had. At the same time, informed that MI

advise Congress 10 wait for the decision
Of the Chambers.
What must not then have been our as

this side Of The Atlantic! And would il h
expected that the French Government
after having fulfilled the double duty o
! satisfying its own dignity by recalling il
, minister from Washington, and Of re
deeming the laiih Of treaties BY obtaining
from the Chambers the appropriation ne
. cessary 10 the completion Of the conven'
!, lion OF the ilh Of July, after having ten
dered to the minister Of the United States
, bis passports; could il be expected, | re-
/ peat, that the French Government woult
J not wait, before it resumed any commu'
niea,ion on the subjec. with the govern
ment Of the Union, and before i, renew
ed with il interrupted relations, ina, lh'
latter would come forward and expires,

Such is, in fac, and in substance, III,
course which the amendment introduced

I out 10 the Government: such is the cours
t which the government intended 10 hay
pursued now if The law had not made
