FIRST WAY.

_From the Representative of Her Britannic Majesty's Government to the

---- Minister for Foreign Affairs._

_January_ 1, 18-0.

I have the honour to inform your Excellency that I am instructed

by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that Her Britannic

Majesty's Government has reason to complain of the conduct of the

Government of which your Excellency is the representative. I have the

honour to say that it will be advisable for your Excellency to urge

upon the Government of which your Excellency is the representative the

necessity of inquiry into the matter as speedily as possible. I have

further the honour to add that it will be gratifying to Her Britannic

Majesty's Government if the Government of which your Excellency is

a representative will give the matter to which I refer the earliest

attention.

_From the Representative, &c., to the ---- Minister, &c._

_January_ 1, 18-1.

I have the honour to call the attention of your Excellency to the long

and unsatisfactory correspondence that has passed during the last year

between your Excellency as representing the Government of which you

are the representative and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

upon the matter of the despatch I had the honour to forward to your

Excellency dated January 1, 18-0. I am directed to have the honour of

requesting your Excellency to urge upon the Government of which your

Excellency is a representative the necessity of a speedy settlement of

the matter in dispute.

_From the Representative, &c., to the ---- Minister, &c._

_January_ 1, 18-2.

I have again the honour to call the attention of your Excellency to,

&c. &c.

(_Rather longer than the foregoing one. Then follow two more

"from the same to the same" in 18-3 and 18-4. This is the

first way._)
