I don't know what administration it was under. I believe it was around 1850, so it
could have been Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce. I have come across a document on the net
that shows Lincoln wrote him a letter. I know he also wrote something praising Robert E.
Lee once (which is funny because I'm related Lee's good friend Stonewall Jackson
on my mother's side). He was obviously well connected, and I'm sure his
representation of Columbia, Costa Rica and Spain helped that.
If you search him, you should be able to find more info. You can also try "James M
Carlisle" with "bar" thrown in or "lawyer."
