THE WITHDRAWAL OF MASON From
ENGLAND.

ENGLAND.
The Indez, the London organ OF the rebels
publishes the text OF the letter in which Nj.
Mason announces the termination of the Con
federate mission to England.
The letter is dated September 81, 1863, and is
addressed to Earl Russell. MIR. Mason saws
that he is ordered by his Government to with
draw at once from England, and gives his
reasons, as follows:
1.-THE President believes that the Government
or Her Majesty has determined to decline the
overture made through You for establishing.
by treaty, friendly relations between the two
Governments, and entertains no intention ~
receiving you as the accredited Minister of this
government near the British Court Under
these circumstan ces your continued residence in
London is neither conducive to the interests
nor consistent with. the dignity Of this Govern.
ment, and the President therefore requests that
you consider your mission at an end, and thai
you Withdraw with your Secretary from Lon
aHaving made known to vaur T,ordsh;, On
my arrival here the character and purposes of
the mission entrusted to me by nv Govern
ment have deemed 1t due to courtesy thus to
make known to the Government OF Her MAJ
esty its termination, and that shall, as direct
ed, at once withdraw from England

sloner TO That government, "and yet France"
complains the Indcs) "equally with England.
HAS 30 lar reIralned from entering into inter.
national relations with the Confederate States.
Tnere must be, then, some overruling cause
for the difference thus made between France
ana England in the termination OF one mission
and not the other" n II
'There may be grave reasons, regarding mol.
Icy or public law, why France, like ENGLAND.
may not deem II incumbent as yet to recogniye
those States as an independent political GO wer.
but their representative has been freely admit
led TO every form OF Intercourse with the Gov
eminent OF France, TO personal interviews with
inc Emperor whenever he had asked for them.
with immediate access to all or any of the min.
istiy at first request"
This the index claims is but an ordinary
courtesy, but the refusal to admit Mr.. SIdeil
9" ouid De an actual Indignity to those whose
I'm England Mr.. Mason has been held nv
the Government in the very opposite position.
His correspondence with the Foreign Once

deep and universal Indignation. It showed
that, with the exception o. . single and formal
interview with Earl Russell, on his arrival.

course whatever"

argument and says there Ii no courtesy or dis
courtesy I'm the matter. II IL al! policy; and
that, sfor reasons which he alone knows, the
