Of Foreign Powers at the Court OF Copstau;ioople the
great show and psrde they made there, wholly for ef

i1co potency of their salaries at tn. courts OF The civ

Charge dAGaires would be competent to perform all
the necessary duties; though, even if Li smendmen

OF an increase Of mssions-he would rarher reduce

Mr.. King said, that the subject had been submitted
TO the Committee en- Finance without any recomme nda.

Mr. HdyDe, from the select Committee TO which wa
referred sundry memorials, praying for a reduction of
he duties on imported iron; and others remonstrapg
gainst The reduction, made report and moved that il

Mr.. Dckerson said the repo was from the m iority

freely at vaiince with thoss Of the majority. The
report had come under his eye for the first time yes
erday, aud be had not yet had time TO prepare re-
port OF the views OF the minority. H. should probably
be able to do on Monday. He thought the views of

quest OF
Mr.. King, who said the statement made by the Ssna.
or who had u't taken his seat, OF the most ex
faOrdnary he had ever heard. Committees were sci.
iom unanimous; it was generally The majority of the
Committee which reported measures for consideration
