[Inclosure No. 1.]

Mr. Mondy, collector, to Mr. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury.

[34] Sir: I have the honor, in reply to your letter of 22d instant, directing that I examine and report if there be any such vessel fitting out in *this port, as Salvador or other, with intent of being a Cuban privateer; &c., to inform you that there is no steamer or other vessel in this port fitting or preparing to fit out for any such object. There are no steamers in this port, except our regular river-boats, besides the steam pleasure-yacht Fire-Fly, of New York, belonging to Mr. T. P. James, who is on board with his family.

I am, very respectfully, &c.,

P. MONDY, Collector.

Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C.
