AT Boston we observe great exertions are
making to put the place in complies state

Doubtless you know better than me, the
particulars of the late disastrous battle, wbc b

ever is not true, and may now venture to
predict will not be realized. The dilatory
movements OF the allies have saved France.
Had they marched or Immediately after the

MONDAY, APRIL 4.
The unfinished business oil yesterday being
postponed with tha, view
Mr.. Calhoun, from the com uittee of for
cign relations, to whom was referred The
message Of the President of Thursday last,
made the following
- REPORT:
The committee Of foreign relations, TO 7phom
was referred me message Of the P,eudem
Of the 3l& Of March, submits 10 he House
me Jolozoing Refort---
Taking into consideration :he great impor-
tancc OF the measures recommended, the
committee think 1t duty which they owe 10
the House and the nation, TO state the grounds
on which the report is founded.--Uniting
with the executive In tho policy of these
measures, they wish 20 explain the reasons
which have produced that union.
Of the past 1t is unnecessary to take a re-
view the attention OF the com mmiuee is drawn
with more splicitudc 20 the future.
Previous to the late changes IN Europe,
the bearing OF our restrictive measures was
for the most part confined 30 our enemies
the obstruction to our commercial intercourse
with The friendly powers OF the world Being in
a manner insuperable. AT present prospect
exists Of An extended com nercial intercourse
wI,h them highly important TO both parties,
and which it may be presumed, they will find
an equal interest and disposition to promote.
Denmark, all Germany and Holland, hereto
tore under the double rcsirsin: OF internal re-
gulation and external blockades and depreda-
tions from a commerce With the u. States,
appear by late events to be liberated there.
from.
y Like changes equally favorable to the com
mercc OF this country appear to be taking
place in Italy and the moce extreme paris OF
the Mediterranean. With respect to Spain
and Pc, eugal, ia the commerce with whom
the United States have great interest, il may
be expected that commerce may be carried
on without the aid heretofore Afforded to the
enemy. Should peace take place between
France and her enemies, including Great
Britaio, the commerce OF the United States
with France will fall under the same remarks.
The considerations OF an Internal nature
which urge a repeal ot these acts,at this time
are not less forcible tha0 those which have
been already stated. Among those are the
following The Committce are persuaded
thar il will considerably augment the public
revenue, and thereby maintsin the public
credit that il will enhance the price and pro.
mote the circulatiJa of our produce, in lieu
of specie, which has, of late, become so much
the object of specuiations tending to embar-
rass the government.

Tho great and unexpected changes oper-

sequently my rcturn rendered impracticable.

had dropped from the clouds) created the
greatest sensation. The general belief was
that he would play the same game of which
the other allies of France had given him All
example; an opinion which was no, little
strengthened, two days afterwards, by the
publication of decree opening the ports of
the kipgdom to all vessels lndcr neutral flags;
in other words the English, whom il Was we'll
understood might come under that cover, and
no questions would be asked. Judging from
these circumstances that a further stay at Ma
pies would be imprudent, applied for pass
port, and set out on my return with all expedi.
tion. The whole country was in state OF
commotion, the people believing in deliver
ancc FROM the French yoke certain, spoke and
stuck up ono night at Rome, inviting the peo.
pic TO resist the auIhorjties in the prosecution
ofthe conscrplion then drawing, and promis-
ing them the aid OF the English,who would be
at Civita Veccbia with strong force in
few days. Add 10 this, that the roads were
lnfcsted by shoals OF robbers, who plundcrcd
aud sometimes murdered at noon-day, and
you may Judge to what horrid state this de-
voted country was reduced.
