Letter
William L. Dayton to Wm. H. Seward, June 28, 1861
Mr. Dayton to Mr. Seward.
No. 14.]
Paris, June 28, 1861.
Sir: Your despatches (Nos. 13 and 14) are duly received. The copy of your letter to Lord Lyons, recognizing the rights of neutrals to property taken in vessels of the insurgents, will be communicated on the first opportunity to Mr. Thouvenel. This will relieve any doubts the French government may have had heretofore on this subject.
* * * The Emperor and most of the ministers being in the country, and the legislative chambers about to adjourn, there is little probability of anything of interest occurring here at an early day, unless something shall occur in America which shall give rise to it.
With much respect, I am yours, very truly,
WM. L. DAYTON
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.
