report Of the Secretary of State in reply to call
for any official explanations given to France touch
ing the resolution unanimously passed by that
House on the 4th utimo Con the motion of Mr..
DAVIS, Of Maryland in regard to political arrange

We have read with great pleasure the letter of
the Secretary of State to our Minister In France,
explanatory of the position of our Government in
relation to the important resolution of the popular
branch of Congress; and We are confident that,
both in matter and form, the letter will, be ap-
proved by our readers and the country generally
for, while the Secretary states clearly and con-
ciscy the coordinate powers and limitations Of the
different branches of our Government, he con-
cedes nothing and asserts nothing incompatible
with our institutions or the declared policy of our
Government, and, referring only to the actual att-
tude of an inchoate measure, avoids complicating
the present by undertaking to interpret the future
