To -nliniit even to a dis creet exercise of such a privilege, would be troub lesome and degrading, and the inevitable abuse of it could not he borne. It must therefore, be resisted n’ the lirrsbliold. audits entrance forhid- den into the sanctuary of domestic consultations. But. whatever may lie the principles of other Gn- veruo ••ms. tbo-e of the I uiied States are fixed — the right will never lie acknowledged, and any attempt in enforce it. will be repelled by the un divided energy ofibe nation.

Before I conclude my observations on this part of the subject, it will tie well to inquire in ^hat light exc: ptions are takro to this pari of the mes- i!L .vov.rt’, by the Preshlent. It ishp.ppv, there-1 sage—whether ns a inenree gene.ally, or to the fore, I repen..

Occasions for inter vention iu the affairs of other countries are hut too numerous at present withoutopeniug another door to encroachments; and it is no answer to tne argument to say that complaints will lie made Jmt for reasonable cause, and that of this the na tion complained of being the judge, no evil can ensue. But this argument concedes the right of this now; future events, which I need not explain, may hereafter render it improper; and it may he nugatory, unless accepted as satisfactory be fore the occurrence of those even's. Let it he examined w ith tbs care which the importance of giving it the true eonstrurtion "quires. The objections to the Message, as ar as I can understand, for they never have been sperifieo' are. First, that it impeaches the goodffaith of His Majesty’s Government. Secondly, thnt it contains a menace of enforc- particulnr measure promised. Iu the first view, every measure that a government having claims on another drdarcs it mi t pui sne if those claims are not allowed, (wl atever may he the tern-s em ployed.) is a menace. It is necessary, aud not ohj< i tiouahle, uul >s couched iu offensive lan guage. It is a fn : r dec ■'•ation of what course the party making it intends to pursue, and exceni in cases whe cm retexts are wanted fora rupture, I had desired to do in England, waiting the re sult of my last communication. This step hav ing been approved by the President. I need not here refer to the reasons which induced me to take it. Having received my passports, I left Paris on the 29th of April. At the time of my departure, the note, of which a copy has been transmitted to you, asking ail explanation of the terms used in Mr. Serrurier’s communication to the Department, remained unanswered, hut I have reason to believe that the answer, when gi ven, will he satisfactory. The principal business with which I was char ged having thus been brought to a close, I pre sume that my services can no longer he useful to my country, and 1 therefore pray that the Presi dent will be pleased to accept my resignation of the trust with which I have been honored. I shall terminate it by tra rstnittieg to the Depart ment some papers relating to matters of minor importance, which I soon expect to receive, ami will add the explanation which mav yet be wan ting to give a full view of the affairs of the mis sion up to the time of my leaving France.
