made for a copy of the British note for pub
lication, but without success, the refusal
being based on the ground that to
furnish it would not only be against
precedent, but disrespectful to the

the proceedings; and it was further said to-
night, by high executive officer, that not
even the substance of the British note could
now be communicated through an official
source, nor had it been repeated to any pri-
vate parties. At the same time it was re-
marked that, as the note was of friendly
character, and couched in delicate language,
and as the reply would be in like temper,
there was, therefore, no cause whatever for
apprehension as to the continuance of peace
between the two countries"
