Mr. Mercier to Mr. Seward
Legation of France to the United States, Washington, December 5, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to transmit to your excellency, and recommend to the examination of the federal government, a complaint which has been addressed to me by Mr. Lange, a French subject, resident at New Orleans, and which has relation to a serious injury which had been caused him by the forcible detention at that port of the schooner Allison, cleared for Matamoras, and detained by higher authority.
HENRI MERCIER.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
