In the following correspondence will b,

history of the outrages Of the inhabitants o
that town upon the rights, persons, and pro
perry of the Transit Company, and the insul
to Mr.. Borland. We have omitted sach part
as have no immediate bearing upon the recen
acts, and also repettions Of the subject-mattel
contained in the letters.
NAVY DEPARTMENT,
lime 10, 1854
SIR: The government has recently received
intelligence that the interests of our country,
man require the presence ola national vessel
at San Juan or Greytown, and from your ex
perience in that region and confidence IN your
energy and prudence, and in pursuance of the
wishes of the President, the department has
concluded TO direct that you proceed with the
Cyane to that port so soon as she can be fully
ready for service.
The property of the American citizens in
terested in the Accessory Transit Company, i
is said, has been unlawtully detained by per
sons residing in Greytowng Apprehension il
felt that further outrages will be committed
Our minister, Mr.. Borland, has been treated
with rudeness aud disrespect.
You will, however, learn from Mr.. Fabens
commercial agent at Greytown, more particu
larly the conduct of those people and the views
of our government, which have been communi.
Gated TO him from the State Department. You
will consult with him freely, and ascertain the
true state Of The facts. Now, it is very desira-
BILE that these people should be taught that the
United States will not tolerate these outrages,
and that they have the power and the determi,
nation to check them. 1t is however, very
much 10 be hoped that you can effect the pur-
poses of your vist.without resort to violence
aud destruction of property and loss of life.
The presence of your vessel will, no doubt,
work much good. The department reposes
much in your prudence and good sense.
Former dispatches have acquainted you with
the peculiar political position of this town, and
of the relations Of our government to it. You
viii remain there no longer than you may deem
necessary, as it is a warm and unhealthy eli.
mate. You will advise the department of your
movements, and, after leaving Greytown, you
wil touch at Pensacola and receive orders
from Commodore Newton there, if lot earlier,
as you will constitute part of his squadron.
am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
j. c. D0BBIN.
