Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday’s date respecting a number of persons, said to be of desperate character, who are reported to have lately arrived in this country, and I have to inform you, in reply, that I have caused the information contained in your letter to be communicated to the proper department of Her Majesty’s government, with a view to such measures being taken as the law allows to defeat any such attempts as are therein alluded to.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

RUSSELL.

Charles Frances Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
