Wishing to avoid the possibility Of offending the
susoeptibilities of the Mexicans, the Admiral was
sent on a personal, rather than an official, mission.
On the 4th Of Sep;.4nber the Admiral presented
himself at the Office of Foreign Affairs OF the
Mexicans, in'the city Of Mexico, and stated, as ap-

1t be admitted that it is unworthy and ignoble to
decide ones own quarrels by pugilism, it must be
worse to fight under the orders of a third party
