President Tyler received the Diplomatic Body
on Saturday, at two O'Clock, at the Presidents
mansion. Id H., H=@.a. ,...
In absence of the British Minister Mr.. Fox,
who, we are sorry to say, was kept away by in
dsposition,) the Russian Minister Mr.. BoDsco,
appeared at the head of the Corps. We give
below his address to the PRESIDENT, on behalf
of himself and his colleagues, and the PREsr-
DENTS reply.
As the members of the Body were respective
ly presented, the PRESIDENT spoke to each of
them of the relations, present or past, between
his country and the United States, and ofhis
hope of the continuance of amicable relations !;
and received from all congratulations, and the
assurance of the desire of peace and amity with
his country.
In these short conversations with gentlemen,
mostly strangers to him, the PRESIDENT was par.
ticularly happy, and this, his first official inter-
course with the Representatives of other Ma
tons was, we doubt not, exceedingly satisfacto-
nv. Nothing, indeed, could be more appropri-
ate or in better taste than the Presidents remarks,
and the replies of the several members of the
Corps.
