Earl Russell to Sir J. Crampton
Foreign Office, March 26, 1862

Sir,

The Spanish Chargé d'Affaires at this Court has complained to me of the conduct pursued by Commodore Dunlop in sending away General Miramon from Vera Cruz without concert with his colleagues.

I explained to him how unjustifiable it would have been of the allies to cover with the protection of their flag a person who sought that protection with a view of raising a civil war in Mexico.

(Signed) RUSSELL
