Sir: Since the reception of dispatch No. 126 from the Department, I have had an interview with Minister Leon, who stated to me that thus far all efforts to discover the perpetrators of the outrage upon the Protestant cemetery near this city had proved unavailing.

He added that the search was still being prosecuted, and promised that the severest penalties would be inflicted upon the miscreants, in case of their eventual capture.

I have, &c.,

RUMSEY WING.
