FOREIGN OFFICE, JUNE 7.

Eari Russell, Is G., her Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, has received the following De-
spatch from the Honourable Charles Augustus Murray,
C.B , her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary at Dresden:—

Dresden, June 2, 1864.

My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lordship
that great and continually recurring inconvenience is expe-
rienced at this mission from the number of travellers
claiming (I do not say falsely) to be Britieh subjects, who
apply here for passports, but who are entirely unprovided
with any proof whatever of their nationality, beyond their
own assertion.

This is, I believe, chiefly caused by an idea prevalent in
England, that in Germany generally, but at any rate in
Saxony, passports are not required. This is true, so far as
relates to passing through the country; but the police re-
gulations prohibit any residence, or even a short stay, in
Dresden, unless a passport be deposited at the police-
office.

Again, many travellers go to Austria via Dresden, and,
if unprovided with passports, are invariably turned back at
Bodenbach, the frontier station of Bohemia. They are then
forced to return to Dresden, and apply to me for passports ;
and frequently, having no proof whatever to offer that they
are not Americans, or other than British subjects, are de-
tained here until the necessary proofs can be sent from
England.

ka the time is now approaching when the usual influx of
British travellers may be expected, I would venture to sug-
gest to your Lordship that much inconvenience would bo
spared to travellers, as well as to her INhjesty's missions, if
the advisability, if not absolute necessity, of all persons
providing themselves with passports before going to Ger-•
many were made known to the public through the Foreign.
