H. B. .1. Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. came to the Department oF State on the 24th of Feb. inst., and in formed the Secretary of State that .he had received from Lord Aberdeen, 1L. M. Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a despatch under date of the 18th of'Jinuary, which he was directed to read to the Secretary of State of the United States. The substance of that dispatch was that there was a statement in a para graph of the President's Message to Con gress at the opening of the present season serious import, because, to persons un ncquainted with the facts, it would tend to convey the supposition not only that the question of right of search had. been dita vowed by the Plenipotentiacy at Wash ington; but that Great Britais had .made concession o-n that point. - That the President knew that tie riaht of search never formed the subject of die cession during the late negotiatior.. and that neither was any concession required by the 1uitll State% Goverunment nor made by Great Britain. That the engazement entered into by the parties to the Trenty-of W%'n'bin.-ton for suppressing the Africans Slave Trade was uncoaditionally proposed and agreed to. Thai the British Government saw in ia an attempt on the part of the Govenment of the United States to give a practical ef fee t) -their repeated declarations aanast the Vrade, aid recognised with sat iracsion on-advance'towards the hunttne and on lighteued policy of all Chris'inn St-ites from which they anticipated much gamml. That Qreat Britain would scrupuiluirly fulfil the conditions of this enagement ; bat'that from the principles which %he has coastantly-asserted, and which are recor. ded in the correpotdence between the ministers of the United Statcs, in England. and himself, in 1841, England has not re. ceded and would not recede. Thaut he had no intention to renew, at present, the disesaseon upon the subject. That his last note was yet unanswered. That the Predident might be assured that Great Britaio w'ould- always respect the just clahns of the United States. . That Great Britain made no pretensions to interfer min ay manner whatever, either by detentien viitntaiearch -with veselsof the Unised - Senser~hkmown -er'believed to Iee saeh Itstill maintained and would ex sMight her; that if the ex of this right, eitbrfrom involun taryerror. or in spile of-every precautun. iossotetiniry shold estained, a promspt reparation would he af'ortled..

It is this: That the States have no nuthority. with refe rence to existing contracts entered into prior to such legislation, to provide for the exemption of property from sale under decrees on judgments until it shall have been first appraised under such a law, and unless it aball bring a sum bearing a pres eribed porportion to the amount of such appraisment.
