FRENCH PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-SITTINGS OF JAN. 15.

M. DITPIN, PRESIDENT.

The Sitting opened at half-past one, the attendance of
Deputies was numerous. After some preliminary business—
The President said—The Minister of Finance has to
make a communication from the Government. (Great
curiosity. A number of Deputies, who were still in the
passages, hastened to their places ; they were above•3so.
Profound silence.)
M. Humann, Minister of Finance, spoke as follows :
Gentlemen, faithful in the performance of its duties, the
Government was proposing again to submit to your consi-
deration the measures necessary for the execution of the
Treaty of July 4, 1831. It was preparing to defend them
them in the name of justice, in the name of the political
and commercial interests of France ; it hoped to make you
participate in the conviction which itself feels. The mes-
sage of the President of the United States, on opening the
American Congress, has interrupted the execution of this
project. The Government, then, had to examine if the
same duty was still incumbent on it ; if the dignity of France
did not require a different conduct ; or if there existed a
means to reconcile inviolable rules of justice, with the legi-
timate feelings of national honour.
The King's Government, gentlemen, has not to justify
itself to you against the reproaches of the President of the
United States. This controversy would be without object,
as without dignity. Besides, in the discussions which will
take place here, all desirable explanations will be given, all
the documents will be laid on the table of the Chamber.
General Jackson has been mistaken with respect to' the
extent of the powers which the Constitution of the State has
given us ; but if he has erred respecting the law of our
country, we will not fall into a similar error respecting the
American institutions.

Now the spirit and the letter of those institutious autho-
rise us to consider the document in question as the mere
expression of a personal opinion, so long as it has not re-
ceived the sanction of either of the two other powers of the
!merican Union. The Message is an act of the Govern-
ment incomplete, which cannot produce one of those
determinations which France is accustomed to reply to
a menace or an insult.
We might have waited, gentlemen, till the resolutions of
the Congress should point out our line of conduct. But
the system of temporising had not the advantage of securing
our commercial relations, or of placing them eventually un-
der the protection of reprisals. Besides, on this system the
two Governments would have mutually waited for each
other, and at the distance at which they are placed from
other, the legislative sessions might perhaps have closed at
the same time at Washingtyn and Paris, leaving so impor-
tant a question undecided, and irritated by new delays. In
this state of things the Government necessarily rejected a
system of temporising.
The question of the national dignity claimed its first at-
tion. You know, gentlemen, how it has just provided for
it. But as the treaty of July has not become either less
just or less politic—as the conduct of the President of the
United States could not weaken the bases of equity and
reason on which the transaction is founded—the govern-
ment has abided by its determination again to submit it to
your examination, The engagement was entered into ; the
honour of France requires that it should be fulfilled.
In this important. deliberation the Chamber, we doubt
not, while it carefully guards with the ncition4 dignity, will
be impressed with all the feelings of good-will aid frign4-
ship, which for these sixty years have united the French and
the American nations. It will keep in view the elevated
consideration of maritime strength which has caused our
alliance with the Unit p. 4 States to be always looked upon as
one (,f the unalterable ruled of pup national policy.
In speaking this manner we mean u to 4 homage
nopose them to transitory Un-
to imperishable truths—to
pressions, and especially to declare France does not
the
impute either to the people or to the Government. u.
United states the sentiments and the proposals of the Pre-
sident. We desire to see in his message to the Congress
only the inconsiderate act of an isolated power, and the
national honour commands us, nevertheless, to persist in the

policy, which has always been that of the King's Govern-
ment, the policy of good faith.
You will carefully weigh, gentlemen, the motives which
recommend the adoption of the treaty. What we parti-
cularly ask of you is, to lay aside, as we have done, every
feeling foreign to the question itself, that is to say, to the
justice of the claim to the compensation of the commercial
advantages, which the treaty has guaranteed to France.
Actuated by these considerations, gentlemen, the Govern-
ment again lays before you, through me, the project. of law,
which I shall have the honour to read to you. It has
thought it to be its duty to insert in it an eventual clause,
the propriety of which you will doubtless appreciate ; this
clause forbids payment, on account of the sum fixed by the
treaty, before the intentions of the American Government
are well known. It is our right, and our duty, gentlemen,
to make the Government responsible for all its acts which
might wound the dignity and the interests of France.
The following is the project of law :

" LOUIS PHILIPPE, &C.
" Art. 1. Our Minister of Finance is authorised to insert
in the budget of each of the years, 1836, 1837, 1838, 1839,
1840, and 1841, the sum necessary to pay off, in six equal in-
stalments, the capital of 25 millions of francs, which is to be
paid in fulfilmerit of the treaty signed on the 4th of July,
1831, between France and the United States, and the ratifi-
cations of which were exchanged at Washington, on the 2d of
Feb. 1832.

