Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
My Lord: I have the honor to communicate, for your information, the translation of a despatch which Edward Count Piper, minister resident of Sweden, recently submitted to me, in which his government has expressed a solicitude that any infringements on the law of nations might be carefully avoided by the armed ships of the United States which may have occasion to visit the Danish ports in the West Indies, with a copy of my reply, and of the accompaniments to which it refers.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to your lordship the assurance of my high consideration.
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
