TIE FULTON AND WABASH ORDER
ED TO PROTECT AMERIC4N SHIPS.
A SIS, 100000 Loan Asked Fer.

WAsHISGToy, May 19.-The President sent
brief message into the Senate to-day, in reply
to the resolutions heretofore adopted. The
following are the most interesting among them.
Mr.. CaSs writes to Mr.. Dallas, on May 18th,
as follows: Sir-The accompanying papers, cop
les Of the originals, which have just been recei-
we'd will make known to you that another out
lrage has Just been committed against the rights
of the United States by British armed vessel,
; which calls for the immediate attention OF the
British Government. / am pursuaded to be
lieve that if the occurrences took place as sta
ted, tie conduct of the British officers will be
F disayowed and condemned. i beg you would
communicate to Lord Malmsbury the earnest
desire of the President that this practice, which
seems to become more prevalent, of OBTAINING
and searching American vessels Shall be diScon
T tinued, and the most pcremtory order for that
purpose shall be given and enforced. Such a
measure is called for by important considera-
tions, which will readily occur to you.
While the Government is determined to use
! all proper measure for the suppression of the
slave trade, it is not less desrons that the past
} immunties of the vessels of the United States
upon the ocean may be preserved. Whatever
} may have been the true objects Of the voyage,
the Cortez, itshe had papers stating her Amer
ican character, size was subject 10 neither search
nor capture by the British cruiz9r. do not
doubt the facts reported will be fully over-csti-
mated by the British Government, and proper
measures taken to- prevent the recurrence ot
similar acts hereafter Mr.. Cass, in q letter to
Secretary Toucy dated May 10th, commuuica-
ted the statement of the Consul General at la
wanna in relation to the aggressive outrages
committed against vessel of the United States.
lie adds, the subject calls for the immediate
attention of the Government and Mr.. Dallas
has been instructed to bring it to the attention
of the British Government, with a view to such
action as the circumstances demand. Outrages
of this nature against our vessels, iflonger con-
tnued cannot fail to lead to unpleasant cense-
-quences 1t appears that several British arm
ed vessels are cruising on the coast OF Cuba, and
that our merchant vessels are exposed to yeXa-
tious Interruptions by their interference. 1t is
therefore proper that a vessel should be dis
patched with Instructions to render prompt pro-
lection to all American vessels that may need it.
The forcible search, by cruisers Of that power,
on the high seas cannot be tolerated
The Secretary of the Navy wrote to the
President on the 18th of May that the steamer
Fulton, Capt. Almy, had been ordered to crui;e
actively on the northern coast of Cuba, and
take such measures as may be deemed necesSa-
ry to protect all vessels OF the United States on
the high seas from search or detention by the
t vessels Of war of any other nation. Orders
ihave been given for the preparation Of the Ra-
zee Savannah and the Brig Dolphin, to join the
home squadron, for the purpose of cruising in
the neighborhood ofCuba, and the steam frigate
Wabash now fitting up at New York as the
flag ship Of the Mediterranean, to show her flag
in those quarters, and protect at all times the
persons and property Of American citizens.
Mr. Cass writing to Mr.. Dallas on May 18th
informs him that various statements have been
made in the public papers, showing there are
cases of forcibe detention and searches of A.
merican vessels by British armed ships of wal
in the Cult of Mexico and the adjoining high
seas. Ia.- rr.... H a" s.a'
In addition to these aggressions on tee high
seas, and the indie ensible act ofvioence against
several of our merchant vessels said to be elev-
en- in number forcible entry and examina-
ton has been committed bya British armed
steamer in the barbor of Sagua la Grande, ir
the island of Cuba. No authentic report has
reached the Department, except letter from
our Counsel General at HAVANA, and Of which 0
t copy is transmitted. Proper measures have
been taken to procure all necessary information
which will be forwarded to you, and when al
