Position of law officers of Crown on Trent
question; serious aspect of affairs. Earl
Russell's reply in regard to revocation of
Mr. Bunch's exequatur; thinks reasons
insufficient. If necessary, communica-
tion will continue to be made with
authorities of insurgents, but will not
imply acknowledgment of their inde-
pendence. Conduct of Mr. Adams has
been such as to command esteem and
respect.

Mr. Adams replies, sustaining action of
United States government in reference
to Mr. Bunch. Acknowledgment of
friendly conduct of British government
towards himself.

Approving action of Mr. Adams in reference
to Bunch case.
Will hear British government in reference
to correspondence of its subjects in south,
and do whatever is possible consistent
with safety and welfare of United States.
Aspect of affairs in England still serious,
but signs of a more friendly feeling and
a better understanding of the United
States. Efforts of private citizens abroad
towards counteracting misrepresenta-
tions of insurgent emissaries.
