Thereare a good many semaen confined at FOrt Waren taken from merchant vessels attempting to run the blocakade. I inclose the list made by oe of them for me:

Drs. Jeffery, Page and Lindsay, late navy srgeons of the U. S. Nvy, desire to be released upon some terms; prefer to be exchnged, as theyare anxious to go into service; were confined for refusing to take the oath to the United States Government. Captain Tansill, Captain Tattnall and Lieutenant Wilson, late of the Marine Corps of the United States, are also confined at FOrt Warren for refusing to take the oath. Theydesier to be exchanged and go intoservice. Lietueantns Forrest, De Bree, Glassell, Myers and Ward and Midshipmen Claiborne and Wahrton, late of the U. S . Nvy, are also condined for refusing the oath. They desier to be exchnged and to go intoservice. I was desired by all these gentlemen to call their cases to the attention of the War Department and ask your exertion to get them out of prison. Theyare gallant men and deserve attention.

I promsied also to iform the Department of the acts of kindness of some of the itizens of BOston to my men. When we first got to Foret Warren no preparation was made for us. I had many sik among the men. The citizens of Boston or ssome of them furnished the hospital with everything required for comfoprt, andin additiona bout $800 worth of clothing, most of which was given to my men. Afriend of Mr. S. Teackle Wallis, of Baltimore, a resident of BOston, sent to him some thosuand dolars' with of clothing, which he distributed among the sailors and my men.

Through the members of the Maryland Legislatyure confined at Fort Waren I redived fromt the citizens of Bltimore formy men very large contributions of clothing and hospital deliecacies.

I am, sir, yors, &c.,
