Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons..
My Lord: I have had the honor to receive your lordship’s note of the 4th instant, by which I learn that his excellency the lieutenant governor of New Brunswick has issued a warrant for the apprehension of the persons whose extradition has been demanded by me upon a charge of complicity in the piracies committed on board the Chesapeake, and that due exertion will be made to secure their arrest, if found in that province.
Your lordship will please accept my acknowledgments for this gratifying information, so honorable to the administration of his excellency and to the government he represents.
I have the honor to be, with high consideration, my lord, your obedient servant,
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
