Misunderstood. It is by some way Jackes, or I = Parton Sir John
Burning
in supposing that any
assurance was given that full British
jurisdiction would at
any
time be
exercised in this, a British harbour.

3. This Government has
not endorsed the Conduct of M.
Mitchell, but has given that officer

as to his
demeanour
4. His Excellency is
fully Convinced that no
good end
will be answered by
calling for a reiteration of testimony either against
or in favor of M. Mitchell's Conduct, it does not affect the main point at
issue and His
Excellency trusts
you will be satisfied with the assurance
that he has directed due Courtesy
