New Orleans, Oct 30 1857.
Sin In my last communication TO you dated on the
evening of the 26th instant below Mobile 1 announced
the arrival the vessel in nine days from the capes of
Virginia. and that in compliance with your instructions,
about to proceed up to the city to confer with the
United States district attorney, A. J. Kcgnier, esq.
This did, having two quite lengthy and separate in
teryiews with him. After the first interview he called
upon the collector and other officers connected with the
custom house. with whom previously ho had been in
slant communication, and he stated to me that beyond
floating there nothing tangible nothing which
would warrant authorize government officers to act
prosecution in regard to the ttingout Of
unIawul military expeditions against territories with
whom the United States at peace But, still, he
said that he could not but help expressing the opnno
that public sentiment in Mobile in favor of these
petitions to Central America that frequent theme
of conversation Change in the Streets and at the
hotels and further that there seemed to be idea pre-
vang in this part of the country that the cabinet at
Washington rather winhed ut the tng-out and depart
ure these expeditions than to be seriously disposed to
prevent them but that he and other government officers
had endeavored to correct public opinion upon thaPont
Being just from Washington stated that knew that the
government utterly opposed to any such expeditions
and had most decidedly set its face against them.
The non recognition Of the minister from Nicara
qua has given feeling of encouragement to these peo
BILE as they view it that the United States do not look upon
and acknowledge Nicaragua independent republic
They speak of this in the highest degree encouraging
to prospective operations there to have been
explanation in the public prints why this minister was
not recognised.
Another point which they make and lay great stress
upon is they allege, that Gen. Cass, upon
sion most explicitly said that American citizens when
they emgrate have right to take their arms with them
Although the feeling generally rife in regard to this
matter it has been for few years past yet it
to be considered that these contemplated expeditions
only embarrassed but crippled for the want of funds
owing to the financial pressure existing throughout the
country.
/ have just arrived at the anchorage here, and am
about to proceed to the city TO communicate with the
United States district attorney in regard to these matters
and will inform the department of the result of my visit
to this place.

SIR In regard to the instructions received by me
from the Navy Department, dated the 3D. inst, am
there referred for my guidance to the law enacted by Con
ress approved April 90 1873 entitled San act for the
punishment of certain crimes against the United States
and am also referred to circular issued by the State
Department dated September Is, 1867 addressed to
rious civil officers of the United States.
These directions to preserve the neutrality of the
try very plain for the government of officers where
they required to act in the ports of in the ursc
lion Of the United States but must confess that might
find myself embarrassed when required to act in foreign
and neutral port Therefore, must be partoned for
Letting from the honorable Secretary of the Navy
TO certain questions and specific instructions in the
premises.
Suppose for instance that while lying in port Of Central
Amrcaan American steamer should enter, having board
large number of men whom suspect of being llibus
tcrs people intending TO land for the purpose of OBJ
tanning possession Of the country and of forming gov
eminent there must seize this vessel and bring her
into port of the United States merely the force
placed ut my command to prevent their landing
1t is generally conceded that American citizens have
right travel and go where they please. Suppose that
this suspicious body of men inform that they go
ing To travel that their intention Is to the isthmus
intend to settle peaceaby in the country for the pur
pose of developing its agricultural resources indeed
that they have been invited to and settle there.
These and other delicate points and kindred questions
which may suggest themselves to the honorable Secretary
Of the Navy deem it necessary be enlightened upon
in order that may not compromise the government and
Mt the time be enabled to assert and exercise the
power nrustcd my hands with due spirit dignity and
Justice
