 Mortified at the unsuccessful conclusion of their late conferences; 

 reserves to himself the right of renewing the mediations as circum- 

 stances may occur; meant to provide for a shorter cast which seemed 

 not distant then and which has since actually happened in the interference 

 of Spain. Is still of his former opinion, notwithstanding the steps lately 

 taken by Spain, as to the principle upon which any negotiation with 

 America should be founded. Takes the liberty of enclosing a copy 

 of the terms of negotiation which he lately laid before him with an 

 alteration in the fourth article. Asks him to reconsider the enclosed 

 terms and that he might be permitted to propose a renewal of the 

 negotiation upon them. Proposes going out of town next Monday, 

 unless he could entertain any hope that his longer stay could contribute 

 in the least degree to facilitate the road to peace and reunion with 

 America. L. 4 p. XL VII, 155.
