Legation of the United States to
Spain, San
Sebastian,
August 28, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to enclose a translation of the note of Mr. Pacheco, dated the 11th instant, at San Ildefonso, in which he informs me that the government of the Queen has decided to approve the order of the captain general of Cuba, prohibiting foreign men-of-war, who remain outside of the port of Havana, from sending in their boats to that port, except in the sole case that the vessel is in need of succor.
With sentiments of the highest respect, sir, your obedient servant,
HORATIO J. PERRY.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington.
