Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 916.]

Department of State, Washington, April 22, 1864.

Sir: I have your despatch of April 8, No. 653, which relates to the proceedings at Mauritius, in the matter of the cargo of the Sea Bride. It will be well, I think, to defer a representation on that subject until a season more propitious than the present one.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
