American Papers to the . 17th of October have been received. The exertions of the friends of both candi dates for the Presidency increased •as the time of elec tion approached, and the balance seemed to incline in favour of Mr. Ad -tars, who, it was thought, would have a majority of votes in the proportion of eleven to nine. The S iuthern States continued to display. their hostility to the new Tariff by every means in their power. Ia Georgia. Anti. Tariff meetings were held in every quarter, and resolutions bad been passed, " Not to consume. the bread stu/f-- 7 buy the horses or cattle— or use tte manufacture' •articles produced in States that had advocated the Tariff,' which is pronounced to be " unconstitutional and oppressive." It is also as. netted, that if General Jeck.soo should obtain the Pse sidency, the. Tariff would be immediately rene,iled.— The Northern States, on the contrary, boat of the ad vantages which they have already derived from its Jt gulations,and express much anxiety for , its coutingame r " Our manufactures," say they, "have received,a new impetus from the Tariff—already they begin to - increase and improve the home nurket for the productions of agriculture — their influence on prices is felt,and ac knowledged; our canals and other internal improve ments approach completion, and will shortly be useful in affording facilities for transporting the heavy pro ductions of the soil and of art to market." Official information has been received at the Depart ment of State, that Mr. Tudor, the American Charge d'Affaires at Rio Janeiro, had obtained from the Bra zilianßovernmeot an indemnity of 35,000 dollars for the condemnation, of the brig Spark, and had a fair prospect r f similar success in the other cases committed w his charge. The farmer Minister of the United States, M. Regret, had not only failed in a negotiation to the same effect, but had demanded his passport and returned to his country in consequence. FRENCH PAPERS. PROM THE GAZETTE DE TRANCE, NOV. lb. PARIS, Nov. 14. No interes:ing intelligence has been received from the theatre of war.

The corps I f General Roth had rejoined that of Prince Sclierbatoff before Silistria.

Three digte s 15f. 104 The state of the French highways has been a subject of loud and general complaint, both with natives and foteign travellers. Some parts of the road between Calais and Paris is so bad, as at certain seasons cr. the year to occasion great delay and some danger;, And the roads leading into Germany by Strasburg, or to Italy by Lyons, are still worse. This fact need excite no great surprise, when it is recollected that the whole of the highways in France are made and repaired at the expense of the Government, and that the whole amount set down in the budget under this head of expenditure—namely, for making roads and bridges, and for keeping them in repair —is only about 20,000,000 of francs, or about 800,0001. The necessity for same change in this part of the in ternal administration of Fiance led, in August last, to the appointment of a commission to inquire into the facts, and to suggest improvements. This commissi•in nominated two of its Members, Baton Pasquier and Count Mole, to draw up a statement embracing' the re sult of their inquiries, and the former has just printed his report. It al:wean from his statements, that the high. ways either at present used or about to be opened, ex tend .the length ef 8,584 leagues, tie league being 4,200 yards, or about two English miles and a half. Of this total amount, 3,572 leagues only (or less than the half ) are in a state of repair, and are kept up at the expense of 2,280 francs per league (or 8,146.821 francs in all); 3,580 leagues are in such a state of dilapidation, that it would require 18.624 francs per league to render them fit for use; 1813, being unfinished, would require to complete them 47,420 banes per league; and 365, being still to be opened, would de. mated 71,962 francs per league fur their construction. Thus, separately from any expenditure for annual re pairs, it is cAculated that 198 000,0h , 0 of francs, or nearly 8,000,000/. sterling.would be necessary to restore and complete the lines of communication which go wider the name of royal roads or national highways iu France. Of course the whole of this charge would not accrue in one yeti, nor are all the roads which it would be necessary to complete of equal urgency ; but such an expenditure would be requiste to form a tolerable system of roads in Fiance, or to bring the existing communi cations into a proper state t.f repair. In the opinion of Baron Pasquier, this exvense, though great, ought to be borne with cheerfulnes by the nation, and w ould soon be repaid with huttett by the increase of l wealth, and the extension of indiistry, which improved, facilities of communicationwould create. The com. mission afterwards pioceed . to the discussion of many points of no grist footrest tin this side of the water.— Such as, whether they olrght to recommend the Mac adamisation of their road's, the plantation 'of trees to shade them, and other such questions. When the atten tion of the Ministfy, the public, and the Chambers, is .thus called to the state of the French high ways, there , can be little doubt that improvements will soon be . adopted. The sum demanded far lire new construction is formidable; 6or a nation which allossed its Sovereign in waste 5,000,00 N. sterling on the palace and park of Vers,ailles, aad which three yells ago advanced 400,000,9001, sterling to .imienaffy the.emigrant Nobi. l lity, ought not to grudge 8,000,0001. to . complete its hues of interval communication.
