Viscount de Caravellas to Mr. Partridge.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rio de Janeiro, October 23, 1873.

I had the honor to receive the note which was sent me on the 6th instant by Hon. James R. Partridge, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, and Baron A. Cavalchini, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of His Majesty the King of Italy, transmitting one of the original copies, written in French, of the sentence lately passed by them, as arbitrators, upon the claim of Earl Dundonald; also advising me that they had on the same day forwarded the other original, written in English, to Mr. Buckley Mathew, Her Britannic Majesty’s minister at this court.

His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, my august sovereign, to whom I made known this communication, orders me, in his name and the name of his government, to cordially thank Mr. Partridge for the promptness and good will with which he performed the service of arbitrator in this question, and to assure him that the terms of the sentence will be strictly carried out.

Thus obeying so much of the imperial order as refers to Mr. Partridge, I will only add, that I have also addressed a note, couched in similar terms, to Baron Cavalchini.

VISCOUNT DE CARAVELLAS.
