I need not tell you that this affair has been the cause of great vexation. If M. de Salvandy should not have yet left Madrid, I shall not despair of your being able to bring it to some adjustment.

I understood the question which was put to me to be whether any agreement had been made between England and France to interpose by force to put an end to that war; and I said that no formal agreement of any kind had been made between the two governments; and certainly none of that kind had taken place, but that a formal application had been made some time before, by the government of Montevideo, for our mediation, and that we had instructed M.
