SIR: understand that there isa letter in town
from Sir Thomas Hardy addressed to The British
this government considers tlie whole coast of Peru,
son;h OF the cnpiEil, rs under blockade, although
there IS no force stationed before amy one port
crp ihat VI Callau. This information is much at
variance with the Impressions have uniformly
ceiget, during my residence here, that must be-
iese some mistake has arisen either with my infor-
Hllaf, or with the British admiral
Will you therefore allow me, Sir, 10 ask from you
The fact on this subject ii is question of great
nen; one of peculiar interest 81 he United States,
since our last contest with Great Biiain and up
on which am anxious that there should exist no
difference Of opinion. The principle, upon which
the right of exclusion from any specific port is found
eat, Us The temporary sovereignty acquired by The
presence OF The force of bclgerent, competent,
nj ,,f 4,
hHrhor. Hence it is obvious, tlIIt, TO the legal
ercise OF the rights growing Of the blockade The
force must be permanent in lis station
There wll offer a conveyance to the United States,
10 few days, of which couId wish to avail m, self
as well 10 satisfy the President Of the strict adhcr.

Supreme Director, 10 defeat the eject Of ruinors
