[Inclosure 2.—Translation.]

To the Chief of the Governmental Bureau of Seville:

The permanent commission of the consular body of this city having met in the consulate of the United States of America, it is resolved to address your corporation, requesting that, in order to avoid the serious prejudice suffered by the foreign vessels at anchor in this port by reason of the paralyzation of the operations of loading and unloading cargo, you will be pleased to contrive means to check this paralyzation, so that the necessary operations may go on and foreign vessels suffer no detention here.

At the same time it is also resolved to excite the zeal of your corporation to endeavor, by any means in your power, to devise ways of admitting the mails to this city, as their non-arrival causes serious prejudice to natives as well as to foreigners.

(Signatures.)

Seville, July 25, 1873.
