SIR,
In conYersiug with you about the
note which you did me the honor to
address to me on the 1st of May, |
could rot conceal from you my surprise
at the doubt which you had expressed
in that note, respecting the revocation
of the DEGREES of Berlin and Milan.
That revocation was proven by many
official acts, by all my correspondence
with your predecessors. and with you,
by the decisions IN favor Of American
vessels. You have done me the honor
to ask copy Of the letters which the
grand Judge anil the minister of the
finances wrote On The 25th OF Decem-
Der, 1910, to secure the first effects OF
that measure, and yon have said, sir.
that the decree Of the 2sth Of April.
1874, which proves definiiiveIy the re-
vocation of the DEGREES OF Berlin and
Milan, in regard to the Americans, was
not known 30 you.
have the honor to send you, as you
nave Desired, copy al these three
acts you will consider them, without
doubt, sir, as the piainest answer
which l could give to this part Of your
note. AS to the two ether questions to
which that uote relates, l will take
care TO lay them before the emperor.
Y on know already, sir, the sentiments
which his majesty has expressed in ia
gor OF American commerce, and thel
good dispositions winch have Induced
,im to appoint plenipoteuliary toI
reat with you on that important iatcr-
st.

Some of the friends to the standing
army, now about TO be raised, express
their uneasiness a5outthe means of sup
plying it with money and prnyls:ons.-.
They may make themselves quite easy
however, upon tha. score. An army o
$1,000 men are very we'll able to take
care Of themselves. They will not beapt
TO perish IN Tic streets for want Of food
and rui,ncnt, because. they are too n:odest
to ask for it, or too diffiAentto help them
selses, in case their petitions should be
rejected. If the Congress won, resolve.
that they shall be furnished with wha.e
yer supplies thcy may demand, they will
BASS ths resolve themselves, and if tie
vaults OF the public Treasury should be
too empty TO carry the resolve into r.
fec, they will End it equally convehicns
to take the necessary supplies out ofthc
chests and csllars os private c!tigens.-
In truth, if the government do lot cal

Mr.. Potter spoke against the bill. The eff
feet OF this and of other bills before the House,
would be. to produce the evils of an embargo,
without making the measure effectual. If gen.
tiemen came forward. boldly and proposed an
embargo, he declared he would vote for such
measure 10 continue as long as the war.
MIR. Rhca spoke against the motion.
Mr.. Newton spoke on the same side It's
passage was more than ever necessary to the
establishment OF pure and national commerce.
Nir Biacsiedgc also spoke against indcfi-
mite postpunement. He viewed the license sys-
TEN. as u new. mode OF Sewing tax on our
commerce, Which it was degrading to pay
Mr. Grosvenor spoke against the indefinite
