Sir: Referring to my dispatch, No. 98, of the 22d ultimo, I have the honor to acquaint you that I received yesterday, from Mr. Cross, a reply to the note which I addressed to him on the 18th of June on the subject of the invitation to Great Britain to join the bi-metallic conference.

I telegraphed to you yesterday, by cable, the substance of Mr. Cross’s communication, and I inclose herewith a copy of the same in extenso.

I have received a communication from Mr. Hitt, chargé d’affaires ad interim in Paris, stating that he was authorized to announce that it had been suggested that the day for the meeting of the conference should be postponed to the tenth day of August, and I have acquainted Mr. Cross with the proposed change of date.
