Mr.. FREDERICK LIST, United States Con
sui at Leipsic, to the Secretary of the
Treasury, going to show that several OIL
the German States were in the habit oil

by paying the expenses Of the transpor

because they tu0u that such a letter is
on the cficjal recordsol that department?
As the locoCoco papers have, with char

letter as the one referred to, had no ex-
