THE VANDERBILT STEAMERS.

To hs Editor If The n. Y. Tribune.
Sir; Having various communications and many
editorial remarks in your journal and others, relative
TO the purchase charter Of my steamers by the Gov
ernment and supporting from snch communication, the
pnblic NAV infer that 1 desrous Of pressing my
ships upon the Government, in justice to myself beg
leave TO state that the 10th of April last offered
my.seamers to the Secretary Of the Navy in written
communication to which / received no reply.
On tue llh Of May being fearful that the Secretary
Of the Navy had not received that communication l
renewed it through W. o. Bartlett, esq, with amend
ments authorizing the Government take the steamers
at their own valuation.
As citizen of the United States and friendly TO our
common Union, felt it my duty to do what could to
sustain this Government. This alone prompted me to
make the propositions alluded to-
A. in my opinion, sufficient time has elapsed within
which to have heard something of definite character
from the Government, and as have not, feel it my
duty in this way to state that my propositions are with
drawn.
shall be- at all times in readiness TO respond TO the
wishes Of the Government to the extent of my
ability. &. Vanderbilt.
