certain letters, recently received at this de-
partment. from person in France, who
states, that they Svere handed 10 HIM 6y an
officer ofMe French government. Those
signed w. ID. Patterson have been compar-
ed with the official letters of w ID. Patter

ting.
iheletter signed w. M Is supposed to be
written by Mr.. of New York. who it is
SAID carried dispatches to you from Mr.. Pink
ney.
" 1t is much to be regretted that any of
our countrymeu should have been engaged
IN commerce such as that represented IN
these letters; and il is the determination of
the president not to permit any person 10
retain the office of consul of the United
2;ates' who is. or has been en.aged in it.
Hence he has directed the removal of Mr.
Patterson and Mr.. Vail.
The, enclosed letters, revoking their COM
missions. and directing them to deliver the
records and other papers of their respective
ohces to such persons as you may appoint
to receive them, you will deliver to them
with the requisite Instructions.
q" To ensure the delivery of the papers,
you will take such steps as circumstances
may require. and it will be proper that no.
tice should be forthwith given to the French
government of the dismissal of Patterson
and Vail, in order that their exequaturs may
be revoked.
