No. 31. Mr. Jay to Mr. Fish.

No. 424.]

Sir: To my. No. 422, of the 22d March, was appended a copy of a note which, at the suggestion of the Count Andrassy, I had addressed to his excellency, on the limited protection afforded by the Austrian patent-laws to American manufacturers.

I have to-day received a preliminary-response from the foreign office a translation of which is appended, advising me that my note had been submitted without de ay to the minister of commerce, Dr. Banhans, and that that minister will soon be ready to present to the Reichsrath the project of a special law for the provisional protection of articles introduced at the Vienna Exposition.

I am, &c.,

JOHN JAY.
