Mr. Jones to Count d’Aspremont Lynden.

Legation of the United States, Brussels, July 1, 1874.

Sir: Under instructions from the Government of the United States I have the honor to transmit to your excellency a certified copy of a joint resolution of the Congress of the United States, approved by the President on the 17th of June, 1874, in regard to the termination of the treaty concluded between the United States and His Majesty the King of the Belgians on the 17th of July, 1858.

I have the honor to further inform your excellency that I am directed to notify His Majesty’s government that as it is considered to be no longer for the interest of the United States to continue the said treaty in force, it will terminate and be of no further effect, as provided by the terms of the instrument, at the expiration of twelve months from the date of the reception by your excellency of this note.

I pray, &c.,

J. R. JONES.

His Excellency Count d’Aspremont Lynden, Minister of Foreign Affairs, &c., &c., &c.
