Sir, I have received your despatch, No. 8, of the 12th ult., stating that measures have been taken for-the purpose of raising a subscription in the United States for the relief of the destitute Irish poor. And I have to instruct you to take every opportunity of saying how grateful Her Majesty's Government, und the British nation at large, feel for this kind and honorable manifestation of sympathy by the citizens of the United States for the sufferings of the Irish people. It might, indeed, have been expected, that a generous and high-minded nation would deeply commiserate the sufferings which an awful visitation of Providence has inflicted upon so large a population, descended from the same ancestors as themselves. But the Rctivc and energetic assistance which the people of the United States are thus affording to the poor Irish, while it reflects the highest honor upon our transatlantic brethren, must tend to draw closer, and to render stronger nnd more lasting, those ties of friendship and mutual esteem, which Her Majesty's Government trusts, will long continue to exist between the two great branches ofthe Anglo-Saxon family— separated, indeed from each other by geographical position, but united together by common interests, to which every succeeding year must add increasing extension and force.
