No. 282. Mr. Wurts to Mr. Evarts.

Legation of the United States, Rome, September 16, 1877. (Received October 4.)

No. 699.]

Sir: Without waiting to make out a translation of a note of considerable length from the Italian ministry of foreign affairs received by me to-day, I hasten to inform you of the substance of it, which is the formal denunciation on the part of the Italian Government of the consular convention between the United States and Italy, which will cease to have effect on September 17, 1878.

At the same time the Italian Government signifies its willingness to subscribe to a new convention with the United States, but with the exclusion from it of Article VI, granting immunities to the dwellings of consular officers.

I shall transmit to the Department of State a copy and translation of this note as soon as the latter can be made.

I have, &c.,

GEORGE W. WURTS.
