We cannot but express surprise at Rose Gentlemen putting forth a Paper in which we are deeply concerned, without our Knowledge; and we believe without the Knowledge of the other Public Agents on whose behalf we signed this letter. And we have to acquaint Your Excellency, for the information of Her Majesty's Government, that we entirely disown the said Statement, in the framing of which we were never consulted, and to which we are not parties.

We have &c.
