PROM THE BALTIMORE TELEGRAPH. A singular and unexpected claim has been set up stainist us by France, under the treaty for the ces sion of Lonsiana. It stipulates that French Vessels are to be received in the ceded territory, upon the footing of the molt favored nations. Great Britain having since stipulated witlClse, the admission of the vessels of the two nations, in their respective ports, upon equal terms as to duties is hereby freed from a heavy ditty which France has to pay in Loasiana. It is added; she demands compensation for the excess of duty her vessels have paid since those of Great Britain were free from discrimination. The dis c:olore of this demand accounts for the transfer of negotiation from Paris to Washington. In either ciptial it could obtain but one reception on our part its unreasonable character ensures it. The ship Peru arrived at Nantucket, left Coquimbo en the 9th of August.

"The annual report of the Secretary of the Tres-. spry was yesterday tranensitted to both Houses of l'onzress; it is of greater length than usual, and as it will be the ground work of the fiscal arrangeenents of the present Ses lion, leas been looked fur with much interest." Again is oar paper so much occupied with the pro ceedings of important public meetings, as to exclude numerous articles of minor interest ; and while we endeavour to present a sketch of as many as can be collected at a single view, we are obliged to postpone, as in the instances of the meetings at Liverpool and Lanitrk, any account of the substance of the speeches delivered on the oc casions. We are amused with the apology made by the Morning Pose to-day, fur not filling the co lumns of that paper with reports of those proceedings. No►► the opinion of the country with respect to the conduct of Ministers is clearly seen, wherever open and public alerting' arc held of freeholders of counties, or inlialitant householders of respectable acd p.palous towns, the venal advocates of Government would Mind the public, if possible, to the view, and shrink from that appeal, results of which they boast wilco they appear in The Gazette. The truth is, that in every place which has a shadow of independence, the public feeling is rising agaiost the Ministers with such incontrovertible evidence, nail irresistible force, and the demands for political reform so urgent and general, that it requires extraordinary effrontery and hypocrisy to evade an acknowledgement of the conviction. Among the recent instsnces of thie spirit, which cannot fail to snake a very serious impression, is the 4/MENDED ADDDEES which is noticed is another of our columns, as voted on Thursday last at the meeting of the county of Lanark. • A ninonr has reached us this morning that prera rations are about to be renewed for the cere►nony of the Coronation.

The County Meeting of Lanark, embracing the Noblemen' Freeholders, Justices of the Peice, and Commiolioners of Supply, took place on Thtlisday last, at Hamilton. It will lung be remembered aeons of the most numerous and highly respectable meet ings that ever assembled upon such an occasion. The result of such a meeting cannot fail to be an object of zuriosity to our readers, and wilt perhaps be consi dered by the conntry at large as a phenomenon of no or4inary importance. General HastrL.roN, of Daigle], took the Chair, and a loyal address was proposed and read by General LOCIIHART. On that motion being seconded, Mr. HoPt Vuts arose, and after a long and able 'porch, moved that after the first paragraph of the address, expressly; loyalty, &c. &c. the remainder be omitted, and the following amendment substituted : " That while we humbly offer to your Majesty these assurances of our determined loyalty to your sacred per son, and to the constitution as established at the revo lution in l6St5, it would be want of duty not to express to your Majesty onr conviction that a strict regard to economy in the public expenditure, and the adopton of conciliatory measures, are essentially necessary to re move the hnancial embarrassments of the country—to allay the prevailing discontents—to restore confidence to the people in vont. Majesty's Govern:neat—and to se cure the tranquillity an.l prosperity of the nation." A long and animated debate ensued till half-past three o'clock, when a vote was called, and there ap peared For the Amended Address.

The cheering upon the announcement of the rote was instantaneous, and communicating from the Hall to the people out of (lours, appeared to extend itself through the tuwo. MEETING AT THE CORN EXCHANGE, DUBLIN. Jeer. 11. Thursday, half-past four, p. as. The adjourned Meeting' held at the Corn Exchange! thisday, for Cie purpose of receiving the report of the Committee, on the subject of the ACress presented on 1 Saturday last, by Lord Cloncurry, to the Lord Lieu tenant, on the late outrage committed on the Free holders of the county of Dublin is this nioment dissolved. The crowded state of the (treat Room was unprece dented. Lord Cloncurry endeavoured to gain admit-, 'ion, but from the immense throng and pressure,' found it utterly impossible. His Lordship would have presided could be hare made his way, but be was' ultimately obliged to leave the building without gaining entrance. At half-past two, Col. Talbot, (the County Meni. her), was called to the ('hair ; he stated that " was it possible lie could have imagined the result that would have attended the late County Meeting, no earthly power' could have withheld him from attending it, and sup porting, even at the risk of his life, the rights and, privileges of the freeholders." Colonel Talbot again rose and read a letter from the Rev. Dean Ponsouby, excusing his attendance on that occasion, and repro-' bating the measures pursued by tte Shorit at the : -let. Gaunt Meeting. 1 Mr. FINLAY, as Secretary, stated to the Sfeetioi, l that the Address lately voted to the Lord Lientonant, an the subject of the outrage committed on a peaceable and orderly meeting, by Sir Richard Steele, had been duly presented on Saturday last, and that " up to that moment no answer had been returned." " The great question for the people to consider," said Mr. Finlay, " is, if they shall have leave to live ; if, when they leave their homes in the morning, they shall be per- 1 milted to return alive to the bosom of their families." Mr. Finlay continued at some length, and was fol lowed by Counsellor Curran, in a speech seldom equalled for ability and eloquence, by moving, that an Address should be forwarded to the two Houses of Par liament, on the subject of that illegal and swot stitutional outrage. When Mr. Curran sat (lowa, he was greeted with three distinct rounds of applause. Mr. Eats 111‘DoxNELL rose, and in an able 1 speech seconded Mr. Curran's motion, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. O'Cus YELL was then loudly called on, and after some delay, came forward and addressed the meeting. The reading of Sir Harcourt Lees' letter to the Editor of The Courier, and the comments made on it by this Gentleman, excited the niertiment of the meeting iu no small degree. Mr. O'Connell con eluded by moving, that the present Committee, with the addition of Ociieral Cockburne, Anthony Browne, Esq., awl Counsellor Clinch, should be einfrveved 1 to prepare the Address to the two Houses •f Par. liatnent. This motion was carried unailotsouslv.i Mr. O'Connell afterwards moved, that as a mark of gratitude to Lord Cloncurry, for his uniform public spirit and patriotic conduct, a public dinner be given ; to that Nobleman ; which was seconded and carried with acclamation. Beitaral Cockburn, \vas then called to the Chair, i and the thanks of the Meeting were voted to Colonel Talbot, and carried by acclamation. The meeting ,then adjourned.

Oa Wednesday last, the Meeting of the inhabitant' of Liverpool, originally called by the Mayor, but which was broken up by a political manceuvre, was held at the Tennis Court, in that place, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of presenting a dutiful and loyal address to his Majesty, eipressite of the feelings and sentiments of the inhabitants of that borough, upon the exigencies of the times. .At twelve o'clock the doors of this spacious building were thrown open, and the hill was soon filled with the inhabitants. On the motion of Edward Perrson, Esq. one of the Council of the Borough of Liverpool, Thomas Booth, Esq. was called to ,the Chair, whiCh he filled with great dignity and propriety. The The worthy Chairman said, they all knew what had so recently happened at the public meeting held at the Town-Hall.
