In compliance with the request of the Senate of yesterday's date, I now communicate the entire correspondence between the ambassador of Tunis and the Secretary of State, from which the Senate will see that the first application by the ambassador for restitution of the vessels taken in violation of blockade having been yielded to, the only remaining cause of difference brought forward by him is the requisition of a present of naval stores to secure a peace for three years, after which the inference is obvious that a renewal of the presents is to be expected to renew the prolongation of peace for another term.

To save the delay of copying, some originals are inclosed, with a request that they be returned. TH. JEFFERSON. APRIL 19, 1806. _To the Senate of the United States_: I nominate James Monroe, now minister plenipotentiary of the United States at the Court of London, and William Pinkney, of Maryland, to be commissioners plenipotentiary and extraordinary for settling all matters of difference between the United States and the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland relative to wrongs committed between the parties on the high seas or other waters, and for establishing the principles of navigation and commerce between them. James Houston, of Maryland, to be judge of the court of the United States for the district of Maryland. Willis W. Parker, of Virginia, to be collector of the district and inspector of the revenue for the port of South Quay. TH. JEFFERSON. PROCLAMATIONS.
