No. 477.]

Sir: I have the honor to report that the affair of the American College at Harpoot hastens to a satisfactory settlement. A note from Mr. Barnum, of that institution, informs me that the application for official recognition of the schools has been sent to this city, presumably for ministerial approval.

I am, &c.,

LEWIS WALLACE.
