Mr. Seward to Mr. Bigelow
Sir: Referring to your despatch of the 28th ultimo, No. 40, and to my reply of the 23d instant, No. 79, in regard to insurgent piratical movements and schemes in Europe, I have now to inform you that, by a letter of yesterday, the Secretary of the Navy informs me that the Kearsarge, now at Boston, has been ordered to proceed to the coast of Europe for the purpose of co-operating with the vessels now engaged in watching the movements of the Stonewall, and will use all possible despatch in reaching her destination.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
John Bigelow, Esq., &c., &c., &c. Paris.
