Sir: Referring to your dispatch, No. 15, dated August 5, 1876, I have the honor to state that I have left with Lord Derby a copy of the same, but have not been able yet to have any conversation with him. Lord Tenterden is out of town.

I shall promptly attend to whatever Lord Derby may say or communicate on the subject of that dispatch.

I have, &c.,

EDWAEDS PIEEREPONT.
