Mr. Young, charged with my last dispatch, dated ⟨   ⟩ 14th. to 23rd. Inst., left this on the morning of the ⟨   ⟩th., with an order from this Government for the discharge ⟨of a⟩ny vessel which he might select amongst those detained ⟨at⟩ Algeciras under the "blockade" decrees. That dispatch ⟨con⟩tained a copy of my note to the Minister of State of ⟨Ma⟩y. 5th., (No. 6.) and I mentioned that his Highness ⟨the⟩ Lieutenant had informed me of his having sent it ⟨by⟩ Special Courier to the Emperor, & his having Requested ⟨his⟩ Imperial Majesty’s decision with Respect to the American Vessels detained in Spain: I had two subsequent occasions of conversing with the Lieutenant on t⟨he⟩ subject, & in both he gave me Reason to hope that the whole of our Vessels would be released. On the day of Mr. Young’s departure, I Received from the acting Minister of State a note dated 23rd. Inst., communicating an order from the Lieutenant to the Departmen⟨t⟩ of Marine, for the discharge of all American Vessels detained in the ports of Spain on account of their having been visited by the English: a copy of that office is her⟨e⟩with inclosed. This measure I presume to have been taken in consequence of orders from the Emperor; but as ⟨the⟩ Grand Duke has been for these last few days very un⟨well⟩ I have not been able to see him, & ascertain the fact. Nothing else of importance has occurred since the depar⟨ture⟩ of Mr. Young. I have the honor to be, Sir, With the most perfect Respect & Consideration, Your very obedient Servant,
