Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 2601, of the 4th instant, inclosing copies of additional correspondence relative to the case of Messrs. H. C. Harding and P. E. Dugat, convicted of smuggling in Mexico, from which correspondence it appears that, by authority of the President, the sentence has been remitted to three times the duties, in addition to the simple duties in the case.

You need take no further action in the matter.
