 srR-Mr, Livingston arrived here the day before yesterday. By the mail of yesterday, vour letter of the 1th May, win copy of Mf. Liyincston's last note to the Duke de l3roglie. was received. Affer an attentive examination of Mr. u. vinoston's eorrespendence with this Depart ,nent. and the t4overnr.5;lit 5.s Ere ees eacl- dated by his verbal explorations, the Presi- dent has directed ne to say to you that the gIassrs. de isothschiid have been authorised. by the Treasury Department to receive the ,aoney due under the treaty with Franee.-. ufthis minority they will bs directed to give notice to the French uoYernment, without demanding payment. For yourself, you will, 1.-the bill of indemnity is rejected, follow Ms. l.ivinpston to the United States. If the lno- new is placed at the dispoeal of the King, conditionally, by the legislature of France, YOU will await further orders from the United States. bit maintain guarded silence on the subject of the indemnity. If Ifapproaehed by inc Government of # France, directly or indi- rectly, you will hear what Is said without re- ply. state what has occurred n full to the De partment, and awuit it's instructions. 1t IS the desire of the President that you will make not even a reference to the subject of the treaty in your intercourse with the French Government, until the course intended to be pursued IS definitely explained to the United States. Whatevermay be said to the Messrs de Rothschild, 1t will be their duty to report to you as well as to the Treasury Department and when they converse with yon, they mus be reminded that 1t is expected that they vii wait for express notice from the Government of France that it is ready to pay before all ap plication for payment IS made.

 The course adopted by Mr. Livingston haf been fully approved; and the hope is indalget that his representations have had their just influence oil the councils of the King O France. However that may be, the Presi. dents determination is, that the terms upor which the two Governments are to stand to- wards each other shall be regulated, so far as his constitutional power extends, by France packet from the Treasury, addressed te the Messrs. de Rothschild, and containing the instructions of the Secretary, aecompa nicd by special power, appointing them tho apents of the United States to receive tht payments due under the treaty of hs3I, i forwarded herewith. The copy of lette from this department to NJ. Pageet, is alsi enclosed for your perusal.

 am, sir, your obedient servant,
