As you state that this communication is made solely out of respect to her Majesty’s government and for its information, I have only to say that I accept it in the same spirit, and shall not deem it necessary to enter into any remarks on the despatch to Mr. Dayton, a copy of which is enclosed in your letter.

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

RUSSELL.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
