Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 24th of March, No. 908, together with a copy of the Times, containing a report of the proceedings in both houses of Parliament on the evening of the 23d ultimo, from which it is evident that the tone of the British ministry towards this government is much changed. The indications of a more just appreciation of American affairs in England are received with satisfaction.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
