Washington, Feb. IS, 1854. j
1 have bad the koncr to receive your contidsntUl
note, bearing date the 3d inst , embracing the fol
lowing instructions, to wit: ?
Ton will prepare, from the flies of your depart
ment, a report of tbe oflicUl tranMtt sti'tnn of our di
plomatic representatives accredited to the several
governments of Europe, not cooarnunlcated in my
annual message, including particularly the acta
of the leiatians respectively at the otpivils of
Great Britain, France, Spain, toe Netherlands the
German and Italian States, with the view Hut the
same may be laid before the Senate, in executive ses
sion, agreeably to a suggestion of Mr. Mason, the
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relation* in
that body. The object of this report is to inform the
Senate, in its executive capacity, and fraukly aud
freely, in a confidential manner, of the ex*ct condi
tion of ourrelationa with tne Western Power* of Eu
rope, the German and the I-alian States, iu refer
ence to the possible necessity wolch may arise,
from the threatening aspects of the so-called "Eastern
question," of some general polioy of active diplomatlo
intervention on our part, to the end of the preserva
tion of our neutrality with ail parties, and of a paci
fication of the troubles of the Continent. And as the
circular letters of instructions froo. ..he State Depart
ment of June last, touching the costume of oar Minis
ters, attaches, and consuls abroad, appear to have
interrupted in several instances our amicable rela
tions with the Courts of Europe, and in other instan
ces have resulted in unpleasant controversies aud
hostile meetings, which it is desiiable to avoid for
the future, you are also requested to cominunic*te,
for the information of the Sot ate, all the facts, docu
ments, correspondence and papers, of any kiad, in
your department, relating to this subject of costume,
and to tbe consequences which have followed toe
several attempts made, in pursuance of the circulars
of June last, to introduce among tbe European C rnrts
the republican eostumc or Dr. Frankliu. or of the
simple American citizen of the present d iy.
I mi further admonished by your Excellency
thai
It has also been represented to me by Mr. Mason,
Chairman on Foreign Relations of the Senate,
after several consultations with the majority
of Raid committee, tbat they are deeply
Impressed with the troubles which have grown
ont of those circular letters of instructions of
Jane last; and tbat the bald committee and the Sen
ate aie ready to oooperate with t ne Executive in
any changes whi:h may be deemed csseu .ial in said
instructions, or among <>ur diplomatic corps impli
cated in the recei.t difficulties upon tbe subject of
-costume; or that tbe Senate is prepared to insist
upon the respect thus far denied among the Eu
ropean Power# to the c a tune prescribed ia your
circulars of June last, If such policy shall be deemed
by the Executive the moil expedient"
In reply, I have the honor, first, to submit the
various letters, official and unofficial documents
and papers, including extracts, (tranalated,) from
various European newspaper*, of an official or semi"
official character, agreeably t? your instructions.
For the convenience of the Senate they will be found
arranged in several parcels, and they cover all the
precise or general in'ormation received at this depart,
meat, not given in your annual message, respecting
our diplomatic transactions with ihe European Po w
on, and the difficulties resulting from my circular
letters of June list on the subject of costume, Ac.

No advices have been received at this department
on the subject of oostnme from our representative
at St Petersburg ; nor is it probable tbat at this
court any question has been raised of tbe propriety
of my instructiors of June last, the Czar being
engrossed in the graver responsibilities of the exist
, ing war. I enclose you a private letter, marked G,
received from St Petersburg, purporting to give the
opinion of the Czar upon the letter of this depart
ment vindicating tbe claims of Martin Kozsta to the
protection of the United States. From this informa
tion it appears that the Czar has expressed his "pro
foond oontempt of the present san * cvloite adminis
tration at Washington," and " especially of Marcy,
tbe giwiuit tans culoife of them all.'' The Emperor
of Rusaia is probably Indebted for this information to
offioial sources Instructions have been despatched
to Mr. Seymour on the subject
In a general view or our active relations with ths
several governments of Europe since the 4th March,
1863, no negotiations of any impoitance have
transpired. My instructions under tbe order* of tin
President, were addressed to two great objects ?
