The minister of foreign affairs to Mr. Tuckerman, minister resident of the United States of North America.

Athens, November 9–21, 1868.

Mr. Minister: The Chamber of Deputies, on the last day of its regular session, passed a decree by which it expresses to the Senate, House of Representatives, and people of the United States, the most profound sentiments of acknowledgment for their generous solicitude for the Greek nation.

I have the honor to transmit herewith, in original, the above-mentioned decree; also the translation of the letter in which the president of the legislative body communicates to me the decree in question.

You will notice, Mr. Minister, the unanimous applause with which this decree was greeted by the representatives of the nation. The government of the King, animated by the same sentiments as those of the representatives, esteems itself happy to reiterate this assurance on this occasion.

Accept, Mr. Minister, &c., &c.,

P. DELYANNI.
