I send you agreeably to your request, copies of all orders given by ino to the commander of tho homo srpiadron, and of tho sailing orders of the ofllcors in command of the Yandalia and tho stoamor Union. Tho cruising ground of tho homo squadron is very extensive, and tho nurnbor of vessels oinployod not larger, it is believed, than usual. Iioporta havo been made to the Dopartmeut of domestic disturbances in tho islands of Ilayti and of Cuba, which will render tho presence of a ship of war necessary to tho protection of American interests. This will explain tlic order to Commander Chaunccy. Similar orders will bo given to the brig Lawrence or brig Truxton, both requiring slight repairs, as soon as cither may bo ready for sea, to touch at Cuba. I sond a list of tho vossols under orders for the Gulf of Mexico. I have tho honor to be your obedient servant, To tho President. J. Y. MASON. Confidential.

M .pnuiiL r -, . . immediately submitted to the Senate of the United States, now in session for its ail vice and consent. During the interval which will necessarily occur helore the treaty ia ratified or rejected, it is the part ol prudence to guard against any aggressions on our commerce or rights of our citizens, which may be attempted by any foreign Government nr by persons claiming to act under its authority. You will therefore concentrate the vessels under your command. The Vandalia, commanded by Commander i'hauncey, and the Falmouth, Commander Sands, will without delay be ordered to join you, touching at l'ensacola, an I you will leave at that place the necessary orders. They will sail from Norfolk so soon as some small repairs cm b mad. Yoa will, in your discretion, employ the vessels computing your squadron in croising in the Gulf of Mexico, so as to communicate frequently with Galveston ; and eccasioaally show yourself at or before Vera Cruz, with sjch deviations to other parts of your cruising grounds as in your judgment may be best calculated to effect the objects of your general and special instructions. You will be cautious in committing no violation of the rights of others, but resist and punish aggressions on ours. If, while the question of ratification is pending, an armed force shall threaten an invasion of Texas, you will remonstrato with the commanding officer, and yon wiM accompany your remonstrance with the assurauce that the President of the I'. States will regard the execution of such a hostile purpose towards 1 exas, under such circumstances, as cvin - , . ., . . . . c.g a most umrienoiy spirit towards the l niteri states; ami wnicn, 111 tne eient 01 tne treaty 3 ratincation, must jean 10 actual Hostilities wun tins countrv. 1 -in -;o.X ; .