" Art. 2. The sum of 1,500,000 francs, which the Go-
vernment of the United States has engaged to pay to France
in six annual instalments, to discharge the claims of French
subjects, shall be entered, in proportion as they are received,
in a special article of the budget. Credit shall be given to
the Minister of Finance for the payment of an equal sum, for
the discharge of the claims which shall have been settled in
favour of French citizens. _ _

" Art. 3. The payments on account of the sum of 25 mil-
lions of francs, shall not be made till it shall be ascertained
that the Government of the United States has not done any
thing to the injury of the French interests."
The reading of this project was listened to throughout
with profound silence.
The President.—The Chamber gives the Minister an ac-
knowledgment of the project of law, and of the explanation
of the grounds of it, orders them to be printed, and distri-
buted in the bureaux, to be referred to a committee, which
we appoint.
M. Pelet (of La Lozere) ascended the tribune. Gen-
tlemen, said he, the Chamber will readily imagine that I do
not mean to raise a discussion on the project of law which

. -
has just been presented to you. I merely ask for the pre-
senting of papers which, if distributed at a later time, would
not be early enough to throw light on our discussion. The
Chamber knows, that besides the Committee named last
session to examine the project of law which is now again
laid before us, several preceding Committees had to examine
it. There is one in particular, whose report on this impor-
tant question was made in 1831. I ask for the printing
and distributing of this document, which is mentioned in
the report of the Committee of last year. I do not suppose
that anybody will object to this. For my part, I think it
c ilculated to show •you the affair in its true light, and it
must have the more weight as the Committee, whose work
it is, having examined the question bgfore the conclusion of
the treaty of 1831, was free from all bias, and was better
situated than any other to appreciate the question of right
in itself. The Chamber will, doubtless, think with me, that
the affair ought to be examined in every point of view. For
these reasons, I ask for the printing of the report of which
I have spoken.—(Supported.)
M. de Rigny, Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Minis-
ter of Finance has declared that all the documents relative
to the treaty with the United States shall be laid on the
table of the Chamber. If there should be any among them
the printing of which may be thought necessary, the Go-
vernment will not make any objection to the, printing of
them.

The President.—When the documents shall be laid on
the table the President will transmit them to the Committee,
and will have those printed which it may be thought neces-
sary to print.
The Chamber adjourned till Saturday.—Journal de
Paris, Jan. 16.
PARIS, JAN. 16.—The llfoniteur published to-day the
treaty signed at Compiegne, on the 26th of July, 1834, be-
tween France, England, and Denmark, by which the latter
power accedes to the convention of November 30, 1834,
and 22d March, 1832, between France and England, for
the suppression of the negro slave trade.
It is affirmed that M. Livingston, the American Mi-
nister, on the communication made to him by the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, has replied, that having been sent to
maintain amicable relations between the two countries he
would not aacept the passports offered to him, till he should
have received the orders of his Government.—Journal de
Commerce. . _ _

If we may believe the Gazette de France, the recal of
Mina from his command is resolved on ; but they have not
yet ventured to announce it to him.—Messager, Jan. 16.
STUTTGARD, JAN. 10.—The German Courier speaks of
reports in some circles of an intended deputation of our As-
sembly of the States. We think ourselves called on to de-
clare this report to be totally unfounded. In the absence of
any apparent grounds, and with positive facts to contradict
it, we cannot help suspecting that the report has originated
in some impure source.

TRIAL OF WITCHES.
1662. There came to Inverness one Mr. Paterson, who
had run over the kingdom for trial of witches, and was ordi-
narily called the Pricker, because his way of trial was with
a long brass pin. Stripping them naked, he alleged that
the spell-spot was seen and discovered. After rubbing over
the whole body with his palms, he slipt in the pin ; and it
seems with shame and sorrow, being dashed, they felt it not,
but he left it in the flesh deep to the head, and desired them
to find and take it out. It is said some witches were dis-
covered, but many honest men and women were blotted and
broke by this trick. In Elgin, there were two killed ;in
Forres, two ; and one Isabel Duff, a rank witch, burned in
Inverness. This Paterson came up to the Church of
Wardlaw, and within the church pricked 14 women and 1
man, brought thither by the Chisholm of Comar, and 4
brought forward by Andrew Fraser, Chamberlain, of Fer-
rintosh. He first polled all their heads, and amassed the
heap of hair together, hid it in the stone dike, and so pro-
ceeded to pricking. Several of those died in prison, being
never brought to confession. This villain gained a great
deal of money, having two servants. At last he was dis-
covered to be a woman disguised in men's clothes. Such
cruelty and rigour was sustained by a vile varlet impostor !
RESTORATION OF CHARLES 11. CELEBRATED IN INVERNESS.

1662. The 29th of May being the anniversary thanks-
giving for his Majesty's Restoration, was solemnly kept
here, by preaching, singing of psalms through the streets,
ringing of bells, bonfires, small and great sbots,and all other
demonstrations of joy imaginable. And no difference ob-
served betwixt Presbyterian and Episcopals all arc seem-
ingly loyal, the laws so strict and observant, and none ap-
pear to dissent.

