Washington, August 9.
Inform Lord Granville by note that the President has named Judge James S. Frazer, late of the supreme court of Indiana, as commissioner under article twelve of the treaty. You will also see him and say that instructions have been sent by telegraph to Minister Marsh, to request the consent of Italian government to Count Corti acting as the commissioner to be named conjointly by the two governments; and request him, if he sees fit, to give instructions to British minister in Italy to make a similar and contemporaneous request.
