Office Of the Captain General Of Por-
to Raco.
Host Excellent SIR: this moment
received the very estimable letter of
your Excellency, dated the 9Th Of the
preasnt month, in which your Excel
iency has been pleased 10 communicate
to me the important commission which
has been entrusted to you by govern
ment that claims the respect of all the
territories within its influence.
have the satisfaction of forwarding
to your Exeellency a nominal report of
the privateer vessels which have been
armed and des patched, for the purpose
of cruising by the competent authority
in this island, agreeably to the request
which your excellency has made Inc in
the letter of that date; and | am ex.
tremely sorry to find myself So situated
that cannot comply with the wishes
of your Excellency in regard to my
transmitting you set of blank forms,
for the purpose Of enabling your Excel
lency how and when to respect their
commissions. The diplomas which they
receive come from our court already
signed Nv his Most Catholic Majesty,
and the Minister to whom this Office
pertains. leaving in these cases the
naval authority here limited only to the
filing Of the blank spaces in them with
the name of the captain and the vessel.
Thus situated, it is impossible for me
to accede to your circumspect views in
this particular object. But, neverthe-
less, if it should, On occasion, appear
requisite to your Excellency, the said
diplomas or commissions can be exam
ined, together with blank signature
Of the captain of thi. port, in order
that sufficient ground may be esta.
blished for comparing this signature
with those which may be presented,
keeping in view the prospectus of those
with which the said privateers are
cruising. :,
lam likewise asked by your Excel.
lency for information how far my in
structions are extended for interruptiDg
the commerce of the United States with
Mexico and the Republic of Colombia;
and for your qualification, it is my duty
to declare, that find myself sufficient
ly instructed to state, that the blockade
which was established on all the coasts
aud ports Of the provinces of vsnezus-
Ia has been raised. Under these cir.
comstanees, l consider the commerce
of the United States to be in free capa-
city for an intercourse with that of the
places formerly blockadsd; reserving.
however, for lawful capture the vessels
of any nation which shall be found
conveying implements of war to the in,
surgentsoor people disposed to co.ope-
rate with them in their military resist.
.nce. can give your ExceIiency no
certain information concerning Mexico;
but it, my opinion that tho circumstan-
ces and condition are to be found the
same as those Of Venezuela.
