Of my last dispatch.
6 Since its date have had several CONVEX
sations with the Minister of Foreign Relatl-
ons relative to the progress of the treaty. lie
is at work upon it, and probably in good ear
nest; but the discussions with Russia, and the
other affairs of this continent, give him and
the Emperor so much occupation, that Cab
not count upon their getting on very fast with
ours.
"But he enrleavors to assure me that 1t
shallnot suffer much delay, and that most OF
the essential points that insist upon will be
agreed to- These declarations, however, are
not sufficiently precise to be relied on

It seems from variety of documents that
have seen, and among others the decision Of
Sir William Scott in The. case of the ship Fox,
that the British government requires more
proof Of the effectual revocation, oy the
French government, OF the Berlin and Milan
