The President has formally asked Con
gress for authority to contract loan OF
fifteen million dollars for term not cx.
ceeding 10 years. The Senate Commit
tee on finance had the matter under con-
sideration.
Dir. Loring enters on his duties to-day
as Chief Justice of the Court Of Claims.
The Documents transmitted to the Sen
ate includes letter from Gen. Cass, May
10th, to Secretary Toucey, asking that a
vessel Of war be sent to the Cuban coast
with instructions to render prompt pro-
lection to American vessels.
The Secretary of the Navy wrote to the
President on the 18th of May, that the
United States steamer Fulton had been
ordered to cruise actively on the northern
coast of Cuba, and take such measures az
may be deemed necessary to protect all
vessels of the United States: Orders
have been given for the preparation of the
race Savannah and the brig Dolphin, to
join the home squadron for the purpose of
cruising in the ncighborhQcd Of Cuba,
and the steam frigate Wabash, now fitting
out at New York as flagship Of the Med
iterranean squadron, had been directed to
show her flag III those waters to protect at
all times the property of American citi-
zens.
Secretary Cass, to Mr. Dallas, May
18th, says:
"When all the facts have been asccr-
tanned, proper representations will be
made without delay to the Government of
her Catholic Majesty against this search
of American vessels by the naval forces of
another power within the territorial juris-
dicton Of Spain. The Government of
the United States is satisfied that the
Government of that country will adopt
the most efficient means to protect their
vessels, resorting to Spanish ports, from
lawless violence Such protection they
are entitled to, and if it is not secured
elsewhere, it must be found in the power
OF our own country"
Cass says he Is not informed whether
any injury was sustained in consequence
Of the proceedings against those vessels.
If there were, it is expected it will be

or by means of its intercession with the
government Of Great Britain. These fla
grant outrages against the United States,
he adds, have excited deep feeling thro'
the country, and have attracted the atten-
ton of both Houses Of Congress. Their
continuance cannot fail to produce the
most serious effects upon the relations of
the ito countries. The President conf
dentlally believes the British naval of
GERS, in the adoption of these high-handcd
measures, have acted without authority,
and have mistaken the views Of their
Government; but it is not less due to the
United States that their conduct be disa-
vowed and pcrcmptOry orders be issued to
prevent the recurrence of similar proceed
ings. You will communicate to Earl
Malmsbury the reasonable expectation of
the President that this subject shall re-
ceivc the immediate attention of her Brit
annie Majesty's government, and that of
ficcrs who have been guilty of these out
RACES, shall be held responsible for their
conduct, and that if pecuniary losses have
been sustained, the interested parties shall
receive just consideration.
