1--WE have the unpleasant duty to inform our
readers Of our being deceived respecting Presi-
dent Grants Message to Congress. Our aim is
to trust as lille as possible to sources of infor-
nation outside of our own control, yet we
thought it inconsistent with our duty to with
held from our readers knowledge which SEEM
ed properly authenticated. But it now appears
thai the agent of Baron Reuter- deceived him,
AMI, through him all Europe. Instead of the
belllcose language regarding Cuba attributed
to the President, the New York papers
just received show a gross misrepresentation
which unless decisive steps are taken to justify
in the future q confidence which has been mis-
placed, will make it impossible to put trust 10
the intelligence which may be received hero
after from the sam quarter. Not one word Of
our report of the 9TH inst. was sent to Congress.
The text Of the Presidents Message, now
reproduced in our o%olunns, show the complete
substitution Of q fabricated statament for tue
real account"