First, to the introduction of a democratic republican
court coetame among the royal rt unions of the
courts of Europe; and, secondly, to tbe preservation
of tbe policy of " masterly inactivity" pending to
existing crisis In European affairs. A wife navigator,
sailing along an unknown coast, does not care to
make the land in the fog. Mr. Bucbtnan has in
stnetions to take up tb? fishery question, or any of
tbe several pending ma'ters of negotiations, up in
Peruvian guano, tbe affairs of Central America,
Cnba, Hsjti, the Darien chip canal, and the broad po
licy of free trade, at his coavetience, c.r as may best
( wit the convenience of the British cabinet. We have
thus far no advices from bim tbat he has broken
ground upon any of these questions; but we arc i i cx

The general instructions to Mr. Mason, our Minis
ter at the Court of St. Cload, comprehend the Iti
poitantdnties of vigilantly observing the manoeuvres
of Napoleon III. and the Empre-s, In reference to
Spain and the Island ?>( Cuba. Tbe French Em
peror is suspected of a secret design of avertarn ng
' the present government at Madiid, with the view of
subserving the interests of the family of the Empreta
and his own dynasty. There is also reason to believe
tbat Priaoe Albert and the Queen of clugland, as well
aa Lord Palmerston, are parties to the? designs, a
common object of this secret coa'ition being to cut
off the United States forever from the acquisition of
tha Island of Cuba. It is believed that tbe attractive
manners and social and convivial qualities of Hr.
Mason will be very nseful in enabling him to discover
tbe extant of this alleged conspiracy against the
crown of Queen Isabella and tha policy of ?? manifest
jmtinj.'' Tbe sphere of his offioial duties has, there,
fan, been limited to this business for the present.

Our new Minister to Portugal, Mr. O'Sulllvaa, Is alao
? inttlructed to co-operate in their endeavors t? over

The diplomatic policy defined in the instraotiong
to 0ur other European ambassadors embraces nothing
materially conflicting with the " neutrality," or
what has been facetionaly called the " do nothing"
policy of the late administration. In carrying out
this policy, it is believed that no better selections
oould have been made than Mr. Spence for Constan
tinople, Got. Vroom for Berlin, Mr. Belmont for the
Hague, Mr. Bedinger for Copenhagen, Mr. Jackson
i for Vienia, and Mr. Owen for Naples.
There is some danger to be apprehended from the
| impukive character of the young gentleman, 'Daniel,
at Turin, and his radical democratic proclivities. A
letter oi his has recently been published in the Rich
mond Examiner, denouncing the Sardinian court as
little better than a collection of laszaroni, charging
that even the nobility " stink of onions and garlic,"
ami that the whole county ?'* surcharged with the
effluvia of those vulgar vegetables. I would suggest*
as a means for forestalling the unpleasant conse
quences which may otherwise result from this letter,
that Mr. Mason, or his colleague, Mr. Hunter, of the
Senate, address a familiar note to this " ardent Vir
giniau," suggesting a proper apology to the court of
Turin and the nobility of Sardinia, or such an ex
planation of his violent animadversiois upon onions
and garlic as may preserve the entente cordial* with
King Emanuel.
The information desired respecting the "nnpleisant
controversies" which have resulted at several of the
European courts from the circular* of this depart
ment of June lust, prescribing the costume of our di
plomatic officials and consuls abroad, I shall proceed
now to recapitulate from the accompanying papers
with that frankness which the occasion demands.
And, as I understand that this communication is to
be strictly limited to the confidence of the members
of the Senate in their executive capacity, I shall take
the liberty of dealing with the subject ih hand with
the familiarity of social conversation, rather than with
the distrustful reserve of diplomatic correspondence.
I ? is doe to the Senate, as a branch of the treaty
making power, and in consideration of the good rela- I
tions which have been so happily restored between
the Senate and the administration since the con
firmation of certain appointments involving the unity
of the Cabinet and the harmony of the democratic
party.
