[Translation.]

The Duke de Gramont to Mr. W. Hoffman.

I have received the letter which you did me the honor to write to me, of yesterday’s date, in which you say you have been instructed by the cabinet at Washington to take under your protection the subjects of the North German Confederation residing in France. The government of his Majesty has no objection to your charging yourself with this mission, and I hasten to respond to your desire that we give to you our entire assent. * * * * * * *

GRAMONT.

Mr. Wickham Hoffman, Charge d’Affaires, &c., &c.