LOYALTY OF THE FRASERS-CONVERSATION BETWEEN

KING CHARLES H. AND LORD LOVAT.

1665. Thursday, March 20.—Sir Alexander Fraser, who
had taken the title of Dores, waited upon my Lord Lovat,
and conveyed him to Court, accompanied by the Master of
Saltoun and Sir Ralph Dalavil ; and most opportunely in-
troduced them to the King as his Majesty wasgoing out
to St. James's from Whitehall, and not many of his Court
with him. His Majesty was pleased to give them a most
gracious reception, and after the custom of kissing his hand,
they followed him fast at the heels until they arrived at the
Park. The King then, after his ordinary freedom, en-
quired into the state of affairs in Scotland and the North
of England, and having heard all their narrations most
attentively, after a long pause, the King was pleased to
direct his discourse to Lovat, saying,—" My Lord, I
call to mind that, being with my army at Torwood, in the
park of Stirling in 1650, falling in discourse with one of
my chaplains, . Mr. Colville, and asking him what he
en:night of the camp, and what clan he thought most loyal,
he truly gave me a Most siligthr account and Commenda-
tion of the fidelity of the Frasers, and their loyalty to the
Crown. I hope they continue so ; and if that some cor-
ruptions hath crept in among clans during the late Rebel-
lion) that now the Frasers, with others, have returned to
thew 'duty, boill fully cf;nvineed of the evil of raising arms
against their sovereign ; and..thl:t in tiute the tiniviati4l and
usual character of a treacherous Scot shall be worn off, and
loyal impressions received." My Lord Lovat replied—
" Sire, I had the same account from one of my kinsmen,
who was Captain of your Majesty's Guard that morning at
fvprogd ; a d I wish we may deserve the encomium given
us by that 4r41-n f444' '49 I.4Pk'Pc WO to titt
daily what may confirm it. And I ipray Uod, nano of mY
pver tainted with the least suspicion of dis-
name _
may ever prove true and
loyalty ; but that I, witn .1...•
faithful subjects to your Majesty, and that with our oyes
L and fortunes,"

GENERAL ELECTIONS

IN THE COUNTRY.

CARMARTHEN (COUNTY) NOMINATION.
JAN. 16.—At an early hour this morning, the small town
of Llandilo, where the nomination of our county Members
takes place, exhibited a scene of considerable bustle and
excitement, occasioned by the arrival of the three candi-
dates and their friends. After the Court had been opened
by Thomas Morris, Esq., High-Sheriff, and the usual pre-
liminaries dispatched, the following gentlemen were pro-
posed as fit and proper persons to represent the county in
Parliament.—Colonel Rice Trevor (a Tory), by E. P.
Lloyd, Esq., of Glansevin, seconded by Thomas Lloyd,
Esq., of Brouwydd ; Sir James Williams (a Liberal) by
J. H. Allen, Esq., of Crescelly, seconded by John Johnes,
Esq., of Dolecorthy ; and John Jones, Esq., by J. L.
Davies, Esq., seconded by John Meares, Esq. The High
Sheriff then put the candidates to the meeting in the order
in which they were proposed ; and on the show of hands
there appeared a large majority in favour of Sir James
Williams and the Hon. Col. Trevor. A poll was then
demanded on behalf of Mr. John Jones, who declared he
would bring his last man to the poll. Several excellent
speeches were delivered on the occasion. Sir James Wil-
liams has set the aristocracy of the county at defiance,
and throws himself upon the independent farmers and
freeholders to secure his return, which is positively cer-
tain, as his friends are one and all determined to plump
for him.

DENBIGH ( COUNTY).
FRIDAY, JAN. IG.—A new era opened upon Denbigh
this morning. All Lord Dinorben's tenants entered the
town in a splendid cavalcade, and gave plumpers for Mr.
Biddulph, instead of splitting their votos, as at the last
election, between him and Sir Watkin. This is virtually a
proclamation of hostilities against the Tory baronet, whose
brother, Mr. Charles Wynn, voted yesterday for Mr. Bagot,
and whose agents, after a thousand promises of neutrality,
have been restlessly active on the same side. At a future
election Sir Watkin will, perhaps, tremble in his seat ; he
may even lose his balance and fall over, or, as the boxers
would say, be floored. While the Reformers were foolishly
at their ease about the registration, the Tories were awaks.
In this manoeuvre the clergy have shown surprising skill
and dexterity. Mr. Bickerton, of Lleweny, a zealous Re-
former, who pays an annual rent of at least 5001., presented
himself this morning to vote for Mr. Biddulph, and found,
to his astonishment, that his name was not in the register.
He never dreamed that it was necessary for him to look
into the matter ; but his name had, since last year, silently
vanished from the list, though his qualification is undoubted.
The same thing has happened in many other cases. A
subscription was last night entered into by the Liberal party
for the purpose of henceforth watching the registration.
