[Telegram]

Your August 18. Communication to French Government was read orally to Counselor of French Embassy to-day for his information. Communication to Belgian Government was read to Belgian Minister on the 22d instant. Copies were not delivered to either the French Embassy or the Belgian Legation, inasmuch as the Department prefers not to become the official medium of communications of such nature between belligerents.