The material facts comprised in the mass of cor
respondence, documents, and newspaper extracts,
from the legation at Madrid, are substantially these:?
Actuated by a patriotic desire faithfully ta conform
to the circulars of June last, touching his official oos
tume, Mr. Soule, on arriving at Paris, en route for
Spain, proceeded at once to ascertain the exact
costume worn at the Court of Louis XVI. by Dr.
Franklin. The French Minister of Foreign affairs
kindly admit 'ed him to the examination of the go
vernment diplomatic archives; and several of the
leading taiUeurs of Paris, whjse ancestors made the
clothes of Dr. Franklin while our minister there,
were happily discovered and consulted. Mr. Soule
was thus enabled to arrive at " a strict construction"
of the orders of this department. The result wis a
shad- bellied coat of fine black velvet, tastefully
braided, lace frills at the wrist, ruffles of fine lace,
relieved by a jellow embroidered waistcoat, with
lappels over the pockets aud exieading at the sidoi
so as to hang gracefully over the hips; buff colored
puitaloons, fifing tightly upon a well turned leg,
Japanned sboes with silver buckles, yellow gloves,
a three cornered beaver chapman, and a straight rapier
in a golden scabbard, completed this simple but ele
gsnt Franklin costume. The wnole (edition,
equipped with the ruling article of black velvet, set
out accordingly, and in due set son arrived at
Madrid.
' The Senate are familiar with the history of the
ball of the Marquis de Turgot, and the several duels
resulting from an unfrrtonate remark of the Duke
d'AIba upon the Franklin costume of onr legation.
But it will be oeen from the accompanying papers
that the ofiknee levelled at our Minister failed of its
object, which was to drive Mr. Soule from Spain. It
was the insidious devclopement of a conspiracy be
tween the agents of the Court of France and the
Spanish enemies of Queen Isabella to bring about a
? revolution, and to establish a new government noder
the protection of Louis Napoleon, comprehending
also his protection of the Island of Cubi. The dis
covery and timely defeat of this conspiracy are due to
mj circulars of June last, which are thus proved to
have been a masterly stroke of American diplomacy.
If necessary for further disclosures, Mr. Soule is
instructed to appear at the next court bill in a sky
blue linsey woolsey coat, leather breeches, and blue
yarn home made stockings? the dress in which Dr.
Franklin made his entree into Paris. What
has been achieved justifies the continuance
of the experiment. The accompanying documents
ehow that the Parisian Franklin blaok velvet
costume of our delegation had a most faverable effect
upon the Spanish Queen- that the envy and jealousy
of Spanish dukes, French m&rquites, and British
lords were instantly excited into an active conspiracy
against our Minister. They evidently feared that Her
Catholic Majesty, In her partiality for our legation
our administration, and our country, would make a
present of the island of Cuba to Mr. Soulfi upon his.
own terns, and without stopping to chaffer with her
cabinet, or the agents of Engjaad and France, or
anj body else. .She has her caprices of icdepen*
dence; and doubtless the Queen Mother, Corlstina,
has informed her of the heavy surplus In our treasury,
and of the necessity of securing a portion of it
before it is all invested in the wild lands and wild
Indiais of Mexico.
We look with confidence to the acquisition of Cub ?
by Mr. Soule. In the common parlanee, '* he has
cleared the track'' of all opposition, and has the free
coune before bim. It is to be regretted that General
Gadrden's trea'y could not have been deferred a few
months longer. The draft of twenty millions which
it will make upon the treasury may, perhaps, sh ?ke
to some extent the confidence of Queen Clirhtini in
our ability to meet the heavy instalments which will
'?quired for the Island ol Cuba. Engrossed in the
African slave trade for jesrs past, she may be igno
rant of the resources of our gold micei in California.
In this view, Mr. Sou'c has been instructed to exhibit
to the Queen Mother and also to the daughter, Queen
I> bella, the authentic returns of the annnil yield of
tlie California mines, es affording the most satisfac
tory guaranty of onr abilities to pay without the
surplus of a dollar In the treasury.
