State BY my two notes of the 18th
and 18th insts l had the honor to call
your excellency's serious attention to oc-
| currences of exceptional gravity which
took place at New Orleans on the 14th
whereby four subjects of the King of
Italy who were confined in prison of
that city were massacred by the
crowd under leadership of two
American citiZ8ns After having
formally protested against the unjushf
able conduct Of local authorities which
were evidently recreant to all their du.
ties On that occasion, [ reserved to the
government of his Majesty the right to
demand such satisfaction as it might
think proper, since the occurrence in |
question constituted a patent violation |
Of the stlpulatlons Of treaty in force he |
tween our two countries which secures |
to Italian subjects residing in United |
States the same protection that is enjoy
ed by American citizens and which has
always been extended to latter in Italian
territory. The reparation demanded by
the government Of the King, as | have
had the honor to inform you in our in
tervlews held during the last few days,
were to consist of the following points:
, q. The official assurance by the Fed
) eral government that the guilty parties
, should be brought to justice.
: (2) The rec ignition, in principle,
5 that an indemn, tY is due to the relatives
l of the victims
: Your Exc1iiency was pleased to de-
t cluce " me, that, as the Federal gov
ernment did not think that it could take
e this view Of the case, it declined to take
:, the two aforesaid demands into consid-

r, cious, has ordered me to take my leave.
In obedience to the instructions which
