HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR CROL: Sir, I was surprised to receive by the pilot this morning a message from your Excellency to the effect, that this ship could not be permitted to enter the harbour unless she was in distress, as your Excellency had received orders from your Government not to admit vessels of war of the Confederate States of America to the hospitality of the ports under your Excellency's command.
If this he the position which Holland has assumed in this contest, I pray your Excellency to be kind enough to say as much to me in writing. I have the honour to be, &c., &c. Governor Crol, St. Anne's, Curaçao. This explanation removed all difficulties, and by 11 A.M. the requisite permission had been obtained, and the Sumter was safely at anchor in the lagoon.
