Washington, August "a, l54l.


SIR have the honor TO inform your excellency
that letter was yesterday communicated TO this
department by her Britannia Majestys minister,
Mr.. Fox-extacts from which are herewith in
closed. The letter was written by gentleman
whose character for respectabiity and information
is known to Mr.. Fox, and was addressed, the early
part Of this month, to the British authorities in
Canada.


1t is to be hoped that the dangers pointed out in
these extracts not rea at least that they are
exaggerated; but some circumstances, Of public no.
toiety, give too much reason to believe that illegal
designs of some sort are on foot.


The President directs me, in making this commun-
cation TO your excelency, to express his confidence
that the government of New York will take proper
measures to secure the person Of Alexander Nc
Leod, now prisoner under the judicature Of the
laws Of that State, against violence. ., g..


II is hardly necessary TO say, that any such pro-
ceedng il is suggested is now meditated, while it
would be an outrage upon all laws and justice,
would be an occurrence very likely to affect most
seriously the peace Of the country, n. ...r.t,-


am, SIR, respectfully, your obedient servant,


DANL. WEBSTER.


His Excellency the GOVERNOR OF New York.
