NEW YORK PAPERS.

We have received by the packet-ship Roscoe, via Liverpool,
New York Papers to the 11th of January. The most impor-
tant article they contain is a very long and elaborate report
from the Committee on Foreign Relations. This Committee,
as our readers may remember, was appointed by the Senate in
consequence of the President's message, and especially of that
part of it which relates to the disputes still pending between
the United States and France. The rep6rt, which is strongly
pacific, comes to the following conclusion, after a detailed re-
view of the question between the two Governments, and of the
different negotiations to which it gave rise :--
_ . .....

" The President seems to have been aware of the possibility
of a misinterpretation of his Message, and he has sought to
guard, the Committee hope with success, 'against its being
viewed in the light of a menace. But if his recommendation
be followed.up by the of a law of reprisals, in Congress,
it is much to be a.. -. that our purpose might be sup-
posed to be one tion. France would look at our
acts, not to our ions. And, in a reversal of situations,
Congress woul. hardly consider it consistent with its dignity,
its independence, and the freedom of deliberation, to pass an
act of appropriation for a foreign Government, with a measure
of self-redress, denounced and suspended over its head by that
foreign Government. If Congress shall decline authorising
reprisals, France mill have no right to impute to the Govern-
ment of the United States any design to appeal to her fears,
and will be deprived of any such pretext for refusing to exe-
cute the treaty. In that event, the message of the President
will be regarded as the manifestation of a lively sensibility to
the honour and interests of his country, but his recommenda-
tion not being adopted by the only department of the Govern-
ment competent to carry it into effect, it could afford no apo-
logy to France for disregarding the obligations of national faith
and justice." _ _

Finally, the report recommends to the Senate the adoption
of the following resolution :
" Resolved—That it is inexpedient at this time to pass any
law vesting in the President authority for making reprisals
upon French property in the contingency of provision not be-
ing made for paying to the United States the indemnity stipu-
lated by the treaty of 1831, during the present Session of the
French Chambers."

There is no positive mention in these papers of the proceed-
ings adopted by Congress on the subject, but the following pa-
ragraph is copied from the same Journal in which the report
appears, the New York Advertiser, of the 10th :
IMPORTANT.—The Intelligencer says :—" We casually
heard yesterday, and we do not see why we should not state it,
that in the Committee on Foreign Relations in the House of
Representatives, on Tuesday, the question was taken upon re-
porting a Bill conformable to the President's recommendation,
to authorise contingent reprisals against France, and decided in
the negative by six votes to three. We have all along said,
that, in the present posture of affairs, such a measure would
not receive the assent of Congress."
