" We understand that two magistrates Mes;r
Dc Beaumont and De Tomqueville. have arriysJ
in the ship Havre, sent here by order of the NJ
mister of the Interior, to examine the various NJ;
sons in our country, and to make a report =.
their return to France. To other countries, .,
rcliaIly in Europe. 4 commission has also be-,

There is point in the following short parasraps
which we copy from the National Gazette T..
! true state of the case Is, we oplne, that the in
portanee which certain Auditors seem to ha,,
acquired, arises from their being very notoriCu:
characters:
" The journeys Of two Auditors, aud Their
errands, have been officially announced at Wash.
ington. and are mentioned with great emphasil
several of the Administration papers That class
of officers seems to have acquired a signal and
anomalous importance in our national affairs
Heretofore, the court record of arrivals and De.
partures was confined to Presidents and lles;
Of Departments"

Letter Bag of The Haure.-The refusal Olt.
Collector Of Newport to allow the letter bas Of
the packet ship Havre to be brought to New.
York oy the steamboat, has been mentioned. The
cause of this extraordinary course on the part Of
that officer. may be inferred from the foOvln:
paragraph from the New York Gazette. The
Collector knew that in Major Barry's hands, tie
Post Office is greatly in want of fuuda; & about
700 dollars have been derived from the letters
and packages Of The Havre:
g Our merchants feel very indignant at tn,
conduct of the Collector Of che port OF Newport
in not permitting the letters by the flavre 10 BE-
forwarded BY the steamboat, and we think The!
have just cause. In addition to the delay wlItI
they experienced, they have been saddled With
an enormous amount of postage-even pattern
cards having been chartered. and that to cons
dcrabIe extent. Some houses paid YESTERDAY
nearly fifty dollars, and very many as much a
thirty. twenty. and fifteen dollars each. We
have examined the Post Office Law, and DO not
believe that the Collector had any right to order
the Havre's letters to the Post Office. She put
into Newport BY stress Of weather, and did not
make an entry there. further than to report 70
the Collector. Her destination being New iOfs'
she did not {" break bulk" and the penalty IL
not delivering letters. is, in our opinion, resaIi'
ed by this con tingencv."
