Memorandum., December 31, 1865.

Memorandum.

Despatches of the 14th and 15th instant from the consul of Liverpool were sent to the Navy Department later in the day yesterday than the reference of Mr. Adams’s despatch, but nothing further has been received from that department; and as nothing will probably be done there in the way of business before the close of this mail, it is not likely that any further expression on the subject will pass through this department. It is possible, however, that they may send out instructions directly by this mail.
