Mr. Dayton to Mr. Seward

Paris, April 22, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to send you herewith a translation of a communication from Count Manderstrom, minister of foreign affairs for the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway, to Mr. Haldeman, United States minister at that court.
This communication expressly denies the allegation made by Mr. Arman to M. Drouyn de l’Huys that a contract had been entered into between him and the government of Sweden for the sale of certain of the rebel vessels building at Bordeaux.
I have just enclosed a copy of this communication, together with a copy of Mr. Haldeman’s letter to me accompanying it, to M. Drouyn de l’Huys.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WM. L. DAYTON.
Hon. William H. Seward Secretary of State, &c., &c., &c.
