To THE HONORABLE THE PRESIDENT o.

Her Majesty desires to congratulate the
President upon the successful completion

The Queen is convinced that the Presi-
dent will join her in fervently hoping that

Great Britain with the United States will
prove an additional link between the ma
tions whose friendship is founded upon
their common interests and reciprocal es-

The Presidents Reply.
Washington, Aug. l6.
To HER MAJESTY VICTORIA QUEEN or
GREAT BRITAIN
The President cordially reciprocates the
congratulations Of Her Majesty the Queen
on the success of the great enterprise ac-
complished by the science, skill, and indom-
table energy Of the two countries. It is
triumph more glorious, because more
useful to mankind, than was ever won by
conqueror on the field of battle. May the
Atlantic telegraph, under the blessing Of
Heaven, prove to be bond Of perpetual
peace and friendship between the kindred
nations, and an instrument destined by
Divine Providence to diffuse Religion,
Civilization, Liberty and Law through the
world. In this view will not all nations
of Christendom spontaneously unite in the
declaration that it shall be forever neutral,
and that its communications shall be held
sacred in the passage to their places Of
destination even in the midst of hostilities?
