Sir: Tour dispatch, No. 647, of the 7th instant received. It relates to the case of Mr. C. A. Van Bokkelen, and your course in the matter is approved.

You intimate that the adverse decision on the question of Mr. Yan Bokkelen’s right to make an assignment of his property, for the benefit of his creditors generally, will be appealed from. The Department will await the result of that appeal before considering the expediency of addressing to you further instructions upon the subject.

I am, &c.,
