Mr.. PRuYS moved to amend by providing for a
Minister to the Papa States and spoke support OF The

Omiting for tho last or two to provide for that
mission was founded on q mistake.
Mr. WAsgBuaNE trcpl Of H. opposed the amendment.
Congress FULLY understood It. and tho action oil
Congress was founded the conduct OF Paa govern
ment towards American citizens. He did not think
there any necessity for ro-esIabshng that nsson

different to what tho House should DO in the matter

/ Mr.. BANKS opposed the amendment. Ho conceded
that there miga be question about the excellence
Of those govennens; but ministers we're not sent to
foreign because OF tho excellence Of those

However imperfect those might Do, IL
still very important that the Ipitsd States should DO

gree unwise TO abonsh those MISSIONS
Mr. BrrLra intimated that u American commerce
porls white ministers were maintained there, II might
| be well 10 try the experiment Of abolishing those
msslons
| Mr. PIKE, repl Of Me-, thought that II any missions
10 DO abolished they should rather be missions 10
Mr. WOOD, tdsm.) Of n. ", thought that neither in

found TO exist He therefore opposed curailing
