PHILADELPHIA, March 8.
The following message was read in the house of representatives on Monday.
Gentlemen of the senate and gentlemen of the house of representatives,
The first dispatches from our envoys extraordinary since their arrival at Paris, were received at the secretary of state's office, at a late hour the last evening—they are all in a character which will require some days to be deciphered, except the last which is dated the 8th Jan. '98; the contents of this letter are of so much importance to be immediately made known to congress, and to the public, especially to the mercantile part of our fellow citizens, that I have thought it my duty to communicate them to both houses without loss of time.
JOHN ADAMS.
