WASHINGTON, January 2, 1836.
Hon. JOHN FORSYTH,
Secretary of State of the United States.
SIR: I have the honor to announce to you that, in consequence of the recall of Mr. Barton, the King's Government has given me orders to lay down the character of chargé d'affaires of His Majesty near the Government of the United States. I shall therefore immediately begin the preparations for my return to France; but in the meantime I think proper to claim the protection of the Federal Government during the period which I may consider it necessary to remain in the United States.
I have the honor to be, with the most distinguished consideration, sir, your most humble and obedient servant,
A. PAGEOT.
