Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Nos. 151 and 152, of April 6 and 14 last, relative to a decree of the Chilean Government closing to commerce certain ports of Chile while in the hands of the insurgents.

In view of the fact that you have “obtained full and friendly assurances that American vessels will not be subjected to any inconveniences,” the necessity for any formal instructions to you in the premises has been anticipated.

I am, etc.,

William F. Wharton,
Acting Secretary.
