Mr. Seward to Mr. Morris.

No. 61.]

Sir:Your two despatches, Nos. 61 and 62, both dated August 14, have been received. The new regulations relative to the temporary protégés of foreign consulates in the Turkish empire appear to have been conceived in a liberal and friendly spirit, and will, I do not doubt, prove satisfactory to the powers interested.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

E. Joy Morris, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Constantinople.
