In addition to my note of this day’s date, I have the honor of informing you that through the Navy Department the most positive orders have been transmitted to all the authorities dependent on the said department, in the sense of your note addressed to me under date of the 14th instant, and that probably a man-of-war will start for the Azores to aid the aforesaid authorities.
