Mr. Bigelow to Mr. Seward

No. 311.]

Sir: Since posting my despatch No. 302, in relation to the arrest and imprisonment of Francis Pierre, a naturalized citizen of the United States, a correspondence, of which I enclose a copy, has passed between the ministry of foreign affairs and this legation. I am promised an early official reply to my last note, which I hope may close the correspondence satisfactorily.

I am, sir, with great respect, your very obedient servant,

JOHN BIGELOW.

Hon. William h. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
