Letter

Pelissier to Thouvenel, March 3, 1862

[Translation.]

Mr. Pelissier to Mr. Thouvenel.

Mr. Minister: Mr. De Long, consul general of the United States at Tangier, yesterday addressed to all the consular corps a strange circular on the subject of the disorders which preceded the shipping off of Messrs. Tunstall and Myers, mentioned in my reports of the 27th of last month. The letter of Mr. De Long has produced upon all his colleagues a very ill effect.

I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of this circular, and of the answer which on my part I believed it my duty to make.

Accept, &c,

H. PELISSIER.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs.
