LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,

SIR: My letter of the 9Th inst will have informed
you of the step taken by me to apprise the Prince
of Wales of the desire expressed by the common
council of New York that he should visit your great
city at the close of his public duties in Canada.
have now the honor to transmit note addressed
to me in answer to my communication by her MaJes-
TVS principal Secretary Of State for foreign affairs
conveying the gratifying assurance that his royal
Highnes, with the high sanction of his ilustrious
mother and her government will meet the wishes of
your community. With the highest respect, sir,
your most obedient servant, G.. NJ. DALLAS.
To his Excellency, Fernando Wood, Mayer Of
New York.
The undersigned her Majesty's principal Secretary
of State for foreign affairs has the honor acknow
edge communication addressed to him by Mr.. Dal-
las, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister PlenIpoten-
tary of the United States, containing resolution
expressive of the wish Of the municipality of New
York and of its important and wealthy community
to receive a visit from his royal Highness, the
Prince of Wales on the OCCASION Of his royal High
ness presence in the colonial possessions of his
Majesty.
The undersigned, having laid these documents be-
fore her Majesty and the Prince of Wales, is com
manded by them to express to Mr. Dallas the high
sense which they entertain of the importance OF
strengthng, by every means the relations OF friend
ship and regard which bind this country 10 the
United States of America. When, therefore, the
public duties, for the performance of which the
Prince undertakes the voyage across the Atlantic
to her Majestys North Americana colonies shall be
concluded, both the consideration referred to and
the natural desire the part of the Prince to visit
some of the institutions and of the most pro
minent objects of interest in the United States will
prompt his royal Highness, on his return from the
upper province of Canada TO direct his route through
portion of that great country and that route Will
include visit to the important city OF New York.
The time allowed for this journey will, however,
under all circumstances be necessarily very limited,
and will it be consequently out of the power of his
royal Highness to make prolonged stay.
His royal Highness will, on leaving the British
SOIL lay aside all royal state and exchange his title,
as he has done former journeys TO foreign coun-
tries, for that of Lord Re1tFew. While thus dis
pensing with any ceremony which might be incOn-
venient to the communities which he hopes to visit
he trusts to be enabled private gentleman to
ploy the small amount of time at his disposal in the
study of the most interesting objects in the United
States, and of the ordinary life of the American
people.
The undersigned is directed to request thas Mr..
Dallas will communicate to his Excellency, Fer
nando Wood, the expression of the satisfaction felt
by the Prince of Wales upon receiving the resolu-
ton of the municipality of New York, and of his
hope that toward the latter end of September he
may be enabled to pay visit to the city they rep
resent and to the mercantile community who have
given to him so welcome testimony of their friendly
regard.
The undersigned requests Mr. Dallas to accept the
assurance OF his highest consideration.
