_The Duke de Broglie to Mr. Barton_.
[Translation.]
PARIS, _November 8, 1835_.
Mr. BARTON,
_Charge d'Affaires of the United States of America_.
SIR: Having taken His Majesty's orders with regard to your communication
of the 6th instant, I have the honor to send you herewith the passports
which you requested of me. As to the reasons which you have been charged
to advance in explanation of your departure, I have nothing to say (_Je
n'ai point á m'y arrêter_). The Government of the United States, sir,
knows that upon itself depends henceforward the execution of the treaty
of July 4, 1831.
Accept, sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
