REPORT.

The secretary of state, to whom was
referred the resolution OF the Senate re-
auesting information on certain points
respecting the trade of the United States
to France, has the honor to report to the
President, that he has examined the files
of this department, and found no precise
information on the subject oftle said re-
solution, which has not been heretofore
communicated to Congress.
That in consequence thereof. he appli-
ed to the French minister for the rcqni-
site, information. who not possessing it,
referred the application to the consul gen
eral of France, from whom as yet. nothing
has been received, as will most fully APP.
pear by the accompanying letters, marked
A. and b.
1t may be proper to observe. that itis
generally understood, as we'll from the let
tiers Of Mr.. Russell, communicated to
Congress at the commencement OF the
present session, as from other sources,
that the trade Of the United States to
France, is subjected to very severe res
trictions but the precise extent and ma
ture Of them is not distinctly known to
this department. The instructions OF the
minister CT the United States at Paris en-
bracing this as we'll as other subjects,
communications from that source may
soon furnish more particular information.
An expectation OF the speedy arrival OF
dispatches from France, together with
hope that the French consul general would
have been enabled to throw some light up
on the inquiry. have caused the postpone
mont Of this report until the present time.

If the power were mine to toll for my bread );
But by nature disabled and hindered from

There's no hope to the heart and no end to the

Of the poor little wandering cripple,
Thanks, generous lady, my wants are supplied,
But for this / had sunk, but for this had died;
Till the latest of life, I'll remember thy care,
And the Being who hears, will comply with
the pray'r
Ofthe poor little wandering cripple.
In the day when thy deeds shall be canvass'd

Thou wilt not repent this kind action OF love ;
Formercy will tell of thy bounty to-day;
And pleading thy cause, thou wilt see IN the

The Speech of Gov Gerry lately delivered
to the Legislature Of Massachusetts,, is one Of
the most extraordinary productions of these
extraordinary times. Under the specious pre-.
text of endeavoring to allay the fury Of party
spirit, he has uttered a harangue calculated
to excite the most indignant feelings, and to
array one portion of the community agains
another. The approbrious epithets of which
the Governor is so lavish, MonarchiSts, To- |
ries, British Hirelings, "Gorgons and H.
dras and Chimeras dire" will be viewed viii
perfect contempt by every moderate man.
For ourselves, VIC ourIIlor nc GARD this pFodut
ton of Mr.. Gerry in any other light than ;

ingratiate himself with the ruling party, aid

freemen of Massachusetts should think Pc s

fes Mr.. Gcrry's zeal, and leaves him N

that the more furiously the younger Adan'
