Mr. Pike to Mr. Seward

No. 132.]

Sir: The United States government steamer Kearsarge has made her appearance at Flushing, in the island of Walcheren, with the object of making some repairs.

At the instance of the commander, Captain Winslow, I have procured liberty from the minister of marine for the ship to enter the government dock at that port for this purpose.

I have the honor to be, with great respect, your most obedient servant,

JAMES S. PIKE,

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington.
