WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury is in receipt of a
letter from the Collector of Customs
at New Orleans, conveying the com
municati0n of William McCreery,
relative to the importation of Coolies
into this country, and asking for in
structions from the Department. He
replies that McCreery mistakes In
stating that the Act of February.
1862, prohibiting American citizens
from engaging in Coolies. has been
abrogated. On the 10Th Of January,
1867. a resolution was passed unani-
mously by both Houses of Congress,
expressing the adherence of the
people of the United States for the
Coolie trade, and IN conformity with
this resolution, Secretary McCulloch
addressed, to the Collector at New
Orleans, a letter bearing date of Au-
gust 10, 1867, of which a copy is en-
closed, and also Article Five to a
treaty between the United States and
the Chinese Empire. concluded at
Washington On the 18th day of last
July, and which now awaits the
action of the Emperor, which repro
bates any other than voluntary emil
grafton, and agrees to make it a penal
otfense TO take Chinese subjects from
China without their free and volu1-
taTy consent.
The Department of State, by oircu-
lar of 18th January, 1867, addressed
to the Ministers and Consuls of the
United States, directs that consuls at
every port where coolies may embark
be required to certify, after full ex-
animation, that such embarkation is
not enforced or procured by fraud,
but is voluntary; and requires that
such ministers and consuls use all
the authority, power, aud influence
at their command toward preventing
and discouraging the carrying on Of
the traffic referred to in any way.
Such being the facts in the case, the
Collector is authorized and directed
to use all vigilance in the suppression
of this (as the Secretary says) new
modification of the slave trade.
