SENATE.

A report and accompanying resolution were
presented by Mr.. Mason, from the Committee
on Foreign Relations, in regard to visit which
it is understood an Admiral of the Tarkish
navy will shortly make to this country. The
object of this visit is to contract for the con.
struction of one or more vessels of war, to be
built at the navy yards of the United States,
for the use of the Turkish Government. Mr..
Mason thought it due to our relations with Tur.
key, that the distinguished officer should be re-
ceived with all proper courtesy by our Govern
ment, and that an appropriation should be
granted for the purpose.
Mr.. Biggs did not mean to object TO its con.
alteration, but had simply expressed his doubts
of its expediency, and would vote against it.