Following the exwnple of Mr. Soule. the first offi
cial duty entered upon by Mr. Belmont, on his arrival
in Europe, was the solution of the circulars o! this
department upon cos '.untie. Ills explorations an]
(marches were worthy a lineal descendant of the
tribe of Levi. He first explored all the musty ar
chives of the oldest libraries of the Netherlands and
(?erroan States npon diplomatic costume, gitng
ba-k to the days of King David of Israel, when bis
Ministers to a neighboring Power were sh%ved and
cropped, and sent back In disgrace; and thence
downward through the splendid epoch of Solomon
and tha Queen of Sheba, to the Assyrians, the
Greeks, the Roroats, the Carthagenians. the Goths,
the Visi Goths, and the Vandals? thence through the
Dark Ages, and the magnificent epoch of the Moore
in Spain, down to the royal splendors of Loots XIV.
?but thus far all his researches were In rain for the
tree diplomatic costume ot Dr. Franklin. He Mit
undertook a historical Investigation Into th? reoectU
of the twelve tribes of Isiael, beginning with the
coat of mm./ colon of which Joseph wa? despoiled
by his brethren previoua to his being sol J by then
into Egypt Finding nothing among the records or
diplomatic traditions of the twelve tribes ante> "lor to
the present eentury approximating the oostao.^ of
Franklin, Mr. Belmont next made a personal detour
among the Jewish clothtng stores of the Hani o
Towns, extending bis researches some dMtinoe up
the Rhine. Thence he diverged t? Frankfort on-the
Main, and penetrated into the arcana of the Jews'
quarter of that city , sojourning for a week at the h >use
in which the mother of the Rothschilds, (in a narrow
street, flanked on all skies by old clo* establishments,)
was born, and lived and died.
Finally, he returned to the Hague, and, adopting
the costume of Mr. Souls, with certain Dutoh modi
Stations, be made his appearance at Court. The
Dutch rose in rebellion at tbis innovation upon the
etiquette of the place. Much chaffering and con
siderable correspondence ensued in low Dutch and
broken English; but at lengtt a oo on promise was
effected. Mr. Belmont agreed to admit a small mar
gin of gold lace upon his garments, samples of which
have been received at this department, and are open
to the inspection of the Senate. He has been au
thor zed to wear the lace agreed npon, as the differ
ence in quality between it and the gorgeous trap
pings of royal courtiers, is sufficiently gnat to mark
the distinction between our representative and the
eoi rkrout Dutch footmen of the Hague.
I would here suggest, as a satisfactory compromise
with all the courts of Europe, that we agree to con
form to their requisitions upon dress, with the single
exception of a square patch upon the breeches,
marked in silver thread " fifty ciNt?T' as the dis
tinguishing symbol of the simplicity and economy of
our democratic instiUtio s.
Mr. Vroom, In his obedience to my instructions
upon costumes, has experienced much annoyance at
the court of Berlin. The high Dutch regime of that
royal establishment is ludicrously punctilious apon
dress. The tailor makes toe man for the Prussian
court. This was a weakness ot Frederick the Great,
who, upon matters of court dress and etiquette, was
disgustingly small. It was a weakness, also, of
Frederick the Little, and is amusingly men
tioned as such among the memoirs of Nap>
Icon. Among such people, with such repul
sive traditions and instincts, Mr. Vroom was
positively refused admittance to court in the
neat and becomiug garments in which a United
States Senator attends our President's levees. He
pleaded his instructions? he quoted my circulars ?
he adverted to the ex&mpk of Dr. Franklin himself?
and, lastly, when requested to consult a tiilo*, he re
ferred to our own distinguished General Taylor, late
President, as a good enough tailor for him.
