substituting therefor the following:
"Resolved, That there is satisfactory
evidence tina, the French Government
desires that the appropriation for in-

OF We copy the following synopsis
from the Report Of the Senate's Com
mittee on Mr.. Poindexter's case.
The charge rests, as has already
been stated, on the affidavits Of Stew

seize on the first plausible pretext for
uniting 10 any plan for the injury of
Gov. Poindexter. He had been charg.
