Washington, 15th February, 1864.

SIR,—It is with great regret that I find myself again called upon to remonstrate against placed upon the Trade between New York and places within the Queen’s Dominion

I beg you to give your serious attention to the enclosed extracts from Despatches from Her Majesty’s Consul at New York; and I trust that some measures will be taken without delay to remedy, or at least to mitigate the grievances which are set forth in them.

I have, &c. (Signed) LYONS.
