Sie: In connection with the representation which I was instructed to make to you 
respecting the seizure of the British schooners ‘‘ Onward,” ‘‘ Carolina,” and ‘‘ Thorn- 
ton,” by the United States cruizer ‘‘ Corwin,” in Behring’s Sea, I have the 
112 honour to inform you that I am now further instructed to make similar repre- 
sentations in the cases of the British Columbian vessels ‘‘Grace,” ‘ Dolphin,” 
and ‘‘ W. P. Sayward,” seized lately by the United States Revenue cutter ‘‘ Richard 
Rush,” and at the same time, as in the case of the ‘‘ Onward,” ‘‘Carolina,’ and 
“Thornton,” to reserve all rights to compensation on behalf of the owners and 
crews. 
I am also instructed to point out to you that, according to the deposition of the 
mate of the ‘‘ W. P. Sayward,” copy of which is inclosed, no seals had been taken by 
her crew in Behring’s Sea as is alleged in the libels of information filed on behalf of 
the United States’ District Attorney in the District Court of Alaska. 
Iam, &c.
