portant State paper. am not able to as
sert whether its PRONUNCIATION viii be imme-

ecutive trip. There is no doubt the docu-
ment in question, which is no less than
reiteration of a renewal of the demands of
this Government for restitution at the hands
of England for losses of American ship own
ers by the Anglo-C Confederate privateers, is
conceived with usual elaboration
