The President declined at the lato session
to furnish Congress with the correspondence
touching relations with foreign Powers, in re-
gard TO questions growing out Of the war but
resolution was adopted BY the House call
ing for such information, if compatible with
the public interests, to be laid before it at the
beginning OF the next session. BY that time
December the policy Of England aud France
will be developed in propositions or acts. IN
less. indeed, the National Government shall
anticipate any such action by such military
ana political success as may tend TO the OPEN
ing OF several Confederate ports for the cot
ton aud tobacco trade
Some weeks ago it was the much cherished

ton that the ports of New Orleans and Mem
phis would be opened To commerce BY ,he

adopted by England and France, they will be
such as VIII not necessarily be offensive to

reasoning attributed to Mr.. Knapp is unde-
