JIAYAUD'S 11KPOHT. Official CottittiithltiHtlon tn the I'renltlcnt nil the Sili'kvllln Milltcr. WASHINGTON, Oct.

Cabinet meeting lasted nliout two hours, and won attended by Cecretarlos Hayard and Endl- cottnnd Atturney-Ui'iiernl (larlnud. It was devoted muinly to a consideration of tlio cilsti nf tho British minister, and the result is shown. In tho furnished to tho press by tho Hecrutnry of State. After Hecretary Bnyord hud prepared this state- nient ho walked over to tho AVhito Housa and submitted it to tho I'rcsidcnt for bis approval. Tlio I'revldont perused It carefully and suggested a few verbal changes In tho introduction, and when these hid been mado- tlio members of the press were furnished copies of it.

The following is tho full text of Hecrctary Bayard's stnteinont: "To tho President: The imde'rsigiiod has tho honor to submit for your consideration the following statement, with a view to ro- ceivo your direction thereon. "On tho 4th of b'eptombor last letter purporting to have been written by one Churles F. Murchison, dated at Pomoiiia, was sent from that place thoUritish minister at this capital, In which the writer solicited an expression of his views In regard to certain unsuttlort diplomatic questions between tho United States Grout Britain, stating at tho sanm time that such an expression was sought for by him for the purpose of determining his voto at approaching Presidential election. Ho stated that he was a naturalized citizen of tho United States of Kngllsh birth, but that still considered" Knglnud the mother country, and this fact led him to seek udvieo from tho British representative in this country. Ho further state 1 that tho information ho Bought was not for himself alone, but to him to give certain assurance to many other persons In the KUIIIO situation as himself, for the purpose of influencing nnd determining their political action as citizens of fho United States of English birth, but who still regarded their original obligations as paramount.

Tlio lotter also contains gross lultoctions tho conduct of this government in respect to questions now in controversy uiid unsettled between the United States and Groat Britain, und both directly und indirectly imputed insincerity In such conduct. Mr. "To this letter tlio British minister at once replied from Beverly, under, duto of tho IHth of f-eptcinber last. In this reply ho stated tluit any which openly the mother country ut the present moment 'would lose popularity und that tho party in power is fully awaro of that that iu respect to tlio 'questions with Canada been unfortunately reopened tiuco tho rejection of tliu treaty by tho Republican majority in tho Senate, und by tho President's message to which you ulludo. All allowances must therefore bo mado for the political situation us rogards tho 1'resi- duntial "The miiiister thus gave his assent und Banctlon to tho aspersions and imputations abovo referred to.

"Thus under his correspondent's assurance of secrecy, iu which the minister concurred by marking his answer ho undertook to advise a citizen of the United States how to exerciso franchise of sutrrugu iu an election close ut hand for tho Presidency nnd Yico-PiTsidcncy of tho United and through him, as the letter suggested, to influence the votes of many others. "Upon this (orrespondenee being mado public tlio minister received the representatives of tho public preis, and in frequent Interviews with (hum intended for publication lidded to tlui impugnments which ho hud already made of the good fuitli of this government in its public action und.inter- national dealings, Alth'iugh ampin timo and opportunity have been alfordeiMiini for the withdrawal, modification, or correction of his statements, to smuu of which his attention was culled personally by tho undersigned, yet no such disavowal or modification bus been mudu by him through tho channels in which hU statement-! first found publicity. Cnniiot lla Permitted. "Tlie question is thus presented whether it is compatible with tlio dignity, security, and independent sovereignty of tho United StaU'u to permit tho representative of a foreign government in this country not only to receive and answer without disapproval, and confirm by his repetition, aspersions upon its political action, but also to interfere in its domestic ajfairn by advising ptr- Bons formerly hU couiitrymun us to their political course us citizens of tlio United "As between this country und (Jreut Britain there cuu bo no controversy as to the complete teverauro of thu ties of original allegiance by naturalization. Disputes on this point were finally put ut rest by the treaty of naturalization concluded by tho two countries on the )8th of March, 1870.

Therefore it will not be contended, nor was kuch contention ever admitted by us, tlnS citizens of the United Sttitxjs of British origin are subject to any claim of the country of their original allegiance. "The undersigned also has the honor to call attention to the provisions of section of the revised statutes of the United Btates by which severe penalties are visited upon the citizen of the United who, without the authority or permuaiou of this goveruuiout, 'commences or curriee on any verbal or written correspondence or inter- with uny pn gnj nr flwirwf. with Rl Intent to of weit nr iti In r-MnMAn tn Bn pntc or fontmvcirn'w! with thn Btntwi, op irith any intiwit tn of ftf Unitw! nra tunde to errry Htiwn of tho Unltixl not duly authorlred, who fidviwa, or In any mich corrmpondenco' with similar nnlawf nl Intent RACkvlllfi'a IllmttUial "Thn undersigned respectfully ntlrivs that th(! attention of the Attom-sy-Oencral of tho UnitH States be directed to then enactments in order that an Investigation may bo made, with a view to ascertaining whether they have not been violated In tho present cam by the correspondent of tho British minister. "By your direction the attention of tho British government has In a spirit of comity been called to. tho conduct of its minister, an abovo described, but without result It therefore becomes netetsnry for this government to consider whether, us the guardian of its own Klf-rcspart ami of tho Integrity of its institutions, it will permit further Intercourse to bo hold through tho present British minister at this capital.

It is to lie observed that precedents are not wanting ai to the question under consideration. It Is a settled rule, essential to tho maintenance of international intereouire, that a diplomatic representative must bo'pcrnona grata to the government to which ho Is accredited. If by his conduct ho renders himself persona non-grata an announcement of the fact may bo made to government In tho present cos? all tho' of comity have been" fulfilled, tho facts having been duly communicated to her majesty's government, with nil expression of the opinion of this government in regard thereto. Respectfully submitted, T. F.

No such ecclesiastical procedure has been recorded since Napoleon's divorce fi'om JoBOphlno. It Is hardly four months Rlneo Queon Kiitalio wrote thus to tho Metropolitan, who Is absolute head ot tho Servian Church: "Tho King writes to Haying that ho has taken steps to secure a divorce.
