Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

Legation of the United States,

London, August 2, 1861.
Sir: I have the honor to transmit the copy of a note addressed by me, on the 29th of July last, to Lord John Russell, and likewise a copy of his lordship’s reply. I must frankly admit that I do not understand the meaning of the last paragraph.
I have transmitted a copy of his lordship’s note to Mr. Dayton. I doubt not that it will be deemed by him so far satisfactory as to induce him to take the necessary measures for a simultaneous negotiation as soon as the customary arrangements with the French government can be made
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
