The President sxsin directed Mr. Fish to ssy that
ts viewed with regret sueh swes pins ntsrse. once
with the rights OF individuals and that he hoped
steps would he speedily taken to modify that de-
cree that IL might be applicable to prouerty of
citizens OF tie United States. When seventeen ,ys
later decree issued creating administrative
council for the custody and management OF embar.
Captain General issued circular extending the pre-
v0us embargo to toe property OF all persons. e,Aer
the insurrection whether with arms or by material
aid, this Government confidently expected that the
Cabinet OF Madrid and the authorities OF Spain in
the island would regard the expression OF It's wishes
and would not willingly permit the rights OF cl
gems Of the United States to be interfcred with,
or their properties to be sequestered without
the forms ot law TO which they were entitled.
