No. 23.]
Sir: With reference to my letter of the 22d instant, I am directed by Earl Russell to inform you that it appears from a dispatch which has been received from Sir F. Bruce that your son is to be tried in the court of the county of Ottawa, of Ohio, on the charge of robbery, and not for robbery on the high seas and piracy, as previously proposed.
Sir F. Bruce adds that he does not consider that it would be advisable for him to make any application to the United States Government on your son’s behalf at present.
I am, &c.,
E. HAMMOND.
