Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to state to your excellency that your note No. 100, of the 13th instant, has reached my hands, with the copy you send me of the letter which Messrs. C. Atkins & Co., of Boston, addressed to you, giving an account of the destruction of certain cane fields.

I avail, etc.,
