SIR: Late intelligence from America of
the recent capture Of American ships in the
Pacific by the Confederate States ship She
.nandoah, In that sea. leads me to address
you this note
AS soon as it was known in Europe that
the war in the United States was ended By
the final surrender of all the Confederate
forces In the field, Immediate measures were
taken by the proper Confederate authori-
ties here to arrest the cruise of that ship,
by orders issued to her commander, direct
ing that on their receipt he shouldimm
ately cease all hostities, and bring his ship
to the nearest colvs5lierlt port, to have her
there forthwith dsarmed and her crew dis
charged; and those orders were sent through
channels most likely to insure their speedy
and certain delivery to every point in those
distant seas where the Shenandoah would
necessarily touch, and with which she would
be In communication. It is to be presumed,
therefore, that her hostile cruise has long
since ended.
In the condition of the Confederate Coy
eminent, at the termination OF the war, the
duty Of doing this promptly was fully
recognized by its representative in Europe.
BY giving this place in your columns
you will much obige your obedient ser
want, J. M. MASON.
