The illustrious mother then called one of 'her attendants into the room, who at her request, wrote Own the substanbe of the message, which was read to the bearer thereof, and acknowledged by him to be correct. The attendant then, 'by his Mistress's desire, signed the paper ; after wbie,h, the Minister of State, on the same request, also signed it." .

A considerable time has elapsed since, by order of my Government, I had th e honour of urging to you the expediency of procur ing such an authentic act froth the French Govern" ment, and 'in all probability the above declara tion may haveheen issued in the confident expect' 4tion, ,that the Government of the United States would have been able to, produce it ere this.
