Sir: Your dispatch, No. 185, of the 5th ultimo, relative to the apprehended danger to trade between the United States and Germany, if the grounds of complaint of the latter as to the special duty on sugar be not removed, has been received and read with attention.

I am, etc.,

Edwin F. Uhl, Acting Secretary.
