continuance OF that kindly feeling Tor
those who may hereafter represent Her
Majesty in this country. My warm
thanks are also due for the invariabIe
a tention which has been shown
me by the different executive depart
ments, and particularly the State de-
partment, with which have been more
D plrticularlv connected. Although leav'
ing Washington with sorrow, it reiO!"es

itv which nov happily exists in this
