LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The dispatches
by the George Washington, which came to hand at a
late hour last evening, mention that Mr. Livingston, the
American Ambassador at the Court of the Tuilleries,
has solicited his Government to be recalled, from a despair
of success in carrying into effect the treaty of indemnifica-
tion with France. Although the King of the French gave
the most satisfactory indications of regret at the rejection
by the Chamber of Deputies, during the last session, of the
claims of the American nation, yet it is stated that the
present cabinet of that country seriously contemplate a
war with France for the purpose of enforcing the provi-
sions of that treaty. It is therefore expected that the next
session of Congress will open with a " war message."
This war, although ostensibly undertaken for the purpose
of enforcing the provisions of the treaty, is in reality no-
thing more than an attempt to give a momentary popu-
larity to a sinking administration. Such a war is repre-
sented to have been some time past in contemplation by
the President and his immediate friends. Mr. Van Buren
is declared to be most anxious to. have a brush
with France, in the hope of thereby obtaining an easy
passport to the Presidential chair. It should be remarked,
however, that this statement has its origin in the oppo-
sition papers, and those acquainted even remotely with
trans-Atlantic politicians, need not be told that the Ame-
rican newspaper scribes are not very fastidious in their
statements, when the object to be attained is the odium of
a political opponent.

Preparations were everywhere making for the approach-
ing elections, the struggle during which will doubtless be
fierce and protracted. Both parties appear confident of
success, and bent upon victory. The inspectors of polls
have been appointed, and the various newspapers are filled
with the details of meetings and strings of resolutions, ema-
nating from the respective belligerents. Not the least
amusing feature in these accounts is the incessant and tor-
tuous use which Brother Jonathan, in his domestic poli-
tical squabbles, makes of our phrases of Whig and Tory.
The Jackson party are dignified by the latter term, which
appears to be even more unpopular and odious than amongst
ourselves.

Mr. Charles Mathews, after an absence o fourteen
years from America, had arrived in New York. Some ex-
tremely flattering notices of his general merits as an actor,
have appeared in the papers, which, preceding as they do,
his appearance at the Park Theatre, are likely to be bene-
ficial to him. There is, however, another actor, who per-
forms on another stage, against whom the most strong and
indignant execrations are hurled by the opposition papers.
This is no less a personage than the celebrated William
Cobbett, whose recent Life of Andrew Jackson appears to
have excited the most bitter hatred in the breasts of those
persons opposed to the policy of that statesman. The long
vocabulary of hard names appears to have been literally ex-
hausted in describing what are termed his atrocities.

Miss Martineau's arrival in America is described as
having produced a considerable sensation in that country.
She intends passing the present winter in Washington,
where she will be looked upon as a " lion." From thence
she intends visiting New Orleans, with the intention of
returninc, by the Mississippi, through the Western States
to New York, so as to be in Boston during the next sum-
mer. Her powerful style of writing, so well adapted to
the grave and complex subjects of political economy, is
spokn of with much warmth, and in addition to the admi-
ration of her literary talents, the personal charms of the
lady are alluded to in extremely gallant and flattering terms.
Great horror is expressed at the miserable caricature sketch
of her which appeared in Fraser's Magazine.
The Mayor of Philadelphia has offered a reward of .500
dollars for the apprehension of the murderer of Perry, who
was assassinated in the streets of that city during an election,
as stated last night.
The deportation of slaves from the United States of
America is exciting some attention. By the joint exertions
of the African lonization Societies of New York and
Philadelphia, one expedition has been carried into effect,
conveying slaves from that country to Liberia, and another
expedition was to have sailed on the 20th of last month.
The project has been taken up with apparently a good deal
of spirit. _

The accounts of the cotton crops in the Southern States
of America, brought by this packet, are unfavourable. In
consequence of this information, a good deal of business has
been experienced to-day in the Liverpool Cotton-market,
the article sustaining an advance of id. per lb., with great
likelihood of an advance in the price. The freights from
America to England are low and dull. The regular packets
do not fill even at the most reduced rates. Bills on England,
previously to the sailing of the packets, were at a premium
of 71 per cent. ; on France, sf. 321 c. ; Holland, 39 cents.

Some idea of the great reduction in the average
price of wheat during the last year (says a correspondent in
the Devizes Gazette) may be gathered from the fact, that a
farmer of this neighbourhood, who rents his farm at a corn
rent (that is, according to the average price of wheat in De-
vizes market), and which farm consists of about 700 or 800
acres, 200 acres only being corn land, will have to pay three
hundred pounds less rental this year than he did last year.

NEW METHOD OF WEAVING STUFFS.—The
demand for six-quarter stuff pieces was so great during the
last summer, that to meet the exigency the weavers of Great
Horton, Clayton, Thornton, and other places around Brad-
ford, were obliged to have their looms enlarged : subsequently
the demand has gradually decreased, and as scarcely any but
narrow pieces can now be disposed of, a novel plan has been
resorted to, namely, to weave two pieces in one pair of looms.
The plan adopted! is the following :—Two distinct warps are
placed in the looms; a division is made in the fly-board, and
two additional spindle wires and picking bands are attached;
thus two shuttles are plied in the place of one ; -but the break-
ing of the wefts is soirregular, and the loss of time in rectify-
ing them so great, that in all probability the experiment will
be abandoned. In six-quarter warps, a reed is left out of the
slay, so that, when the piece is finished, it may be cut down
the middle; but this is a novel experiment; it was tried some
years back in cotton weaving, and was found not to answer,
and in all probability it will not be more successful in worsted
weaving.—Halifax Express.

CHINESE TRANSLATION.—The following adver-
tisement was issued in China by Captain Putnam, of the Ame-
rican brig Nabob. It was afterwards translated and published
in the Chinese language, and presented the curious difference
between the Chinese and English idioms :

ADVERTISEMENT.

" Absconded last night, from the American brig Nabob,
Sam. Butler, the cook, and John Smith, the steward, taking
with them 450 Spanish dollars, belonging to the master and
first officer, who offer a reward of 50 dollars for apprehending
the said cook and steward, and delivering them, together with
the dollars to C. W. PUTNAM,
,t Master of the brig Nabob at Whampoa."
The Chinese version is as follows :
" On the evening of the third (lay, of the eighth moon, two
black foreign devils (1), one the butler, the other the mate of
the Putlum (2) now at Whampoa, escaped from her by stealth,
with foreign faced money more than four hundred rounds in
their possession, the property of the Captain and Mate, and
the place of their concealment is unknown. Should any su-
perior man know of their downfall and fetch them to the vessel
Putlum, at Whampoa, it is clearly understood that on these
two foreign black devils being recognised, he will be thanked
for his trouble with flowered red money (3) fifty great rounds.
These words are true and will not be eaten.
" This chop is issued from Putlum's ship at anchor, at
Whampoa."

Note 1. The Chinese call all foreigners, black and white,
devils, in contradistinction to their own people.
Note 2. They designate the vessel by the name of the Cap-
tain.

Note 3. Gold.--American Paper.
