Sir: With reference to your No. 311, respecting the destitution among certain American citizens at Livingston, I have to inclose herewith, for your information, a copy of a communication of the 25th instant, from the Secretary of the Navy, from which it appears that Admiral Jouett, commanding the United States naval force on the North Atlantic station, has been authorized to send a vessel of his command to Livingston, with instructions to her commanding officer to confer with the consular agent at that place, and after ascertaining the condition of affairs among the destitute Americans, to take such steps for their relief, and to supply them with such food, clothing, and medical stores as he may deem necessary, and to transport such to New Orleans as he can accommodate on board and as may desire to return.

I am, &c.,

FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
