French decrees to which your Notes of the 25th August and nil
of November refer, or of the restoration of the commerce of
neutral nations to the condition is which it stood previously to
the proaulgation of th-se decrees.
If you should be in possessions of any such Information,' should
be happy to receive it from you, and fur that purpose I request
to have the honour of a conference with you at this Office to-
morrow, at two o'clock.-1 have the honour to be, &c.
