CORRESPONDENCE OF H. J. MANDEVILLE, ESQ.,
British Minister to the Argentine Confederation,
WITH
SENHOR VIDAL,
Secretary of State of the Republic of Uruguay.
Buenos Ayres, May 26th, 1842.
My dear M. de Vidal,—I have received your official letter of the 20th May, with the enclosure which you have had the goodness and frankness to communicate to me,—and also the two private letters of the same date, which you have done me the honour to write to me.
I beg you to believe that I share with you all the disagreeableness of the suspense which the silence of the British Government to my despatches of the 4th December last causes to us both. To me it is only a matter of a little personal inconvenience that I ought not, nor do I, regard; to you it is very different—and all that I can say to you on the subject is, that the moment that I hear from England respecting it, I will not lose a moment in communicating it to you—of this be assured, as of the sincere esteem and consideration with which I remain,
