declarations. and reiterates this assurance,
that the judicial and administrative bodies
shall Continue in the plenitude of their pow

places, upon taking the oath of fidelity that
the legal tribunals shall prohibit all prosecu-

restoration they shall hr buried in oblivion !;

With respect to property, the King. who
has already announced his intention Of using
the means best adapted to conciliate the in

rendering attention to this subject almost SUI

they now enjoy. He likewise promises to
tue generals. officers and soldiers who may
distinguish themselves by espou,ing his cause,
rewards more substantial, distinctions more

from any usurper. always disposed to deny
and even dread their services. The King
again promises to abolish that pernicious
conscriptio destructive of the happiness Of
families. and of the hopes of the country. -
Such always have been, and such still are
the Intentions of the King. His restoration
to the throne of his progenitors will be 20

REPORT:

Taking into consideration the great i'm
portance OF the measures recommended. the
committee think it duty which they owe
TO the House and the nation, to state the
grounds on which their report is founded
Uniting with the Executive in the policy of
these measures, they wish to explain the
reasons which have produced that union.
OF the past it is unnecc ssary to take n
review the attention of the committees is
d avn with more solcitude To the future.
Previous to the late changes in Europe.
the bearing of our restrictive measures was
Tor the most part Confined to cur enemies ::
the obstruction to our, comm ersial inter-
course with the friendly powers ofthe world
being in manner insu2erable. AT present
prospect exists of of an extended commer.
cial intercourse with them highly important
TO both parties, and which, 1t may he pre-.
sumed, they will find an equal interest and
disposition to promote. Denmark, all Ger
many and Holland, heretofore under the
double restraint of internal regulation and
external blockades and depredations from a
commerce with the United States, appears
by late events to be liberated therefrom.
Like changes equally favorable to the
commerce OF this country appear to be ta>

parts of the Mediterranean. With respect

ed to the enemy. Should peace'take place
between France and her enemies, Including
Great Britain, the commerce of the United
States with France will fall under the same
remarks.
The considerations of an internal nature
which urge repeal OF these acts, at this
time. are not less forcible than those which
have been already 3, ated. Among those are
the following: The committee are persuad.
ed that IL will considerably augment the
public revenue, and thereby maintain the
public credit that il will enhance the price

in lieu OF specie, which has. Of late, become,
so much the object Of spe culations rendering
