IV., p. 8. in which he states the action of his Department in carrying into effect the instructions of the President. The Secretary says: The force sent into the neighborhood of Cuba to resist the exercise of the right of search by British cruisers, consisted of the steam frigates Wabash and Colorado; the sloops of war Macedonian, Constellation, Jamestown, Saratoga, and Plymouth; the steamers Water Witch, Arctic, Fulton, and Despatch, and the brig Dolphin co