As a last resxt, he was advised to arbitrate the
difficulty with the Ambassador from Russia. This
he declined to do until he had oonsulted his govern
ment. In rep'y, therefore, to his application, he has
been instructed to propose the Ambassador of Turkey
as arbitrator, or the Pope's Nuncio, if convenient of
access; but in no case to consent to a margin of gold
lace greater than three inches in width. Even this
would not be conceded were it not important to
watch the morementa of Prussia and every symptom
of her policy upon the Eastern question. To do this,
Mr. Dudley Mann informs me, it is absolutely Indis
pensable to g'4n admission to Court, and its fashion
able reunions, where the real business of diplomacy
and the State secrets and intrigues of the diflerent |
monarchies are most readily obtained in agreeable
conversations and gallantries with the wives and
daughters of kings, princes, prime ministers and am
bassadors. This I can readily believe, for the most
M^crtant State secrets of our own government have
tot unfrequent!y leaked oat through similar channels.
Hence my policy, as Secretary of State, has been tD
live in a boarding house, thus avoiding b. th the ex
penee and the dangers of those official oarties which
involve tfce presence of inquisitive ladies, who flsh
ont everything from pliant gallantry, and tell all
they know, as " a great secret," to the first designing
knave with a moustache, or whisker, or imperial,
they fall in with over their champagne, be he Rus
sian spy or newspaper correspondent.
Hon. John Y. Mason has experienced much diffi
culty npon the question of conturne at Paris. In the first
place, he was announced in the Moti'teur as the new
Minister from the United States, " Johnny" Mason,
by a ludicrous mistake of the printer. Next, he had
a disagreement with the late acting Charge, Mr.
Sandford, who, much to the diagust of the Empress,
had presided in appearing at the Tuileriee iu a plain
black coat and pantalojns, and white waistcoat and
cravat Ridiculed by the ladies, and sneered at by
the snobs of royalty, the courage of Mr. Sandford In
adhering to the simplest construction of my circa
lari is much to be commended. Upon the arrival of
Mr. Mason, the French Minister of Foreign AfTairi,
M. Drouyn De L'Huys, waited upon him, and earn
estly represented to him the necessity of conforming
to seme extent to the usages of the Court in his cos
tume, notwithstanding the circulars from thisde
partment of June last. Mr. Mason remained un
moved until, on the following evening, he was in
vited to a whist party in the salons of the Empress
at the Elysee. ? Here, in the roogh but expressive
language of Col. Benton, " With his belly full of
oysters and his hands full of cards," he capitulated
at discretion to the demands of the Empress His
next step was U bring over Mr. Sandford to
the policy agreed upon ; but that gentleman
was Inflexible, and rather than resign hia
black coat or white watatcoat he resigned
his commission. The delicate responsibility,
therefore, devolves upon this department o
determining between the conduct of Mr. Mason and
of Mr. Sandford. In my opinion the latter has vin
dicated our democrat! 3 principles ani usages In the
most satisfactory manner, while the former has
shown a spirit of flunkeyism incompatible with the
true dignity and independence of the American
character .
(Should the Senate committee, therefore, agree
with me in recommending Mr. Mason's recall , there
Will be no difficulty In getting a successor. My
frier.d Gen. Dlx. who subm'fed to be overslaughed
without grumbling, arter waiting through a 1 the last
hot snmmer, cooped up in the Sub-Treasury ia Wall
street, in expectation of the French mission , is stilj
wil'.lDg to accept It. Mr. Cobb of Georgia, cheat-d
ut or the Senate, and CjI. Clemens of Alabama, and
Gen. Footeof Mississippi, served in the same way,
would either of them be reconciled by the French
mist-ion. The late noble letter of Col. Clemens to
our confidential friend, John Van Buren, on the Ne
braska question, should not be overlooked. Mr. John
Van Buren himself has also claims of a very delicate
and peculiar kind to this mission upon the first
vaca&cy. ?
But of all the candidates for this Important
post of Ambassador to France, whatever may
be the claims of Bin mot, of the N?w Yonc
Hekild, it Is manifestly of the highest neces
sity to get him ont of tne way, at any cost,
npon the first opportunity. He is believed to
be In possession of that "Scarlet letter," concerning
which be keeps up such an everlasting din la the
columns of his paper. Mr. John Cochrane privately
' Informs me that he shouldn't wonder If Bennett had
a copy of it, at all event*. If this be so, its even
tual publication is inevitable, unless Bennett's moath
is stopped with this French mission. I would, there
fore, snggMt the expediency of not only recalling
Mr. Uses a, bat of sabetitotlni Bennett in hie place
without delay. To the pebUoWa wiU appear a
act of astonishing magnanimity, bat it will chtng*
tbe thunder of the Ribald into pleasant music.
