My reply was conveyed by Mr. Clementi in a dead-official letter dated May 9th, which formed an enclosure to the same despatch. On reflection I admit that this was an error of judgment, and the reply should have been sent through the Consul-Ceneral with a full explanation of the circumstances in which the question had been raised.
