The Honorable Mr. SEWARD,
Secretary of State of the United States of America:
SIR: I have the honor to bring to your knowledge that only this morn-
ing I have learned from Mr. Couturie, by letter dated at New Orleans,
the 8th of this month, that since the 10th of the month of May, on
which the consulate of the Netherlands in said city was invaded by
the military authorities of the United States, he had completely ceased
from the exercise of his consular functions, and invariably referred
individuals applying to the consul of France, who had acted as consul
ad interim of the Netherlands.
The Count Mejan, to whom I had addressed the request by letter,
dated at Washington, the 10th June, in the first instance, and then
by duplicate dated 26th July, answered me by letter dated at New
Orleans the 8th of August, that he had assumed the mission offered
to him provisionally, and had already on occasion lent his protection
and good offices to Netherlanders.434
