You will remonstrate in a respectful but earnest
manner against this second violation of the rights of Maine in the
person of her agent, and demand the prompt release of Mr. Greely, with
such additional indemnification as the nature of the outrage calls for.
I am, etc.,
JOHN FORSYTH.

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
_London, November 22, 1837_.
On my return to London, after an absence of a few weeks, I found your
dispatches Nos. 26 and 27, under date of the 8th and 28th of September.
In pursuance of your instructions I addressed an official note to Lord
Palmerston on the subject of the second arrest and imprisonment of Mr.
Greely by the provincial authority of New Brunswick, a copy of which
I have now the honor of transmitting to you.
No answer has yet been received to my first note, but I presume a
decision of the case may be soon expected.

_Mr. Stevenson to Lord Palmerston_.
23 PORTLAND PLACE, _November 8, 1837_.
