''His Majesty the King OF the Belgians, his

being equally desirous of establishing more
complete harmony between Their monetary legls-

OF their coined moneys, and to contribute, by
the formation of monetary union, to the pro-
gress of uniformity in weights, measures, and
currency, have resolved to conclude conven-

Commissioners Plenipotentiary as follows:-

LETTER FROM THE REV HENRY WARD
BEECHER.
To the Editor ofthe N. Y. Tribune.

10 We EuttOT 0I TIE ~ T. ITtOUnes
SR:-The publication in your paper of a let
ter purporting to be from Plymouth Church to
its pastor, although the carefully guarded terms
in which you introduced II need not have misled
any, has created general impression that such
letter actually was prepared and sent by the
church to me. l Will thank you, therefore, to
publish the facts.
No meeting of Plymouth Church, either
formal or informal, was ever held, or ev9n
called, touching this letter or its occasion. No
meeting of any kind whatsoever OF more than
three or four gentlemen was ever held at all.
The suppositious letter was drawn up by two
or three persons, and shown casually to two or
three persons for suggestions. There are nine
deacons OF the church; not one signed 1t. There
are nine trustees; not one of their names was
appended to the document, There are. | believe,
between l,700 and 1000 members of Plymouth
Church; not one single member signed II. Not
even the gentlemen who prepared il signed II.
1t was never received by me or seen till IL ap
peared in print. 1t was never sent to me at all.
1t was only after my second letter had been
publicly read to the congregation, that one of
the gentlemen interested IN this supposed letter
of Plymouth Church, bore 1t to the Tribune
office, and procured 1t TO be published in con-
nection with nina. If he had been frank,
you would not have published ii. For. he
he would have been obliged TO say;--"Here
is an inchoate letter, which q few gentlemen
have drawn up, which no ono has signed, and
which has never been submitted TO either o
regular or informal meeting of Plymouth
Church: can ii not be printed so as to seem the
sAure Of hr. BeecheE's second letter Had

'They shall receive without distinction into
their public treasures gold pieces coined accord
ing to the foregoing conditions in one or other
of the four States, with the reservation, never
theless, OF excluding all coins whose weight shall
have been reduced by wear to the extent of one
half per cent below the allowances mentioned
above, or where the stamped impressions shall
have become effaced.
''Article 3. The contracting Governments bind
themselves not to make, nor allow to be made,
silver pieces OF 5t., except according to the con-
ditions of weight standard, allowance, and
