ting aside all suggestions of this kind, I
prefer to express my satisfaction that
by adjustment OF the present case upon |
principles confessedly American, and /
yet, IS trust, mutually satisfactorily to
both nations concerned, a question is
finally and rightly settled between them
which heretofore exhausted ne. only all
forms of peaceful discussion, but also
the arbitrament of war itself for more
than half a century, alienated the two

ed with fears and apprehensions of all
other nations.
q The four persons in question are
now held in military custody at Fort
w Warren. in the State of Massachusetts.
They will be cheerfully liberated, and
your Lordship will please Indicate a time
and place for receiving them.
al renew my assurance of my very
high considerations.
