Instructions 10 Commander Hollias.

NAVY DEPARTMENT, June 10, 1854
SIR: The Government has recently received ntel-
gencc that the interests of countymen require the
presence Of national vessel at San juan Greytown
and from your experience 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 10 that port
as she can be fully ready for the cruise
The property of the American citizens interested in the
Accessory Transit Company, it's said has been anaw
fully detained by persons residing in Greyown. Appre-
helion felt that further outrages win be committed
Our Minister, Mr.. Borand has been treated with rude
ness ard disrespect
You will. however, learn from Mr. Fabens Commercial
Agent Greytown more particularly the conduct OF those
people and the views Of Government, which have
been communicated 10 him from the State Department.
You will consult with him freely, and ascertain the true
state OF the facts.
Now il is very desirable that these people should be
taught that the United States will not tolerate these
RACES and that they have the power and the determination
to check them Ii is, however very much to be hoped
that you effect the purposes OF your visit without
resort TO violence and destruction of property and loss Of
kfe The presence OF your vessel will, no doubt work
much good. The Department reposes much in your pru
dence and good sense.
Former dispatches have acquainted You with the pecu
liar political position of this town. and of the relations Of
our Government 10 il. You will remain there no longer
than you may deem necessary, it is warm and I'M
healthy climate. You will advise the Department OF your
movements and after leaving Greytown You will touch
at Pensacola and receive ord. from Commodore New
