Washington, 28th March, 1864.

My LORD,—With reference to my Despatches, No. 139 of the 29th ultimo, No. 111 of the 15th January last, and No. 20 of the 12th of the same month, I have the honor to transmit to Your Lordship copies of a further note from Mr. Seward, and its enclosure, relative to the restrictions imposed at New York on the Trade with the British Colonies.

I have also the honor to transmit to Your Lordship a copy of a Despatch which I have written to the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, who has been so good as to send me a copy of a Despatch on the subject of these restrictions which he addressed to the Duke of Newcastle on the 14th instant.

I add a copy of a Despatch with which I have sent Mr. Consul Archibald a copy of Mr. Seward’s note.

I have, &c. (Signed) LYONS.
