These fact came out after the meeting of tbo commission yesterday, although the letter was drawn up and sent to the secretary of stato at It last meeting. Wednesday. Jan. 14. Meanwhile the commission will proceed on the original line of Inquiry, which promise to lie a slow and Uiflicult task, trusting to the abridgement of the pro ceeding Ister on by the production of evi lenee by both parties and the appear ance of attorneys, when the proceedings may at once take on the form of a Judical trial, and the attainment of a conclusion be correspnudinglv hastened.

Tho president has sent to congress correspondence with Ambassador Bayard relating to the move ment to iinpcach tho ambassador because In speeches in Great Britain he criticised his fellow-conntryiucn. A letter from Bayard to Secretary Olncy covers the ground of his defense. Tho president took no action iirtho matter. The letter says: "Observing the proceedings, as reported by telegraph, of the United States house of representatives in relation to a paper read by mo on tlio evening of the 7th ulti mo, before the Philosophical Institution of Edinburgh, I havo tbo honor to enclose herewith for your inspection a printed copy of tlio uddrtKS in question. "Observing that in tho courso of the discussion in the house reference has been made to tho personal instructions of tlio department of stato to tho diplomatic ofliceis of the United States, I respectfully advert to article VII and its sub-sections, in order that your attention may be drawn to tho fact that tho address In question was delivered before an institution purely literary nnd scientific in its chnr.-.cter, ud wholly unconnected with political parties, which had honored two of my ulllcial predecessors with similar invita tions, which in both cases luul boon ac septcd, subjects political in their nature ('Democracy and 'The Law of the Land') having been respectively selected, and treated With distinguished ability. "The address consisted of iny personal opinions upon governmental institutions in general the moral forces and tendencies which underlie them and tho govern mentid policies which assist in thu con servation of the freedom of tho Individual as an essential Integer of human progress and of tho permanence of civilization. Tho judgments so delivered wero formed by mo nfter careful deliberation, and in their present action sundry historical fact and arguments tending to sustain them were advanced. "When the congress shall havo con cluded its action on tho subject It is possi ble thnt I may desiro to submit further statements; but meanwhile I consider it proper to place licforo you tho address itself In full, and the facts connected with its delivery." Of tho spotc-li at Boston (KugHnd) tho ambassador says it was en tirely impromptu nod ho had no notes thereof. Ho sends newspaper reports of this speech stating that although ho cannot prove It they nro not perfectly cor rect. Still they give tho general intent of tl.e remarks which he submits taken as a whole, contain nothing objectionable. AltSOLl TKLV VOID OF TKUTII.
