No. 319.]

Sir: I have received, and perused with much interest, your dispatch of the 22d ultimo, No. 206.

Your statement in regard to effect produced in Germany by the message of the President to Congress announcing the union of South with North Germany is very gratifying, and your sketch of the organization and policy of united Germany and the progress of liberal political views in the states composing the new German empire, together with your account of the speech of the Emperor at the first sitting of the parliament of Germany, are equally so.

I am, &c.,

HAMILTON FISH.