Thus the only material obstruction ta the fulfilment
of our general policy concerning tbe spoils will be
removed, and we shall have a clear field before us.
Mr. Bnohaoan and his attaches at London hare
been excluded from Cout, in their obedience to my
instructions upon coats, waistcoats and breeches.
Taking the standard of our citizens' dress as their
guide, however, they stoutly hold out. I had sup
^oeed that Queen Victoria was a sensible w<>nr.n;
b t4 Russian influence over Prince Alberi, through the
beggarly C-oburgs of the Principalities, has doubtless
poLwned the mind of Victoria against our adminis
tration. Tbe letters of George N. Sanders, (our re
jected London Consul,) to tbe Nkw York Hskald,
betrsvwg his sympathies with Kuemrth and the
revolutionary societies of London, have, I fear, ex
erted a baleful uiluence against Mr. Ba;himan.
Notwithstanding, however, the unlimited abuse
which the said Sanders directed against me during
the last Presidential campaign, I regret that in the
ooufitk'ulitil cMeultatious whicn were had between
the Cabinet and the Foreign Consmittee of the Jen
ate up<>n his appointment, I aiacerelj regret, tbe reso
lution agreed upon that be should be rejected. Ban
ders will return >nly to annoy the Cabinet at every
point, whereas with a little advice he might have
?been made exceedingly nse'ul In watohlng the move
ments of tbe Kpies of Russia in Loi>d< a
The ease of Mr Unchanan it uhn a bird one. He
is an "old bachdor," but his partiality for the ho
ciety of distiuRiib-hed ladies has always been with
him an amiable weakness, the innocent indulgence
of which has been hi9 highest ambition. Ills modest
aspirations in this respect it is hard to deny, and I
would therefore recommend that he be authorized to
conform to the requisitions of the Court of
Viotoiia, so far as may be necessary to gain
bis admission to the royal reunions of the noble
dames and belles of England. At these reunions he
may also gain mnsti information in the question of
the British Africanization of Cuba; and may do muoh,
also, to correct the misapprehensions of the Duchess
of Sutherland on the slavery question, and couoern
ing tbe true objejt of Douglus in his Presidential
humbug to repeal the Missouri compromise.
' I am happy to say that, from assnr luces reoMved
from the Pope's Nnncio, Moneignor Bedini, during
his late visit to Washington, that our Minister to
Rone, Mr. Lewis Cass, Jud., will, hencetorth, bo
more popular at the Court of tbe Vatican than ever
heretofore. This promise is dne to tbe late judicious
speech of Gen. Cass in the Senate on the Bedini dis
turbar ces iu Ciasinnati and elsewhere. I am assur
ed that there shall be no trouble concerning the cos
tume of Mr. Cass at Rome. He may appear, on all
occasions, either in a plain dress or frosk coat, a
workman's blouse or a linen jacket, as may suit his
taste; and with just as many patches upon the seat
ot bis breeches and the knees as may be considered
necetsary to represent the economical habits of the
sovereign people of thjs almighty republic.
From Mr. Owen, at Naples, we have some extraor
dinary information. His doctrines of infidelity and
sosialism, which he flnt prea shed over this country, in
company with Fanny Wright, hare formed the staple
of much of the gossip of tbe Neapolitan court. A
philosophical Malthuaian book of his, published
some years since, on " Moral Physiology," ha* aV>
tound its way Into the diplomatic circlej of Naples;
and the recommendations therein for suppressing
the progress of population, being entirely opposed
to the traditions, the inclinations and the religion of
the people of the Two Stelies, it is feared that he
may beooraesi unpopular in that quarter as to in
duoe me to suggest tbe expediency of his timely re
call. In addition to these unpopular antecedents of
Mr. Owen, it is unfurtunate that tbe plainest looking
married man of our whole diplomatic corps should
have been sent to that c?urt where the very hand
somest bachelor would have made the best impres
sion.
