Mr. Bancroft to Mr. Fish.

No. 135.]

Sir: Having received a telegram from Commander Luce, of the Juniata, that the French blockade of the Elbe and Weser had been raised on the 11th, I telegraphed the news to you yesterday.

To-day I have to inform you that the French steamer Pereire, which on its voyage from New York touched at Brest, had on board for Havre a considerable number of Remington guns. This fact is also known to the government here. * * * * *
