No. 176.]

Sir: Although the Prussian government has not
issued a proclamation upon the subject referred to in my last despatch,
I still continue to receive from the minister of foreign affairs the
strongest assurances of the sympathies and friendship of this
government.* * * * * * * * *

Your circular of the 6th of May has been received, but the subject had
been duly considered previously thereto. No opportunity will be
neglected to counteract any efforts that may be made by individuals or
associations in negotiations hostile to the United States.

* * * * *

I have the honor to be, most respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOSEPH A. WRIGHT.

Hon. William H. Seward,
Secretary of State, Washington, D C.
