Mr.. CLAY expressed his concurrence
in the resolution with which the report
concluded. though NOT 10 all the reason

sidered the correspondence between the
two governments a. not making ont a

demand for satisfaction and indemnify
before The Senate should proceed 10 con.
slder The Interior measures which the no.

As to Mr.. Ellis's departure from Mex

OF the Mexican Government to Mr.. El-
lis's demand was q temperate, dispas

gard 70 others. VT. G. thought il would
have been better had our Charge remain

havereachsd him. and might have been
officially communicated to Mexico, Of the
disposition, BY our own Government as
TO that question which had chiefly occa'
stoned the offence taken BY Mr.. Goros.

Mr. c. condemned the publication Of

terms: vet observed that such publIca.
tials were not without precedent in the
annals of our diplomacy. He referred,
as one instance. In the publication. while

and in a most critical situation. Of all the
COZ, espondence Of the American negota
tor SIth their own Government and with
The British commissioners. This had
pr,dnced o great shock in the minds
and feelings of the British negosIssors. and
il b,t been With d. nculiy that Mr.. G..
could explain the matter so as in any de
gre To remove the irritation which might
have been fatal 10 the success Of thai ne
snla,inn. So Nr Psgeo,. the late and

oubh-hed the letter Of The Duke de Brog'
lie Notwithstanding which he had beer
receryed nv this Government. when AGAR

Ielye that il had not been until some in
timstion, official or unofficial, was con
yered to the cost Of France, that Mr
pspeol's return would mol he dissgreeabl
to This Government, that the measure Il

The letter of Mr. Ellis was only a sun

Mr. Ellis had strictly obeyed his ins,ru
