Government ap
pesi with confidence b that of his imperl Majesty
ad them in their endeavors 10 some causes of
msapprehension which, it cannot be denied, have
produced and if suffered to remain unexplained must
continue to produce, painful effects upon the pubic
II I'd Of England.
Your Lordship will assure Count Wee gsk that he
Haesty's Government entertain the fullest lnvCtiOQ
that his EIceency, IN his dispatch OF the 2Oh Ot Az
usry written at moment when the jlst udi gnat.On
Of France and Of the world had been excited by the
late atrocious and oOwardly attempt upon the lie OF
his Imperial Majesty, and under the impression ths.
the laws Of England were insufficient 10 protect his
Imperial Majesty against repetition of such ate
upon the part OF foreign refugees resident il Great
Britain, had other intention than that Of pointing
GU: TO her Msestys Government what appc Ired to be
Of danger to France, and inviting their aten-
ton 10 the supposed defect.
lfsuch has been from the first the hope of her Maj
esty's Government, that hope has been ple,ely
realized by the full and frank assurances which lun
Waewsh has spontaneously given, as reported in
your dispatch Of the 23d of February, of his astonsh
phrases in his dispatches TO Count Perssny, Of the
10th OF January, " asonishInent that his meaning
"could have been msunderstoOd, and regret that he
"should be believed with his knowledge OF England,
capable OF applying, generality nputation
(which the context of his dispatch ought he thinks,
"to have proved could only have been intended for
definite class Of strangers"
Though her Msesty's Government have, from the
first entertained the belief that consruc
ton had been put on Count w alewskis dispatch, they
receive with the highest satisfaction the voluntary
tSfaa hgpAr Ia alaon ,,f
meaning which be believes TO have been attributed to
him; and in the spit of caDdor they desire TO call
his attention TO those expressions which really hsvc
produced uufavorable imprcssiOL On the public
opinion ofthis country.
Your Lordship will therefore remark g Count
Wslewsk that lis EXcelency, III stating that tue
attempt which has just providsntialy failed, " Ink
otkeIs which have preceded it, was devised in
England; in speaking with reference TO the 0dtP
dc la d6magogie established in England; of " assassi
"nstion elevated to doctrine, preached openly p.ac
tced in repeated attempts, and in asking whether
the right of asylu lum SHOULD protect such state
things, contribute to favor their designs and tler
plans has not unnatually been understood to imply
impu.atons not only that the oenses ated are
not recognized such by the English law, and may
be committed with impunity, but that the spirit of
English legislation is such as desgnedy to shelter and
screen the offender from punishment
Her Msjesty's Government are persuaded that had
Count Walewski known, when his Excellency held
with your Lordship the conversation to which have
s3verted above tnat such construction put upon
would have had difficulty IN adding 10 the
then given the further assurance that nothing could
have been further from his intention than TO convey
mputaton injurious alike TO the morality and the
honor Of the Britsh nation. All the offenses which
his EIcellency enumerates, on being proved TO the
satisfaction Of jury subject the person convicted to
the infection Of penalties less severe; an #
have been brought to the notice Of the Govern
ment Of his Imperial Majesty which may appear to
have been overlooked by her Maiesty's Government,
is not TO be doubted that the advisers of esty,
olstst IAN
motives of discretion quits consistent with earnest
deslre 10 repress such otfenses.
Subsequently, however TO the late strOcous attempt,
proceedings have been instituted IN two cases-Onc
for compcity in the late murderOus attempt another
for a publication "elevating assassination to doc
trine and another similar is under the
sideration of the law-oficers OF the Crown.
1t 10 hoped that these considerations will satisfy
Count Waewsk that either his expressions have been
greatly misunderstood, or that they have been made
under an erroneous apprehension OF tue state OF the
law in this country and that in either his Excel
lency will not hesitate, with tina. rankness which has
characterized his conduct, 10 offer explanation
which cannot fail 10 remove any existing ni,cDn-
ception,
Your LOrdship will read this dispatch to Count
Waewsk, and leave copy with his EIcel'enoy.
