No. 554.]

Sir: Your despatch of April 3 (No. 364) has been received, together with a copy of a deposition made by Clarence R. Yonge, late a pretended paymaster in the marine insurgent service. The proceedings you have taken in regard to that person, as well as the uses you have made of the information received from him, are approved. I have laid the papers before the Secretary of the Navy, with a view to his being prepared for a meeting with Mr. Yonge when he shall present himself at this place.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
