Mr. Evarts, Attorney-General, to Mr. Courtney, district attorney.

Such expeditions are in violation of our neutrality laws, and I beg that you will give the subject immediate attention, and report to me the result of your inquiries during my expected visit to the city of New York.
I am, very respectfully, yours, &c.,
WM. M. EVARTS,
Attorney-General.
