From the True American.
Our readers will perceive in the proceedings of the House of Representatives yesterday, an assertion by Mr. Parker, that he was informed by a member of the Senate, that the President had nominated a new minister to France. We took some pains to learn the truth of this, and are happy to have it in our power to state that the President yesterday sent a message to the Senate, in which he informed that body, that it had been and still was his determination to adhere to his former declaration of not sending another minister to France, unless he had assurances of his being received as became the Representative of a Great, Free, Powerful and Independent Nation; but that as he had now received those assurances from the French minister, thro' Mr. Vans Murray, our minister at the Hague, he had nominated that gentleman on the part of the United States. The President further mentioned in his message, that his instructions to Mr. Murray should be not to leave Holland until he received very unequivocal assurances that he would be properly received, and that a minister equal in dignity was appointed on the part of the Directory to settle the existing differences and conclude a treaty.
