Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the reception of despatches from the department, numbered from 635 to 639 inclusive, together with a box containing a silver medal, intended for William Griffiths, esq.
The only event of interest during the week has been the final withdrawal of his motion by Mr. Roebuck. I transmit a report of the debate of Monday evening. The part taken in it by Mr. Lindsay will not escape your attention, and, more especially, the allusions to a correspondent at Paris, through whom the conference with the Emperor was obtained. The subject is disposed of for the present session of Parliament, unless revived by some extraordinary course from without. The present impression is, that the prorogation will take place about the 28th instant, in which case little more business will be done after this week.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c.
