Thomas Nelson to Pareja, & c ., & c ., & c, September 28, 1865
The diplomatic corps to Admiral Pareja.
The undersigned, members of the diplomatic corps resident in Santiago, have had the honor to receive the note of the 26th instant which his excellency M. Pareja, commander-in-chief of the squadron of her Catholic Majesty in the Pacific and her minister plenipotentiary, has addressed to them.
The undersigned consider that the said note does not destroy the observations and objections which they permitted themselves to make to his excellency in regard to the proceedings which he has adopted in order to arrange the differences existing between the government of her Catholic Majesty and the republic of Chili; finding themselves obliged, to their regret, to reiterate and maintain the reserves and protests contained in their communications of the 22d and 24th of this month.
The undersigned take this occasion to renew to his excellency the commander-in-chief and minister plenipotentiary of her Catholic Majesty the assurances of their high consideration.
Admiral Pareja, &c., &c., &c.
