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 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 Seslion, 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. •

MEETING OF 711 E COUNTY OF LAkARK.
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

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.

On Friday last, funr foreigners, accompanied by a
, person who had the appearance of a government mea-
-1 sender, through this place (Truro), in the Lon-
don maircsotdh, for Falmouth. On their arrival there,
it was discovered that they intended to embark in ose of
the t irkets, for the Mediterranean, and a report being
circulated that the celebrat. d Majocchi and three other'
of the witnesses against the Queen, were in the place, a
number of persons assembled to view theta. On their
proceeding to the place of embarkation, they were as-
sailed by hisses and execrations. Apprehendiag sisal

was determined to put his threat in essential, and the,
foreigners were allowed to embark withonirtitury, hap.

safety. After they had embarked, their potecter
turned, and set of by the math for town. It is said
that orders were received at the Custom-house not to
examine the trunks of these favoured persons --(West
