Washington, September 25, 1877. (Received September 26.)

Sir: With reference to the note which Sir Edward Thornton addressed to Mr. Fish on the 11th of last January, I have the honor to inform you that I have just learned from the deputy governor of Canada that the Dominion Government has concluded the inquiry into the circumstances of the case, and has decided upon setting Peter Martin at liberty without further delay.

I have the honor, &c.,

F. R. PLUNKETT.
