Mr. Clay, in continuation, observed.
that similar report would that morniny
be made in the other House, and that.
as the resolution under which the Com
mittee had acted, originated there, il wa,
deemed unnecessary to proceed farther
until alter some action was had in that
House. He moved, therefore, that III.
whole subject be for the present laid on
the table, which motion was adopted.
\ FRENCH INSTRUCTIONS.
/ Mr Clay rose and said The Sen,,.
would recolect that that part of the Pres
,idents Message which relates to our for
ieign affairs was referred to the Commit
tee on that subject shortly utter its organ
'za'ion. 1t was deemed essentially neces-
'sary, in order to form a correct iudye-
,ment on tho measure recommended bv
the President, that the instructions TRIMS.
,,mitted to our Diplomatic officers, neor
the coast Of France, together with tho
correspondence that pat sed between the
two Governments since the Cd of Febru-
iary, 1882, should be submitted to tho
COMMITTEE for the pu, pose of enabling
them to form an opinion on the subject .
Entertaining this view of the matters "a
le,tor was addressed by the Chairman Of
the Committee to the Secretary of State.
who very promptly transmitted the docu.
ments but he did so, based upon the
condition that they we're to be rewarded
lns conidentially communicated. Now, il
seemed that the President has recon-
mended public measure, and that rec
"mmendation had been publicly referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
and as that Committee was TO make pub.
lie the report, they could not recommend
any legislative action under the restric-
tons imposed upon them by tho Secre,a-
Try on transmitting to them the cores
lpondence. That officer, in his letter ;n.
t'mated that if it should be deemed of i'm.
portancc that u" Sc documents should ba
made public in any contingency, he ex-
pected that call would be made on the
Executive in the usual form. 1t was ON
that account that he presented this reso-
luton, which called for the documen,s n
which he referred. 1t would have been
his personal wish that the Senate sbnuld
have adopted the resolution o.dsy . but
IN consequence Of an intimation which
had been given him by an honorable SEN
Iator, that he wished it to lie upon the ia
Die one day, he forbore TO press il nj tho
present time. Mr. G.. then offered a res
oIution to that effect, which was laid upon
the table for consideration until to.mny-
row

lutlons, and the transaction of other bu,;-
