Sir: The Department has received information to the effect that illegal expeditions are in progress at New Orleans, Mobile, Jacksonville, Charleston, Savannah, and other southern ports, for the purpose of aiding the insurgents in the island of Cuba. It is consequently suggested that such instructions be given to the/proper officers in that quarter as may prevent or lead to a punishment of any violation of the act of Congress of the 20th of April, 1818.
I have the honor to be, &c.,
