1t is singular that Napoleon, in L
proposed European Congress, shou
arrange the U. S. on his side, when Of
Rulers have Just disclaimed all come
ION with him.
1t is singular that we should actual
have Commissioners crossing the Altar
tic, as We supposed without his know
ledge, at the time Bonaparte propose
to provide seats for our Agents at hi
Congress.
1t is singular that our Presider
should have spoken so ambIguously,
in his message, about the right
search, &c. at the time the French In
peror at Dresden was claiming US ,
supporters of his doctrines.
1t is singular that our ENJOYS shou
have been appointed by the Preside
alone, and sent off, only few weel
before the Senate was to sit.
1t issingular thatthe President shot
on this subject, answer the Senate's j
quiry by a reference to his constitute
81 powers, as reported, instead of othe
wise.
Our rulers did not think a French r
voking Decree necessary; but it seen
Bonaparte did ; although by some 81
mission or neglect" it was not con
municated or published till year att
its date. What must Napoleon or Ba
sano have thought Of the continued dl
pute through 1911, between our COVER
ment and the British, as to the existent
of that Decree

ed for the Atlantic. An Algerine tori
