Sir:
I have the honor of informing your Excellency that Congress have received a Letter from his Most Christian Majesty dated the 27th March last, announcing the birth on that day of a Prince, whom he had named the Duke of Normandy. As this event adds to the happiness of a King and a people, who have given many important proofs of friendship for our nation, it must naturally excite that pleasure which generous minds always derive from the prosperity of their friends and Benefactors. I have the honor to be with great respect,
