We have some reasons to believe that the
negotiations between general Armstrong
and III. Hauterive, al Paris, have gone SO
far as the signature OF a convention, subject
to the consideration OF the emp. of France,
and the executive of the U. S. The conven-
ton it is said had been dispatched in the
last week of August to Austria according
to agreement, and was expected early III
Sentenber. We can only say what we have
heard OF its tenor, without vouching for its
authenticity, thu zoe bsheoe the fact to be
styictlst as is STATED; that's TO say-ths ports
of France TO be open to the ships OF the Y.
States, laden with the produce ofthe coun-
tries subject 20 the laws and authority OF the
u. S. bat no American vessel to lmPortln-
to France the productions OF the colony OF
any other nation ; nor the manufactures or
