Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 16th instant, transmitting a copy of communications which have been addressed to you by the minister of foreign affairs in refutation of accusations made against the French military forces by the government of North Germany, to the effect that they had voluntarily disregarded in the present war the rules of international law. I shall not fail to communicate a translation of these papers to the minister of North Germany accredited to this Government.
Accept, sir, a renewed assurance of my highest consideration.
HAMILTON FISH.
