Although the suggestions contained in the
following dispatch have been, to a certain
extent, anticipated by the Department Of
State, these papers are published for gen

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
PARIS, October 2, 1865.
SIR:-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your dispatch, No. 2S4, with
an enclosure, by which l am advised
of the appointment of j. C. Derby,
ESQ.,, of New York, as Agent for the
French Universal Exhibition of 1867, to
serve in the United States. l also have the
honor to enclose a copy of letter, this day
received from Mr.. Beckwith, Commissioner
of the Exhibition for the United States re-
siding at Paris, from the tenor of which it
would appear desirable that Americans
wishing te exhibit should be not fed as
soon as possible to send in their applications,
with specifications, TO Mr.. Derby, instead Of
sending them to Mr.. Beckwith. The rea-
sons for giving this direction are sufficient
ly declared in Mr.. Beckwith's note.
would suggest, also, that the exhibitors be
notified, at the same time:tO make their ap-
plication as soon as possible that the New
York Commissioner may have time enough
to make-his selections, allOtments of space,
liza 20 and fransrnit than 10 ha
Commissioner at Paris before the 3Ist Of
January.
1t may also be desirable that the public
be prepared in some way, either in this no
tice, or otherwise, TO expect that it will be
the endeavor of the commissioners to re-
ceive as complete a representation of the
arts and industry of the United States as is
possible. For that purpose it will be nee
essary for them to make a selection of repre-
sentations of articles of every class, rather
than expect many specimens in same class
es, whatever may be their merit, as our
space is limited. 1t is well that this guiding
principle of having a complete exposition, il
we are to have any, should be known early,
both to aid in bringing about such desira-
bic result and to prevent needless disaP-
pointment. 1t is to be presumed that the
army and navy Departments will have some
it is needless for me to say that anything
from those quarters would be likely to COM
mand special attention.
am, sir, with great respect,
your ob't servant,

Hon. WM II. SEWARD, Sec'y of State.
Mr.. Beckwith to Mr.. Bigelow-enclosed
in dispatch No. 191:
PARIS, Oct. Goth, 1865.
DEAR SIR: In conformity with the in
structions of the Secretary of State which
you communicated to me, l have to-day
placed myself in correspondence with j.
c. Derby, agent at New York, and have
prepared for him, first, a general letter
placing before him the present state of that
part of the business and of the exhibition ci
1867, which he will have first to take up
Second, The loss of time consequent upon
the necessity of waiting for the action o.
| Congress renders it necessary to transfer tc
New York the work of dividing the ground
among the exhibitors, as suggested to you
| in my published letter of the 3Oth of July
where preparations can be made, pending
the needful legislation to complete the worE
of distribution in brief space of time after
wards. | have therefore transmitted t
Mr.. Derby eighteen letters, com
prising all of the applications 0

ed to this date. have desired him to plac,
the letters on record as part of the appli
cation to be considered in making the dis
tribution of ground, and have, in conformi
ty, advised the writers that they will re
ceve from Mr.. Derby, in due time, defnit
advices of the result of their applications
| shall now prepare, as early as possible
plans and drawings by which Mr.. Derb.
will be governed in making allOtments, anC

the general order to which all must conform

would now suggest the expediency of
notice authorized by the Government, re
questing all who wish to exhibit, and hav,
not made application, to send in their ap
plications to Mr.. Derby within a limit o
time, beyond which no application can b,
received. The work will be so far ad
vanced by this method, trust, that by tht
time the needful legislation is finished, tht
allotment can be at once made and tn,
plans, catalogues and reports sent forward
so as to be returned to the Imperial Com
missioner within the time they will be abb

attention to the importance of the allot
