Instructions in regard to the questions involved in that case, and also in that of the pirates of the Chesapeake, including a disquisition on the article of the Ashburton treaty, and the laws for carrying it into effect, will probably be forwarded to you by the next steamer.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
