secretary Blaine. Reply to Italy.

] WAsHNaToN, April 2.--The Secreta ry yesterday wrote letter to Italial charge de affairs. h regard to Barol
 Fava's recall the Secretary says, I bel to express my sincere regret with whicl the Government of the United State receives the intelligence of Baron Fava' speedy departure from the capitol l though he has more than once intima ted this purpose, the government of tb, United States has been unable to SC, any adequate reasons for such step.
 The Raron's service here for the pas ten years has been distinguished at al times by most agreeable relations witl the Executive department of this gov. ernment
 The regret at his leaving is nn- | changed when the President believes he has been recalled under misappre. hension of facts by the government oI Italy. The cause Of his sundering bie diplomatic relations with this govern. mcnt is given in Baron Faya's note.
 The reparation demanded by the government of Italy, us had the honor to inform you, in our interview here during the last few days, were to con sist of the following points
 l. Official assurances by the Federal government that the guilty parties should be brought to justice. ?, The recognition in principle that an inden. niiy Is due to the relations of the vie. tins.
 The first demand, thus stated by Baron Faya is slightly changed in the phrases from that employed by him iG his many verbal requests based on telegram from Marquis Radini, which he left with me
 Marquis Rafiini declare,! that Italy s right to demand and to obtain punish ment for the murderers and indemnity for victims is unqnestioned ard 1t is in ferred ndia :hs, ibnt Baron Faya' B change O. pbra}e meant no change 0; de. mGnd have enieayored to impress upon bim in several personal inter views with which he has honored ne, that the government oi the United States is utterly unable to gige assur- ance which Marquis Rndini has de- manded
 Even if the National government hal entire jurisdiction over the alleged murderers 1t could not give assurance to eny foreign power that they shorld be punished The President is unable to see how any government could pos itiyely give assurance of this character in advance of the trial and .i,e verdict of guilty In the constitution of the United States it is declared that fin all criminal prosecutions, accused shall en- joy the right to speedy and public trial by au impartial jury of the state and distrit, wherein the crime was committed IL needs no argument to prove that th2 jury could not be inn partial ii t were in any sense or to any degree governed before trial of accnsed by an assurance which the President of tue United States had ventured to give foreign power. In the consti- tuition of the St,t. of Louisiana, under whose immediate iurisliction the crimes were eoirm.itej | substantially the same, Provision Is bound 80 the gov eTnor of that Stlte would be as unable to give pledge in advance for the rc suit Q. trial nader the State laws ns the President woali he were it practicable to try leaders oi the mob under the law of the United States
 In Baron Faya's second point he de- mands Ieeognition in principle that the indemnity is due relatives of victims He is IS urel llY nnder the gravest error when he declares that the United States government declined to take this de- mand into consideration and I shall re. sret if he has conveyed such conclusions to your government. The United States So tar from refusi6g, has dis. tinctlY recognised the principle of in- dcmnity to those Italian subjects who may be wronged by the relation of the rights secured to them under the treaty with the United States of February 2Cth, Fl. l have repeatedly given 10 Baron Faya assuraI ee that under the directions of the President all the facts and the incidents connected with that tragedy Gt New Orleans on the 18th of March last, should be most thorouahig investigated. 1 have also informed him that in matter of such gravity the government of the United States would not permit itself to be unduly hurried nor will ii make an answer to any de- ,iian until every fDet essential to cor rect judgment shall be fully ascer- tainea, through legal authority The impatienee of the aggrieyed may be natural, but it's indulgence does not alwas secure the most substantial justice
