Washington, August 17, 1861.
Sir: * * * * * * * *
You will learn from a distinct despatch, No. 41, which accompanies or which will soon follow this, that our negotiation in England has taken a new phase, which, of course, will soon present itself in discussion with the French government.

I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
William L. Dayton, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
