Sir: Your dispatch of the 19th of October, No. 130, has been received. Your proceeding in denouncing the attempted assassination of the Viceroy of Egypt is entirely approved. You will be expected to make this approval known to his Highness, with an assurance that the government and people of the United States unreservedly reprobate that odious crime, and fervently congratulate him upon his providential deliverance.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
