Mr. Pierrepont to Mr. Evarts.

No. 238.]

Sir: I have finally concluded a trade-mark convention with the Earl of Derby, excluding all the objectionable words about which I wrote in my dispatch No. 191. The convention was signed in duplicate yesterday at half past three o’clock at the foreign office, and I forward the same herewith to-day.

I have, &c.

EDWARDS PIERREPONT.
