The President desires the examination mentioned in my letter of yesterday to be attended on the part of the Government, and the facts of the case to be fairly and fully ascertained. He wishes no delay interposed; but if you think it necessary for the full ascertainment of the facts, you will continue or adjourn the examination.

HAMILTON FISH,
