Summary
Encloses letters indicating that the United States may get some commercial concessions despite the present preoccupation of the French government with other matters. Notes change in the constitution of France. Just a short time ago the King ruled and determined the course of the nation and its finances. Now he has been forced to retract his tax bill because of the refusal of Parliament to register it. In return the Parliament has consented to the exaction of another tax.
