Mr. Hay to Mr. Cambon .

No. 441.]

Excellency: Referring again to Mr. de Margerie’s note of the 22d ultimo, I have now the honor to inform you that the governor of Oregon wrote on the 13th instant that he had again urged upon the local authorities at Portland that they exercise diligence in observing the provisions of the Franco-American consular convention of February 23, 1853, in order that the French consular officers might have no further cause for complaint.

Accept, etc.,

John Hay.
