Sir: Herewith you will receive twenty copies of the minutes of the proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York on the continued piracies of vessels fitted out in Great Britain upon American commerce. I will thank you to cause them to be distributed in proper quarters, with a view to promote the adoption of such measures as will prevent the recurrence of acts of the nature complained of.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
