Mr.. Secretary of Slate
by my two notes Of the 10Th and
18th instant, I had the honor 10 call
your Exccliencyr serious attention To
occurrences Of exceptional gravity
which took plncc Mt New Orleans on
the 18th, whereby four subjects Of the
King " Italy, who were confined In
the prison " that city, were massacfci
by crowd, under the Leadership OF
two American citizens. After having
formally protested against the unjusti.
fable conduct Of the local authorities,
who were evidently rccreant 10 NIL
their duties on that occasion, | reserved
TO the government Of his Majesty the
right 10 demand such satisfaction m u
might think proper, since the occur.
renee Ia question constituted u patent
violation u the treaty In force between
the two countries, which secures 10
Italian subjects residing In the United
States the same protection enjoyed 10y
American citizens, and which has nj
ways been extended to the latter Ia
italian territory.

pcfiRli ~ iollOw.:
| beg 10 express the sincere regret
With which the Government OF the
United states receives tho intelligence
Of Baron Fava's speedy departure
from this capital. Though he has
more than once intlma,,d this pur.
post, the Government OF the United
States has been unable 10 see adequate
rcasous for such a step. This BsrOn's
services here for the past ten years
have been distinguished nj all times by
the most agreeable relations with the
Executive Department OF this Govern
ment. The regret ut his leaving IL
enhanced when, as the President bc.
licvrs, he has been rec allied under n
MISREPRESENTATION Of facts by the gov.
eminent u Italy.
The cause of his severing his
diplomatic relations with this Govern.
ment IL thus given Ia his note: "rhe
rcparaiion demanded by tho govern.
ment Of the King, m have had the
honor TO Inform you In our interviews
held during the Int few days, were TO
consist Of the following points:
"First-Ofiicial assurances by the
Federal Government that the guilty
PARTIES should les brought To justice.
"Sccond-By recognition In princi.
pie that an indemnity Is due To the
RELATIVES OF the victimf.'
The nfst demand thus stated by
Baron Fava ir slightly changed In
phrase from that employed 10y Inn In
his many verbal requests, based on u
telegram from Marquis tudini, which
he lett with me. Marquis Nidini de-
clared that "ltaly's right to demand
and 10 obtain punishment OF the muir.
derers and Indemnity for the victims IN
uDquestionablc." II IL inferred tim,
Baron Fava'r change OF phrase meant
no change Of demand. ! have Gu.
deavoIed TO impress upon him In the
several personal Interviews with which
he has houored me, that the government
OF the United States Ia utterly unable
to give the assurance W ich Mnruuls
kudinl has demanded. Even " the
national government had entire jurls.
jlction over the alleged murderer, il
could not give assurance 10 any foreign
power that they should be nun.
ished. The President Ii unabl. To
see how any government could lust.
ly give assurances OF this character
In advance of trial and a verdict
OF guilty" In the constitution OF the
united States 1t Is declared that sin
all criminal prosecutions tho accused
shall enjoy the right of sp,ssdy and
public trial by an impartial Jury Of tho
State and district wherein the crime
sh all have been committed" II needs
argument 10 prove that Jury could

sense, or TO any degree, bound before
The trial OF tho accused, by an asfur.
,anee which the President OF the
United States had ven,ured TO give n
foreign power. In the constitution ~

Immediate Jurisdiction the crimes
were committed, substantially the

give n pledge In advance for the result

President would DO, We're It practicable

error when he declares that the United
