[Translation from the Spanish J [About March, 1859] I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of Your Excellency's letter dated February 25, 1859 transmitting to me a copy of the Treaty celebrated between Your Excellency on the part of this Government, and the Hon. Wm. Gore Ouseley on the part of Great Britain. In the said letter Your Excellency has expressed the hope that I may have the power in order to negotiate, with this Government, a Treaty simi- lar to that which was made with Great Britain. I must say in reply that I do not possess any powers for making any such convention.- Agreeably to the verbal permission of Your Excellency, I have sent to my government both of these documents.