The information from Mr. Bpenoe, assigned to
Constantinople, Is of a highly objectionable charac
ter. He has ere this arrived oat in the steamer
Saranac. In the face of my instructions, he coolly
informs me that the drew which he intends to wear
on bis presentation to tbe Sultan will be w1tho.it
question the meet golden dress which has ever been
worn by any of our ministers abroad. It whs drat
prepared in tbe United States, and subsequently fit
ted up with extra embellishments at Naples. On the
other hand, the Saltan willreoeive him prrtiablyas he
received Mr. Marsh ? dressed in a plain brown frock
coat, single-breasted, with bright buttons; blue pants,
a fez cap, with a cresent of diamonds on the front
and also a cresent of diamonds on hi* left breast;
but nothing of tinsel about him. I regret that Mr.
Spence, in his vanity concerning the flummery of
gold lace and epaulettes, should have thought fit to
violate his instruct! jns. I would suggest that his
rervices may be dispensed with, and without the
felightest inconvenience to the public service
Such is the substance of the general and parti ralar
information emb died in the accompanying papers.
I had hoped that our foreign policy, limited for the
present to the diplomatic costume of Dr. Franklin,
would prove to be highly successful. It has failed?
signally failed. It has been wtnlly disregarded by
my subordinates in soma cases ; utterly repudiated
and ridiculed out of countenance at the royal ga
therings at several European courts; basely sur
rendered in the case of Mr. Mason, over asocial sup
per of cards and oysters, in the salons of the French
Empresa; and subjected to different constructions,
resulting in totally dissimilar fashions, by Mr. Soule,
Mr.Vroom and Mr. Belmont. As a compromise, there
fore, I repeat my recoomnendation, that our various
Ministers and Consuls be allowed reasonably to con
form to tbe coatome required by the several ourts to
?hi?h they are assigned, excepting only the dis
tingaishing symbol of American democracy, of a
square patch in some conspicuous place upon the
breeches, marked "fifty cents," which shall in all
cases be retained. In thus cutting down our Euro
peon policy to a patch upon the breeches, surely we
cannot fail of success.
In the representations and recommendations whhh
I have thus the honor to submit for the information
of the Committee of Foreign Relations of the Senate,
I have avoided any specific suggestions of any violent
innovat.oni upon the safe policy of "masterly inac
tivity " Mr. Dudley Mann informs me that there
will l e hell to play among the rotten monarchies of
Kurc'pe lefoie long? that K?ssuth and M ?sszini hav.
laid tne net work of a system of i evolutions which
will ?weep the continent, and to use his own expres
sive Innctiage. we "hid tiettcr wait the upshot or the
row. Meanwhile, that patm upon the hree lies of
our diplomats will serve to illustrate our republican
policy smonjr the existing European gover tiienta.
ihat patch hah been the secret of uiy sue in pur
mit ot the spoils. Many year*. ago when a mymoer
of the I anal Board of N>w Yor*,in travelling over
the corduroy road* of that State, my own cor
duroys were torn and wern to the extremi
ty of patching. These essential repairs were
charged to the State, especially that me
m?rabie square natch costing "fifty cents."
Tba' pau.n was the key to all my subsequent
promotions to the spoils. What policy , there
fore, pending this European crisis ? what po'.i.iy, so
simple and so Inoffensive, can better subserve our in
terests among tbe European nations than this demo
cratic symbol of that patch? I have nothing further,
therefore, to recommend, to the President and the
Senate committee, in addition to the ministerial
changes suggested, than " masterly inactivity/' the
repeal of tbe Ben Franklin costume, and the univer
sal enforcement among oar diplomatic corps and eon
snls of that patch npon the breeches, marked " fifty
cents." All of which la respectfully submitted.
Wm. L. Maaor.
